Tropical Paradise
(Annual Dinner 2004)

St. Mary's Choir celebrated her 18th Anniversary at "M" Hotel on 21 Feb 2004. The party was themed "Tropical Paradise" and funky beachwear was the preferred gear for the night! Some, like David and Dan, took the opportunity to trot about barefooted in the function room.

Fr. Aloysius turned up with Fr. Augustine, in his "Dragon Boat" T-Shirt, bright blue berms and matching beach sandals. Looking like a true blue beach bum, he won the coveted "Best Dressed" award with little difficulty.

There were also some ladies who couldn't decide how much or how little to wear. The solution? Wear skimpy stuff and cover up with a sarong! If the night gets any hotter, they'll be ready to rock and roll with their bikinis and beach shorts (after the Fathers say their goodnights of course. ;P)

The rest of the night got everyone rolling over in laughter as a result of the Supreme Secretary's evil plans. Four groups were each given a children's fairy tale and told to perform a little skit with it. The catch... everything has to be sung, even the narration! You should have seen the poor tortured look on the faces of the "M" hotel waiters.
