Good Steel Annual Dinner 2008

8-3-2008 Good Steel Annual Dinner at Janbo Puchong. Altogether 6 tables, and friends and guests came from all over to celebrate the joyous occasion. Good foods and certainly endless flows of drinks. However, because its election day, discussions were mainly centred on the results which seems to be a political tsunami for some elected representatives. The dinner ended at about 10pm and everybody rushed over to the evergreen Black Forests for the second session. It was certainly a very happy night, all thanks to CTY and Eunice who gracefully hosts the occasion.

Ferrous Metals Annual Dinner 2008

15-2-2008 Ferrous Metals Annual Dinner held at Restaurant Supertanker. Food, glorious foods and we had a wee too much of such good foods, but then again that the spirit of Chinese New Year. Dinner was hosted by KS and the three swordsmen with free flows of wines and Gordon Bleu. The foods served were simply delicious, a tart too rich for the belly. The three swordsmen certainly made sure all the guests had sufficient drinks and the ambience was certainly joyous and merry. Again guests from as far as JB, Penang and Kuching attended the occassion. As many refused to leave after the last course was served, remaining guests were treated to more drinks at "Perfume" pub and the final session ended at "old folks home" the legendary Black Forests.

AM Metals Annual Dinner 2008

2-2-2008 Johor Bahru AMMSC Annual Dinner held at Grand Straits Garden. The food served was sumptous and hospitality by the hosts were beyond expectation. Though originally planned for dinner but due to overhelming demand for restaurants, an annual lunch was hosted. While it may be a lunch, the foods served was exceptionally good and that was later followed by a karaoke session held at the most exclusive club in Johor Bahru. The guests were their customers, suppliers and friends as well as colleagues which came from KL, Penang and Kuching. Congratulations to AMMSC for the great effort and hospitality extended.

Despite loosing her voice from serious cough, the ever graceful TSK still hosted us to the most luxurious karaoke in Johor Bahru and the session ended at a disco later. Thanks to AMMSC.

Goh's Farewell Dinner

28-9-2007 - Dinner was held bidding farewell to our good friend and colleague, Mr Goh, who has loyally served Ferrous Metals Sdn Bhd for more than five years. The dinner promptly started at 7pm, held at a restaurant in SS2, PJ. Friends and colleagues from Penang and Johor joined in to bid farewell to the beloved Goh who intended to start a business on his own. It was a lovely dinner, but finished a bit too fast as everyone were rushing off to the next session of beers and karaoke held at Armada Hotel.

30 jugs of beers were polished off in an hour, imagine how thirsty they were. There were just too many talented singers. After that more whiskies were ordered to keep the occassion merry. However, there was emotional moments too, but the memories were sweet. To Goh our friend, we wish you all the best in your new endeavour. All the best.

Alupanorama - 10th Anniversary Bash

On 12th day of October 2007, Alupanorama Group held their 10th Anniversary Bash. Group founders and directors Mr Kelvin Sie, Ms Ng Yen Ling and Ms Too Siew Kean were on hands to welcome customers, suppliers, members of respective families and close friends, at the ballroom of the Oriental Restaurant at Jaya33. Also seen at the function were the partners of their subsidiaries, namely Mr TY Chia, Ms Eunice Chia, Mr Daniel Teoh and Mr and Mrs Hoh. Their exquisite Chinese fine dining cuisine, free flow of premium liquors and great wines, plus the merry crowds made the occasion more joyous. The celebrating bash was held in conjunction with the birthday celebration of their senior partner, Mr Kelvin Sie, whose vision and leadership has led to the rapid growth of the group within such short period. The group has grown within leaps and bounds, having established subsidiaries in all parts of Malaysia as well as Thailand and they are presently eyeing the Philippines market. May we all wish Alupanorama Group, "Ten Great Years and more great 10s".

The highlight event for the night was the cake cutting ceremony by all the partners, led by Mr Kelvin Sie, and after much cheers and many toasts, birthday song was sung to wish the "Man of the Night". Whilst Mr Kevin Sie did not present any speech, his provoking thoughts, vision and words of thanks was well written and presented in an appreciation note which was handed out for all to share. A copy of the document will be posted later for all to enjoy.

Their hard work and close relationship can be best summarised by the following emotional speech, delivered by an equally emotional Ms Ng Yen Ling:

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, fellow partners, colleagues and friends,

It has been a great 10 years. I am not a good speaker, so kindly bear with me for the next few minutes to allow me the opportunity to "bore" you, as I wish to speak from my heart to offer my heartfelt thanks.

First and foremost, the thanks go to our great leader, Mr Kelvin Sie, whose vision, hard work and dedication (with the constant nagging of course), has brought us to what we are today. Despite him being at times harsh and being blunt to the point, at times which brought tears to my eyes, I must still say “Mr Kelvin, thank you, for if you have not given me the opportunity to join you 10 years ago, I will not have ever, ever dream of standing before this crowd to give this thanksgiving speech. While you may be hard and tough, I am no saint either. I sincerely apologise if I do hurt your feeling’.

Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues and friends, lets stand and join me to give a round of applause to our great partner and friend, Mr Kelvin Sie.

Second, I wish to pay tribute to all my partners, Ms Sk Too, Mr TY Chia, Ms Eunice Chia, Mr Daniel Teoh and not forgetting Mr and Mrs Hoh, "All of you have been a great team. Despite our sometimes unknowing differences, and ups and down, like the "see saw", the vision of the leader, Mr Kelvin Sie, and the group must come first. Let me be the first to offer my apologies, sincerely from my heart, for any harsh words that I may have consciously or unconsciously said. I am sorry, lets forgive and forget, and lets work towards another 10 great years, okay".

Ladies and gentlemen and friends, a round of applause for my partners please.

Third, my sincere thanks to my fellow colleagues and staff. "If my harsh words hurt your feeling, I am sorry again; your dedications are what we are today. Let’s drink and be merry, (of course allow me to finish my speech first), my word of advice is, Play hard, but Work just as hard".

Lastly, to all my fellow friends, "You have been a great support. Your kind words and advice have help to make me a better person, and I shall work towards that direction".

If I go on any longer, half of you will have fallen asleep, so let me end my speech with a very big THANK YOU.
