danzduddies May 14th Line Dance Party

Saturday 14th May 2011

It was time again for our monthly LD Party at Tanglin CC as more than 100 danzbuddies and friends gathered for the "Rock 'N' Roll with Elvis" themed party.


The party hosts bidded a warm welcome to the line dancers and soon had everyone dancing away..........

Many of the "Elvis Wannabes" lost no time in having their photos taken at the "Elvis Corner".

Every one on the dance floor happily enjoyed the many great dances featured in the dance list..........






Dinner time came and our F&B volunteers got ready to serve various items from the buffet table to the dancers

The free flow of hot and cold beverages was most appreciated, as usual........

After dinner it was time for more dancing - some took advantage of the many Rock 'N' Roll songs to show off their Rock 'N' Roll moves - a few others were game enough to take part in the

"Limbo Rock Championship".........

It was nice to see everyone enjoying the great food and good company - once again we thank all danzbuddies for the great support of the party

Our grateful appreciation to all those who helped man the buffet line and providing such excellent dinner service

Thanks once again to Alan for taking all the photographs for this blog posting.......

Thanks to our DJs on duty - Maizie, Mei and Tang..................




REMINDER - our June party will be held on 11th June - we shall be celebrating the "Dumpling Festival" with an 'Oriental Dress " theme.....

Visit to Chinatown with Kelvin - Home for Vacation

Sunday, 8th May 2011

We went for dinner and a short walk around Chinatown with Kelvin who is home from Orlando for a short vacation. The Lion Dance troupe was waiting for us when we arrived - what a surprise ! But then no - 'I stand corrected', they were actually waiting for the MM and his fellow Tanjong Pagar GRC MPs who were coming for a 'Thank You for Voting For Us' tour of the area .

We dropped by the famous "Tai Chong Kok" Traditional Bakery for some mooncakes and 'tau sar peah'......

and ended up at the 'King of the Kings Durian' Stall to get a 'Mountain Cat' durian - we got only one and coughed up $35 for it. But then back home, when we were tucking into the 'mao shan wang mini durain feast' - it was agreed - the amount paid for it was worth it....!
