Yesterday evening, after I went for the 10 km run, I had to rush home. A quick shower and then I was off again to the 17th Installation Banquet of the Rotaract Club of Likas Bay. It was held at the May Flower Restaurant at Jalan Bundusan.

As Murphy's Law would have it, since I was already running late, there was a massive traffic jam along Jalan Bundusan. When I arrived at the restaurant, they were already enjoying the first dish. I was showed to Table 5 which was mainly occupied by Rotarians from the Likas Bay Club and their spouses.

The Guest of Honour was President of Rotary Club of Likas Bay, Chua Soon Lan. I also saw PP Robert Lai, PP Vincent Pung and PP Dr Richard Barrows in the crowd. It was quite a sizeable crowd of 10 tables, i.e. 100 people. The food was surprisingly good. It's the first time I ate there. It was quite a lot of fun getting to know other Ratarians from the other clubs.

There was a presentation from two Interactors of Kian Kok Middle School—a duet of a sentimental Chinese song. And then later on, the Likas Bay Rotaractors themselves gave a stunning performance—a dance which I thought was well-choreographed. I have the impression that Rotarian Samuel Yeh was a very happy man that night for having the opportunity to dance with such a beautiful young woman!

All in all, it was a well-organised banquet dinner. Congratulations to the new President Rtr Ester Chong and the Board of Directors. I wish her every success in the club programmes and activities during her term.
