Last Fri, my division had a Hari Raya and Deepavali celebrations and myself and Shahrul, another project officer from the south zone were emcees for the event. As it was a DeepaRaya celebrations, one of us had to don the Indian costume while another the Malay costume. Initially, I agreed to wear the sari but when I saw how skimpy the coli was, I almost died. It's not the best to be exposing 3/4 of your stomach to your directors. But cos Mrs Singh, the person in charge of the whole programme was the best sari tie-r (I don't think there's such a word), she managed to tie the sari such that only a little of the side of my stomach could be seen.

I had a pretty good time. Great company, ok food (sorry, the lontong was bland), sporting people and lots of interaction. The Supts and SAPOs made ketupats, wore saris and baju kurongs and danced to Hindi music. I definitely enjoyed myself....

Me and Shahrul, emcees for the day. He has 4 kids, very productive.



Me, Shahrul, Rodney, Vishaal (he's covered) and DD Leadership (DDLD). DDLD was talking to us about the judging criteria for the activities. Nice guy. :)



My favourite Supt and the Supt I'm assisting, Mr Dawson. He wore a sari and pranced around. Hahaha...:)



The SAPOs I hang around with all the time when I'm at work. Yes, they are all guys. It's not a deliberate attempt. Without them, my life in SD will be dull. From L to R standing: Leonard, Tom, Rodney & Vishaal. Seated is obviously me and Shahrul.



Yeah!! So many events down, my time in SD is ending!!!! And hello Australia!
