I attended the PIKOM Sabah Chapter Installation Banquet last night.
PIKOM is basically the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) vendors' association in Malaysia.
For us, the "man-in-the-street" types, PIKOM was familiar only for the PC fairs organised a few times each year. The Sabah Chapter for this organisation had just been formed and this was the first committee (2011 - 2013).
Hey, I knew the Treasurer / MC for the night. We went to
Monkwearmouth College (we rather naughtily called it MonkeyHouse) in Sunderland almost 40 years ago!
The Committee for 2011 - 2013.
Whoa! I didn't know that the Chapter Chairman (my uncle) gets a Chain of Office! The Federal Minister and The State Minister (with ICT responsibilities) are to the right of the photo.
Entertainment was by The Summer Grace Sisters (
Feng Cai Jie Mei). I knew nothing about their act.
My "taste" in music were still the oldies from the 50s to the 70s. They did some english songs from those eras.
There was a fella singing as well. I had seen his face on the AEC channel on Astro, but had no idea who he was.
There was a dance with some gold-coloured flags being waved about ...
... and a sketch about Bollywood movies & dances ... plus some malay songs (1Malaysia lah!). All in all, I had an enjoyable night & dinner with my relatives at the same table.
