a splendid evening to remember - 22nd Sept 2006

22nd Sept 2006 - is really THE evening to remember, coz that i should say its my BIGGEST organised event as MUSA Activities Chairperson 2006! The venue - being Palace of the Golden Horses. Just face it. You and I love being treated like royalty. So, this year's Monash Ball brings you - Royale Escapade. It was such a magnificent evening for me, being the chairperson, more like of the proudest moment ever with attendees over 750 people.

In case you're wondering, yes.. i did hv to give a speech, in fact was the first speech of the evening, i was god damn nervous, thanks bro for giving me such encourgement..

Oh well, the day before i was very scared that things would go wrong and all, so there was a friend who told me, quoted "Nat, dont worry so much of 2mr, you put in your best in organising yr stuff, take a good nite beauty sleep and be THE celebrity of the day, as it is going to be MY night.. and no one and nth should ruin it" (thanks dear, for giving me such support, i owe u big one) coz yes, i told his words, and true enough everything went on splendidly the nite itself, despite the event starting late like 8+, and I was being wanted here and there the whole nite.... geez

Okay, let me now show you my wonderful (read:good looking) guests of the evening, come table partners a.k.a VERY GOOD friends:
