On behalf of WGAHK, Nancy Chui, Manita So, Chris Chu and Elaine Hung joined the annual dinner of IGDS alumni held at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 11 December 2004.

The theme of the evening “Purple Night” explained the sights of many participants dressed in purple or putting on purple accessories. In an elegant purple setting and a romantic ambience, the evening began with a welcoming speech by Wingo Tang, IGDS alumni President (2003-04). Whist participants were immersed in the relaxing atmosphere and were eagerly chatting with their old and new friends, Professor Lee, Director of Studies of the IGDS programme, took the audience by surprise with his enchanting waltz steps. The entire audience further dissolved into cheer and laughter while enjoying themselves in the para para dance of IGDS alumni Paul Li, Henry Mok and Ricky Chau. Their wonderful performances were rewarded with a big round of applause.

The atmosphere climbed to another height as the beer-drinking contest started. WGAHK representative Chris beat other contestants rounds after rounds and eventually won the male section of the drinking contest. After the exciting bingo game and the long-awaited lucky draw in which many prizes were generously donated by teaching staff and alumni, the dinner came to full close and left participants with many fond memories.

Congratulations to IGDS for the tremendous success of the dinner, we wish them more accomplishments in the future!
