PMPS Dinner and Dance 2005

My new name. From now on, i shall be known as such. The PMPS seems to think i qualify, so the rest of you should sit on your objections.

Had fun at the dinner, the food was really nice. It's funny how meaty sea food tastes like chicken. Had what i was later told was shark's fin soup, i thought it was chicken broth. Had a kinda rendang thing, thought it was chicken.

Doctors seem to have a sense of humour after all. There were a number of jokers about the room, among them being the D-G of Health and my dad's friend who happened to sit next to me. He bullied me with jokes at first, but i got back at him when he dared me to call a Malay girl who works at the Shangri-La as some Desk Manager, and i actually did with his phone till he snatched it back from me. I wonder if she returned the call.

The D-G had a number of jokes and mimics to do, mostly of primary politicians in our country, 1 of whom has already hung up his boots. Some of the mimicry was too close for comfort, there might be a knocking upon his door sometime in the near future.

There was also this guy who came up on stage, Helmi the Gimmick. I think they meant Mimic, as he did more mimicry than being much of a gimmick. He did more of what the D-G did, but this guy added his own touch to it, adding a little taboo into the mix. Then he changed into a Chinese costume, something Jet Li would have worn in his Wong Fei Hong(is that how you spell it?) movies, complete with the pony tail. He did his bit there, and moved on to woo the Indian crowd. Here he noticed the noise created by Dr. Jitendra, the one earlier mentioned as sitting next to me. Of course Indian songs can't be done by one person, so he had Jit act as a hero, got a 60+ year old lady to act as the heroine. I've been trying to get the picture that goes with this part to appear here, but it's not happening, so i'll just leave it for now. Anyway, his advances were met with an equal and opposite force, and thus she remained sitting at her table. Of course, this woman was his wife, sitting 2 places from me, so his heroics are well-captured on film. Anyway, that was that, and Helmi moved on to his Malay parody, of course portraying the typical MB, tada budget, tada budget... that sorta thing.

Hmm.. kinda lost my train of thought here, check back later when i got it going again... till then, ciao.
