EESoc Christmas Dinner

EESoc's Christmas Dinner this year was held at Kensington Marriott Hotel (yes, of all places, it's the one opposite big Sainsbury's). Somehow had an intuition that the food wouldn't be that great but it turned out alright. Roast norfolk turkey and glazed ham with cranberry was simply scrumptious! *drools* I'm actually still missing it at the moment.

Anyway, below is how the event went:


The gents from Flat 54 arrived ridiculously early for the drinks at 6.30pm (dinner was at 8).

Drinks served. (Champagne and orange juice)

Then, a while later..

(someone sauntered through the crowd)
DW: Isn't that Roy Keane?
Me: *blur a while* Roy Keane is here??
DW: Yeaa, I think I saw him

*DW = Deng Wei


I thought he mistaken Roy for someone else instead until Shin Hung confirmed that he, too, saw him.

Roy Keane was there since the Sunderland team will be staying at that hotel before their match with Arsenal (I think) the following day.

(Anyway, I'm not a HUGE fan of football like DW and Shin Hung but I recalled watching Roy Keane on field when he was playing for Man U last time)

Next up, it was dinner followed by a lucky draw.

TADA!

Yes, I was one of the lucky draw winners for the night (lucky number 144). Received a £30 gift card to Harrods! Not too bad eh?!

Alright, will be signing off now and I'll try to blog more soon!
