Celebrating US Independence Day on red Carpet

in #independence6 years ago
Last Thursday was kinda exciting day for me and @kilathecla. We were invited to attend the USA 242th Independance day at Le Meridian, Kota Kinabalu. It was such a grand yet simple event.

It felt like you're such an important guess when we were greeted in like a VIP and walked on a red carpet. At the end of the red carpet, we got the chance to greet the Ministry of Defence and took photo with Her excellency US Ambassador Kamala Shirin Lakhdhir.

It was such a crowded floor. The formal event started with Her excellency came to the stage with Sabah Tourism Minister, YB Chiristina Liew, followed by singging of Malaysia National anthem and the USA National anthem by Ms. Gabrielle Stravelli. Next, was the speech from Her excellency US Ambassador Kamala Shirin followed by a video presentation on her activities during her visit in Sabah.

Unlike the previous year where a group of Navy boys band performing on stage, this time there was a live Jazz band with one truly wonderful vocal lady singer, Gabrielle Stravelli.

I and @kilathecla mingled and enjoyed the food and good wines served. There were so many familiar VIP faces and they're all very friendly. I even saw @emmanuelnukchee but didn't got the chance to greet him.

Before going back, we did take few of the glorious donuts from Dunkin Donuts which is given for free to attendees. It was a wonderful event, but my feet hurts for standing three hours in row on high heels...LOL..

Just like the previous year, the event was served in hightea style. People have to walk around talk to each other, networking and enjoy the food and music.

The event scheduled to end at about 10pm, so we went back earlier. At the entrance there were goodies for everyone..yeah.

Thanks US Embassy...please invite us again next year!
