WEBS was appointed by the Sandakan Indian Association as their event consultant for their 25th Anniversary Dinner, which was held on the 12th of October 2009. After a month of plannings, the WEBS team flew to Sandakan on the 8th. Upon arriving, instead of a short sightseeing, we headed straight to Sandakan Hakka Hall (in Taman Tyng) to assess the location. Later we were briefed by Ms Jocelyn Lee of SIA on the arrangements for the event (caterers, tables & chairs, souvenirs, total invitees, etc) and the the Association's preference for their event setup.
E-Day (E - event). WEBS started out as early 8.30am at the hall. Weather was perfect that day. Most of the setup was done around 4pm. The main highlight for of the hall were the VIP table (Dtk. Peter Pang, Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah & Wife). Lot of sweats poured, but our minds were focussed, because this is the very first time WEBS involved in such event (mind us, we're so used to weddings ;)). Alas, by the end of the evening, our hosts told us that their VIPs were so happy with the event, and some are even impressed with our setup!
Regardless the time constraint, we still managed to snap some pictures of the hall (pre and after setup). This event was a very tiring one as WEBS was only given a month to come with the concept setup. We would to extend our appreciation to the local caterers (ADZIE and Mr. Sadhar) for their wonderful foods (love the teh tarik). Now, bhangra dance anyone?
