Temple Dinner @ Charn Mao Hern Kew Huang Keng (葱茅园九龙皇诚敬会)

12 October 2008

Charn Mao Hern Kew Huang Keng (葱茅园九龙皇宫) hosted a temple dinner and invited Eunos CC, so I tagged along and attended this wonderful dinner.

Lanterns covered the ceilings at the temple, illuminating the temple and giving it a grand look.

The emcee for the event is Lin Ruping (林如苹), a veteran Getai host as well as a TV actress. Singers presented their vocal beauty before the auction was held.

A large portion of the auction items were wine. There were 2 special items - a lion dance figurine and a dragon dance figurine. The money generated from the auction for these two items will be used to fund the respective groups for their coming competition. The price went to more than S$3,000. I felt puzzled when a red packet, containing lottery tickets, had its auction price upped above $1k!

After the auction, Ah Nan (阿南), Wang Lei (王雷) and Lin Ruping dominated the stage with their humorous performance and songs. They derived some jokes out of the death of Lin Li (林利) in a way that generated cheers and applause. Managed to record a video through my mobile phone, a song they sung together with another Malaysian singer.



The last performer was a very young girl who sang a song from the movie "Money no Enough 2", which I have yet found out the title. Nice rendition of the song though.

Earlier in the day, saw a funny scene. This photographer took a long time to get his desired shot of the CCTV camera. The battle of the lenses:
