Diamonds Are Forever...

Diamonds are forever was the theme for this year's OGA dinner. I wanted to wear what Jill St John wore in the James Bond movie but then we were forewarned of the dress code : nothing revealing. So I had to leave my diamond encrusted bikini at home and be happy wearing the Abayyah (sp?) Chique sent me from Doha. Unfortunately because beloved hubby bought batteries not suitable for my P&S camera, I only managed to capture a few photos before the camera decided to lose all power

Anyway, the menu was as follows; Cream of asparagus with croutons, Fish ( I forget what, but I think it was Bass) on a bed of oven baked pepper with some sauce (again I forget) and walnut parfait with banana chocolate roll with chocolate sauce followed by coffee or tea.


Above is the dessert. Totally forgot about taking photo of the courses before. Was too hungry. I had an extra bowl of soup, courtesy of Hawk who couldn't make it. Frankly, the food was ok, only that it was standing too long and what is supposed to be hot or at least warm was cold and the dessert was already room temperature. Anyway, still managed to eat everything and served myself some tea after that.

I sat with Awatif, Gie, Ina, Lila (Happy Anniversary!), Donie, Hawk (absent), Amalina, Fiddie and Sura at table 61, one table behind the Royal table.


Madame Awatif sat besides me and I managed to capture her beauty (and the size of that bracelet) on my camera. :-)

Dr Gieto was my next victim. She was sitting besides Madame Awatif. As usual her sweet smile was glittery enough.

Dr Ina was another story. Look at that necklace! Humbly she says it's her mother's. Yeah and my lips look like Amber Chia's!

Ni dia Madame Fiddie and Madame Didie. Both looking resplendent. Yes, Fiddie I still remember I owe you a cake! ;-)

Last but not the least is our own DIVA....DIVA ZURA with Julita Ilhani our Lawyer from Kuantan. Diva Zura stole the limelight from all the glittery diamonds with her beautiful rendition of 'Diamonds are Forever' ala Shirley Bassey. Bravo Zura! Semua lagu you nyanyi sedap-sedap and you looked fantastic. I rasa I yang jerit paling kuat kot...

And, unfortunately, after that my camera went kaput. Couldn't capture proof of Sarah, Filzah, Mok, and Julit's lepas gian!

It was a good night and hope to go again for next years dinner!
