Write-Up: Christmas Tree Light Up, Seri Pacific Hotel KL

Seri Pacific Hotel Kuala Lumpur began its Christmas celebration with the Christmas Tree Light Up Ceremony. It was an event filled with much anticipation, joy, & laughter, as the in-house guests & corporate clients gathered for this special event.

The entire day of 6th December 2012 was lined up with activities to usher the season of Christmas. I was invited to witness the Christmas Tree Light Up as well as enjoy the rendition of songs by several children groups & adults. Guests were also served an array of delicious seafood canapes, mini burgers, prawn avocado salsa, deep-fried mushrooms with cream-cheese & also some roast chicken with mushroom sauce.

The ceremony began with a speech by the hotel's General Manager, Mohamad Halim Merican, followed by a speech by the COO of World Vision, Mr Liew Tong Ngan. After both the speeches, the guests were mesmerized by the appearance of Malaysian singer-song writer, Francissca Peter, who is also the ambassador for the International Aid Organization World Vision in Malaysia since year 2004. After the song by Francissca, she went up ahead to the tree to perform the much-awaited activity of the evening's event - lighting up of the Christmas tree (by just hanging her greeting card for World Vision on the tree!).

As I'll be leaving for a week-long camp in a couple of hours, I hope you've enjoyed looking at some of the photos taken at the event as well as reading the rather short write-up! I'll be back with some more posts before the year ends.

Have a great December & Happy 12.12.12 everyone!

It's the season of joy,
