Our venue overlooked Victoria Park where a Lunar New Year Fair was in full swing.
Our hosts were Barbara and Jenkin.
Just a few of the HK team.
Janet was sporting her Chinese jacket. We went shopping together in Li Yeung Street Market the weekend before and found a treasure trove of beautiful items. I think we did quite well.
With the dress theme being Chinese, we were each given a pair of stickers to vote for the best dressed man and woman. Can you guess who won?
After another wonderful banquet, the games were set to begin. Team captains were chosen.
And strategy sessions began.
The games were patterned off of Minute to Win It. There was the cup stacking challenge.
The hangar balancing game.
And my favorite was moving a cotton ball from one end of the table to the other using only your nose and some shaving cream.
The final game was using play dough to sculpt an item. The first person sees the word and builds it. The second, third and fourth each build off of the one before without seeing the earlier ones or the word. The last person guesses.
The funniest part of this task was the fact that when the category small appliances was announced, Janet's team started to strategize. Someone said the hardest thing would be a rice cooker. Well as luck would have it that is the item they got. But in a funny off hand remark Janet said, "Anything with a handle on top will be a rice cooker." Almost doesn't seem fair.
Lucky Draws were done and awards for service handed out. There was one last surprise item on the agenda.
What a wonderful surprise and how great to celebrate with the people who have made my life so fulfilling these past two years. For many it would be my last chance to say my thank you's and goodbyes. I am grateful for the opportunity.
