A new year has begun and what better way to celebrate it than the usual traditional Chinese 8 course dinner feast. The Lunar New Year Celebration dinner this year was co-organized by NUSEA, SABA and SGConnect at the Dynasty Restaurant in Cupertino. Held at a classy Chinese restaurant, the night was set for good food, great company, and an excellent line-up of entertainment.

NUSEA’s role was to encourage and rally Singaporean student bodies from colleges around the bay area, to join in this celebration and participate in the programs for the evening. We coordinated the programs for the evening and hosted the entire show. The night began with a well choreographed Fashion Show which featured clothes of oriental design, by Lan Vie, and shoes from our very own Singaporean Designer Nora Haron. Modeling and also a guest for the evening was Miss Asian American Queen, Jennifer Fields. Throughout the evening we had performances from the Stanford, Berkeley and NUSEA students in a mini Talent Competition. From NUSEA, Bernard and Sophia played and sang 关怀方式 <Guan Huai Fang Shi>, to the 450 strong turn-out.

The dinner not only allowed us to see the greater Singaporean community at large, but also allowed us to savor traditional Chinese dishes only served during the Chinese New Year. We even had Yu Sheng! It all ended well with an enthusiastic lion dance, much to the amusement of the many kids present. It was indeed an evening to remember.
