Those who were invited were required to wear formal and to my surprise, our CM was very simple, instead of baju melayu, he just wore a tie and long sleeve shirt. Ok, let me get back to the occasion. It started at around 9.30am, invited guests besides the VIPs, orphans from various homes, the media, were also invited for this Raya gathering. Food was abundant... there was no need to rush for the them....

Lululu: eat, eat.. jom.. makan..

ReplyDeleteAnonymous: what do u think? hehe.. the looks lasted me till dinner.. so guess yr answer..
my company also ever done something like that during hari raya, but this year cut down already due to eco crisis.. T.T
ReplyDeleteDolly: good move too.. then can also cut down some calories ma.. :)
ReplyDeleteHmph...never been to an open house, and don't intend to. It's the time you see people rushing for food like there's no tomorrow (that's what some people had experienced), and tonnes of food being wasted because of greed.
ReplyDeletewow..your raya makan makan is a BIG one wor, somemore got VVIP invited!!
