Crazy Rich Asians (Dinner & Dance @ Park Royal Hotel)

We had our company annual dinner & dance at the Park Royal Hotel on Beach Road last January 26. The theme was Crazy Rich Asians and came with a typical Chinese wedding 10 course dinner and Chinese New Year stuff like lo hei salad tossing and a lion dance.

There was a program that included games, office funniest videos contest, best dressed contest which included modelling, and the usual speeches. They gave out a lot of prizes and I ended up getting quite a few ang baos.

Outfit breakdown:

• Red off shoulder lace swing dress – from Retro Stage. They do free shipping worldwide but it takes time, so order way in advance.
• Statement crystal necklace with velvet bow – secondhand buy from Carousell.
• Shoes that look like Valentino rockstud heels – a shoe shop from Far East Plaza, whose name I unfortunately forgot. It’s somewhere on the third floor, I think, near the escalators
• Makeup – a free makeover from Sephora if you buy $100 worth of products. The makeup artist was really good and she used really great brands like Hourglass for my primer and base, Anastasia for my brows and eyes, and Huda Beauty for my lips. The makeup lasted the whole night.

There were also a couple of photo booths set up in the hall.

Overall, it was one of our more enjoyable annual office D&Ds.
