The Singapore Business Council invited the AMBCQ to their Chinese New Year dinner on Saturday, 20th February. We took a table and had a fun time - it was squeezing room only at Aspley Oriental but it was a very nice dinner, lovely company and a fun night. The lion dance was done by Khuan Yee lion dance group and it was very good. The lions got around the whole restaurant and everyone was encouraged to get up on their chairs and feed the lions with red packets! Then after the ang pau feeding frenzy and the "choy ching" (picking of the green) we were treated to a 'drunken lion', which was something new for me, watching the lion staggering around with its eyes shut before it hit the floor!
We have a good relationship with the SBCA - they are a really nice bunch and they are also good supporters of the AMBCQ. We always enjoy attending their functions and they often do something a bit fun and different - at their national day event, they had an art competition; for Saturday night, they had a scavenger hunt. Our table didn't win that, and we didn't have any luck with the raffle either, but maybe next time!
I wish to thank SBCA for their warm hospitality and friendship.
