Oktoberfest 2008...

There was a celebration of company’s Oktoberfest at Swiss Club last weekend.. and just like the way I expected it to be, there were lots of german foods (sausages, pork knuckles, roasted ox, breads, potatoes, u name it!), lots and lots of beers, coupled with bavarian-style live music and performances.. the tent could probably accommodate more than 5,000 people, there were other german companies who came to celebrate too like lufthansa and DHL.. down there in munich, the typical oktoberfest-tent (Hacker-Festzelt as they call it) could actually accommodate a lot more.. around 6 millions of people attending it in fact, definitely much more happening I reckon.. Here are some pictures we took...

The day before we're all like wondering what to wear and finally decided on "rainbow color" theme.. in the end apparently, boss' wife made the matching t-shirts for us.. these are some of us..

There were plenty of foods, guess the roasted ox hanging there explains all.. =P

And lots lots of beers!

Actually i'm not very sure the purpose of blowing this thing, some companies sent representatives and it seemed like the louder ones being cheered at while the soft ones got a boo, that's all..

The bosses and some of us

This is pretty much how the tent looks like.. and when we saw how big the crowd was, we're like nodding and "oh yea, that's what the matching t-shirts are for.."

Almost every 20 mins, the stage performers invited everybody to sing a song, which I’m not sure what it’s called (I was da-da-da-ing) made some cheers, gave toasts and drank together.. it’s probably to make the celebration more happening bcos people tend to get wild over the food.. or I guess, every time they made the cheers and toast thing, more than 300 litres of beer sold! Who knows? =P but anyway, i kinda enjoyed the whole thing, bcos I didn’t get to celebrate Oktoberfest when i was there but heard abt it from my german friends..

I'll be on my very first work-trip in a few days time till the end of october, which pretty much excited me but i guess i'm chickened out over staying alone in a hotel room... i know! don't laugh.. so, till then peeps, take care...

Ciao!
