During my core leave I received a message bearing good news. Shikko said that there was a lottery for the HSBC Thanksgiving x Christmas party and we were among the lucky ones who were picked to attend it. Since our department doesn't have a counterpart in India, we can't just skip a work day to attend the party. I was pretty stoked because I knew that it was gonna be another grand event. I almost gave up on the idea of attending it because we work Thursdays and I was out of leave credits. When I was shown the itinerary for the party, I told the people I was going with that we had to be there early. I didn't want to deal with long lines and I wanted to try everything the party had to offer.
So Shikko, Jammi and I arrived at The PICC Tent around 7:30 (party was from 7pm to 3am), registered and went inside right away. It was air conditioned! That alone made my night. No stinky, sweaty, icky people. We were greeted by models and camera men/women.
The place was freaking awesome. It was divided into three areas and everything was free. The game room. The Club. The dining/lounge area. We headed straight to the game room and played a couple of games before heading to the dining area. By the time we finished with dinner, the place was almost packed. We picked a spot on the right side of the club area and stayed there for the rest of the night. Since getting drinks from the bar took forever, I called a server and gave him some money. I told him to take care of us and he sure did. The cocktails kept on flowing as we were joined by people from another department. VAC people, you are the best! Thanks for getting crazy with us. The night would've sucked if I was stuck with Shikko and Jammi. Sorry boys. I'm just saying. Ha ha.
From hanging out with new friends to witnessing Jano curse to the sky (dude's a lightweight and got his cellphone jacked), it was surely a fun filled event and one of the grandest I've been to (and I've been to a lot). Too bad I didn't win any of the raffled items (3G iPhone, iPods, PSPs, digi cams).
On with the photos and the vids.
