Now dance!

Friday night saw me attend the annual dinner and dance for the office here. I really didn't know what to expect, but I was certainly surprised. For the mathematically inclined, here a a few surprising statistics.

• 880! There were that many people in attendence. Huge.


• 35! My best guess as to how manny lucky door prizes there were.


• 1500! How much SGD cash was the first prize. No lucky numbers on our table unfortunately.


• 8! The number of courses in our chinese banquet.





• 4! The number of hilarious songs inlcuded in this year's skit. My favourite was about the time reports: I hear that any missing records larger than 3 periods will impact your performance!


• 30! How many seconds my flatmate was asked to dance sexily behind a shadow screen on stage in order to win a prize. I was gobsmacked that this was considered an appropriate game. She was gobsmacked that we all nominated her for it (we didn't know what it involved until she was already on stage)


• 60! This is how many people stayed after the lucky door prizes had all been drawn. We danced away to YMCA and other classics till we were moved on.


• 71! The number of the floor New Asia Bar is located on. Very cool view.


• 280! The price (SGD) of a bottle of spirits at this bar. Lucky one of partners was buying drinks.


• 5! The wee hour of the morning that I got home. A huge achievement for me not to go home at pumpkin hour, let along last till 5am!

Beats the pants off the Sydney Christmas party.
