We are back in a zipp .....
Now, you can't go wrong when you have food, games, prizes, and we even throw in a tiara and crown !
ESSB celebrated the dual auspicious occasions of the Aidil Fitri and Independence Day on 30th August recently. Yes, regardless of your political choices, this land of fortune did no wrong. We are all here 'cari makan or cari rezeki' - so this land provides us with opportunities and for us to prosper. Honor thy country, and the country will honor you in return.
Coming back to the dual celebrations, we decided to gather everyone at the HQ for a merriment. Pot-luck was the concept for the gathering. The main organizer was kinda worried about whether there will be enough food to feed those hungry mouths when we saw initial lukewarm responses from the respective departments. But our prayers answered when there were plenty very delicious food which everyone can go for even the third takings. So bless with our generosity and the wise man says 'sikit-sikit boleh jadi bukit' materializes this quote. Well it was a simple gathering - nothing upscale, uberlicious nor even luxe, but the energy .... you gotta to be here to feel it. The smiles, the smell of foods, the enthusiastic, the sight of pretty lasses and obedient gentlemen mingling, chatting, chilling in the most well-behaved social manner without compromising the fun and the festive cheers.
Ok, I know, I went overboard with my writing again, so let's take a look at those pictures as picture reveals a thousand words (so why am I wasting words here). And thanks to the cameraman for the day, our Senior Finance Manager, SK Lai. Enjoy the show .......
