Christmas Dinner, Magic show and Carolling

Yesterday, I had an enjoyable evening with my friends, Joan and Ann in the Grand Ballroom of Quality Hotel (@ Balestier Road). The Christmas Dinner ($25 per person) was part of CARE (Catholic Aids Response Effort) to raise funds for their recipients and projects. CARE is the only half-way house/shelter for HIV/AIDS sufferers who have nowhere to go and is planning to provide pastoral care and support and education services.

We joined about more than 100 people for a nice buffet dinner (yummy spaghetti, beef stew, log cake, etc), interesting Magic show (not like David Copperfield but Erico the Magician made us laugh with his jokes and tricks) and beautiful singing of familar Christmas carols by the Voices for Christ choir. All of us also got to sing along with the choir for a few songs and I'm sure everyone left for home with a smile :>
