SNC Retreat

The organisation of the Annual Grassroots Organisation's retreat this year has been decentralised to the GROs level. Some took the opportunity to hold it abroad (in Batam), others held it closer to home at resorts or just at the CC. Serangoon NC held theirs at the Serangoon Gardens Country Club (SGCC). It started with a lunch followed by a review of 2007 activities and charting of workplan activities for 2008. Once the serious stuff was over, the GRLs proceeded to the Karaoka Room to blast away.
Thomas Tan (President of SGCC) open the session by stating that there are 3 groups of people who goes for Karaoka. The group that CAN SING, the group that CAN'T SING and the group that THINKS THAT THEY CAN SING. It was up to the rest to decide which category they falls under.
Margaret of course had a field day. Singing both within the designated room as well as the larger hall outside, picking all the hot/fast numbers. Whilst most attempted English Songs, a couple of Chinese and Hokkien numbers were also attempted. It was really a test for the ear-drums by the evening.
Whilst Edward & Serene attempted a duet; Saleem, Nick and Randy happily keyed in whatever songs that comes to their mind, Margaret took on most of the numbers complete with twist and turns, amidst the narrow space of the Karaoka Room whilst Kim Boon, Sally and John silently watch in amusement. The day ended with a BBQ Session.
