December is a significant month for many. It marks the end of a year well spent, as well as a season of giving in the Christmas spirit. For those at Early Autism Project Malaysia, it also means a dinner celebration is in order.
This year we feasted at Silver Spoon, Publika. Therapists and consultants rocked up in their dazzling attire fit for a ball. Dinner began with a short ice breaker hosted by our very entertaining emcee duo, Chloe and Jerusha. The games continued throughout the night while we each made several trips to refill our platters at buffet counter in between.
Dancing seemed to be the running theme and all three groups gave it their best at competing to claim the winning title. The judges for the night were none other than our three restaurant hosts, the head chef and his assistant, and of course the restaurant manager. With only 10 minutes to plan, each group was required to choreograph to an upbeat Christmas carol by Alvin and The Chipmunks. Many a creative thought was thrown into the cauldron of ideas and we pulled it off with much absurdity and peals of laughter.
The night then proceeded with a surprise appreciation video for our Director Jochebed, to which she gave a heartwarming speech of gratitude for what we've all accomplished as a company thus far. Certificates of recognition were given to each group of therapists and outstanding individuals for their excellence and hard work put into making a difference in the lives of our children.
The Guardian Angels were also revealed through a final gift exchange between "Angel" and "Mortal". Many were able to guess who their Guardian Angel had been throughout the past month, and others who couldn't, were truly surprised to discover the truth. Presents slowly dwindled from under the Christmas Tree and into the hands of happy Mortals on the receiving end.
We ended the night with full tummies, way too many photos, and tresured memories to last a lifetime. And now, on to a brand new year just around the corner!
More photos to come on Facebook soon!
