End of ICT Dinner

This was our fifth In-Camp as a Flight. For the past few In-Camps, we always had a dinner to celebrate the end of three weeks of toil, sweat and brotherhood. For 2007, we orginally wanted to go to a buffet at a reputable hotel. I was naive enough to suggest to everyone that the dinner would cost $30++ until Kenny reminded me that $30++ will not get anyone anywhere nowadays. As it turned out, we had dinner at Yan Palace at Hong Lim Complex. Dinner was in a private VIP room, two tables at $368++ each. Eventually, the bill came to $52 per head! But the food was good and the banter was lively; remember the you-know-what Platoon 1 and 2 saw at their deployment ground and the fellow who used precious water to wash his boots in the field? Guess you guys had more stories to share which I hope you do.

Btw, Edmund and Thomas (Pl 2 sect comd) are very good singers.

Dinner was great! Thanks to Giin Bo for organising it. As we move towards completing our ICT, our end of ICT dinner is also improving on its "Standards and Specifications" ... sounds familiar right?

Look forward to our next gathering. Lets not wait till the next ICT to meet up.

Only regret was that we had to leave by 11pm. It would have been better if the restaurant had allowed us to continue singing. Good idea to have the next gathering. Any ideas, anyone?
