Vacheron Constantine

It's the Vacheron Constantine Dinner! I have to be honest. At first, I wasn't expecting to have a lot of fun there.

But to my surprise, it was interesting.It was held at the Four Seasons Ballroom. I loved the high tech setting on the wall and the long table reminded me of the dinner I had in France. VC's models wearing VC watches,VC Swiss hospitality and the Four Seasons' food made my night memorable. Not bad,not bad at all.

Most of all, it's the company that counts. I got to catch up with a senior hot babe of mine, Miss Malaysia. She taught me a lot. When I saw her face plastered all over the MTR stations in HK,I felt like crying. So happy for her!
