Regarding our ball

Hi guys! Many of you have expressed interest in what's going to happen at the ball, and we truly appreciate it! To clear your doubts, here are what we have come up with!

And if it's still not enough, join us at the ball and enjoy the fruits of our efforts put in for the event, and most importantly, you. :)

Ticket price ($75/pax) (Ticket price may be subject to change)
We have received some feedbacks that the ticket price is rather steep, but please be assured that this is the best we can offer, having it held at a 5 star hotel. Usual price of a dinner at Interconti is $85/pax. So it really is a good deal! :)

Programmes
Pre- dinner event starts promptly at 6pm with a round of (almost) real life casino games. Experience the fun of gambling, with no real monetary transactions involved, of course. Everyone is entitled to a bag of casino chips to play with. No money out of it, but we have great prizes for you. :)

While you are not making any bets, why not keep your eyes on our roving magician and see what he is up to? Yes, he will be hanging around during pre-dinner to keep you entertained with his powers!

Our highlight of the day is a Drag Queen show. As to whom it will be, hush, it's a secret for now. ;)

Considering the response from you guys, we have decided to not include any inter-table games during the dinner. It will be a heartwarming event with lots of time spent with professors and fellow coursemates, and some dance with great music.

What's the point of dressing up with no pictures taken? Other than remembering the memories with your digital camera, let us play a part in remembering them for you! We are providing a professional, instant photo-shoot service at a cheap price! So don't forget to flash the big smile anytime during the night!

And finally, we have come up with about 20 lucky draw prizes to be won!


Now, don't hestitate. Join us for the party, as it's not everytime we get to fully appreciate one another's presence for a night. See you guys on 25 July.

When: 11,12 March (Wed, Thurs)

HSS Convocation Ball 2009

When: 25 July 2009, 730pm

What: Casino Royale themed ball, with pre-dinner casino games;
sumptuous 8 course dinner;
dance floor with wonderful music

Where: Hotel Intercontinental, Singapore
5 star Peranankan-inspired luxury hotel






How much: $75/pax (may be subject to change)

Why: Why not?
End your (possibly) last years of formal education with a blast of a good time! Dress up, deck out, and let your hair down (or tie it up, if you really want) for a night of fun before stepping into the working world. Bring a camera and prepare to flood Facebook with pictures! =)

If the price tag is stopping you, bear in mind the next time you attend a function at some fancy hotel (probably with not as many stars) might be the wedding of the primary school classmate who sat three rows in front of you and blocked your view of the blackboard. The current market dictates an ang pow with $188 (at least) in it, your name and some perfunctory blessings behind it. ;)

And my bet (pun absolutely intended) is that you won't be enjoying that one as much as you'll be enjoying this one at a fraction the price (and painfulness)!

So pass the word around, for sharing is caring! ;) Grab your tickets with your friends when they become available, for seats are limited.

The online registration will open sometime in February, so keep an eye out for the email notification/s. =)
