Showdown Of Champions 2010, A Night Of Aces Gala Dinner

Little did I know that I was in for a very big surprise when I received a message from Christina at 6.13pm.

I was playing Sims, as usual when I received a message. It was from Chris. She said to call her because she needs to talk to me. So I did and the first thing she asked me was 'are you free tonight?' Thoughts started running through my mind. Is this another last minute outing? Apparently not. She asked me whether I could attend a dinner at 7.45pm beacuse Jay Sean would be there. She explained about how Semreeta got an extra free ticket and she asked whether I would like to come. Obviously, I was excited. Not only did I get to see Jay Sean but I got to have dinner there, free. LOL, just joking. I'm not that greedy. She also offered to pick me up. So I called my parents who were at work and they agreed.

The venue was at Double Tree Hilton. When we arrived there, we immediately felt awkward. We were the only kids there and when we entered the ballroom, everyone was staring at us like 'who are they and what are they doing here?' Eek! And I was wearing a pink dress while everyone else are wearing black and mostly dark colours. I only spotted one lady who was wearing pink but she looked fine and confident. A lady led us to a nearby table and we sat there. Me, Christina and her brother. Apparently, some tennis stars were also going to attend the dinner. Anna Kournikova, Pat Cash and some others.

Appetizers came first, followed by soup. Then we were served some type of fish and for main course, lamb. A dish came later which I suppose were desserts. The last dish was chocolates. For a person who don't really fancy chocolate, I only took the white one. The only white one. Semreeta came later on so we were left at the table all by ourselves while we slowly ate our appetizer and drank our soup. As a matter of fact, Jay Sean didn't turn up at all. By time I arrived home, it was about 11.

Yeah, yeah, I apologize for not giving a full report. The dinner wasn't really fun at all considering I didn't know much about tennis. So everytime Chris went up for an autograph or a picture, I would ask 'who was that?'. Honestly, I think the only part I enjoyed was the food. It was okay, though some dishes tasted weird. Like the 'thing' in the soup. Watch out, pictures are below. If you know tennis, than you probably would know who that beautiful blonde player is.


Hehe, a random picture of Chris and I at yesterday's dinner.


Sorry I couldn't get any other pictures. I didn't know who the other players were. Therefore, I didn't take a picture with them.
