Unforgetable night at Venice Ball by PGD students @ Swiss Hotel Management School, Switzerland

08:33

It been quite a while since i blog about my college... I think is time to continue with that topic...

SHMS is not all about study... study.... study....projects....projects....projects... There also give students a chance to try and organize small little banquet maybe around 60 pax (mixture of teachers, sponsors and students) ... In your Year 2 studies whereby you are studying for your Swiss Diploma in Hotel Operation Management , there is a subject called "Banqueting and Events" where your lecturer will ask you to host your own (the whole class and not yourself only) banquet... Of course there are guidelines to help you out, and you guys have to work in teams  ( like the organisation of a hotel... accounting department, entertainment department, decor department , F&B department etc) to make your class banquet a success... It is important as it is part of your grade for that subject... Therefore, you guys gotta really work it out among each other !!!!!!! Finding sponsors to buy the materials needed or asking them to loan you the materials etc... Every week you got to report back to your lecturer and inform him about the progress etc...

Best part of all, you guys (you and your classmates) get a chance to vote and select the theme of the banquet...

Following are example of banquet that was held before:
Arabian night
New Orleans
Golden Globes Award
Fashion show
Chinatown
Venice Ball

If you are taking a PGD or PGDM course in SHMS, no worries.. you have that subject as well.... ^^

Anyway, during my 3rd and final year in college, I am very lucky because I got invited to attend the "Venice Ball" organise by the PGD and PGDM students.... I am able to bring one lucky companion as well... ^^

Invitation card with nice looking napkin beside it
 Banquet start at 7pm, get ready by 5.30pm..... and wait for my lucky companion.... ^^ Hehehe ^^

My lucky Companion--->> Sunny from Vietnam
This is like some friendship test thing.... why?? I can only bring one lucky companion and the best part is you don't have only one friend in one place right?? You will always have plenty of friends right??? That the dilemma .... have to think who to bring... and not hurt the rest of your friend... I went through it and i feel really really seriously bad for the rest of my buddy..... Some of them never got a chance to go to a banquet even though they study there for 3 years... But life have to go on!!!!

Me at the aperitif counters... all hand made by students ^^ Love the effort...
Oh ya.. Realize I am wearing a mask... My best buddy in school Momo from China gave it to me... We got identical mask actually.... Hers is red and mine was blue... She got it in Venice during her trip to Venice last time... Thank you so much, Momo !!!!

Non alcoholic drink.... Rouge...meaning red....
Caprese Salad... 2 slice of Tomato and a piece of Buffalo Mozzarela.... Very Italian
Mixture of Brown Sugar, Orange Juice and Campari.... Yummy!!!!
Large crowd arriving... Alumni peoples, students and teachers...
Nomming down finger food...
Male Escort for Venice Ball with Sunny...
I got a female escort instead.... Lol....

After tons of camwhoring..... is time for all "Royalty" to enter the ball.... LOL... I just created it...

Do they remind you of the fella on the Gondola ???
Love the decor.... Suit the Grand Hall a lot
This is the Grand Hall.... where students use it for banquet events, International Day, Spring Ball and last but not lease, exam.... hehe ^^

Cute table setting... haha ^^
Me with invitation...
Menu of the night.... Cant wait to start nomming... I warm up my stomach already with breads... LOL
Handsome Banquet Manager giving his welcome speech...
Sunny and me...
Gotta place our food order.... for the starter and main course... Can't wait to start my night....

Soon the starter arrived...

Bigoli in salsa
"Bigoli" pasta still have its texture... not too overcooked... I dont like soft pasta... Tuna and onion are a mix mushy.... I prefer it to be a bit drier...  But the combination is real good... Look like a HUGE portion right?? But it is just nice... Cherry tomato added some "OHM" to it...

After my starter, sipping white wine while waiting for my main course...

Enjoy the performance by the PGD....

Where my main????
Dance performance.....
A group of us......
Waiting for the main.....
That what happen when u get hungrier....
Anitra alla Veneziana
Sunny being posh....
To be honest, everyone waited for a really long time for their main course... And at least, the main course wasnt that bad... The duck was moist and it really goes well with the Orange sauce... Not like the normal tough meat we are use to eating... Plenty of sauce to eat with it as well..... The boil potato and broccoli is ok... Just that the portion of the vege I think is a little too little.. don't you think???

Tiramisu...
My fav dessert ever... Tiramisu.... I heard that is quite hard to make a good Tiramisu... And the standard of theirs was just ok..... As you can see... Cream is more than the coffee part... But it is still ok... Anyway, it is a good try already.... Hehehe...

Dessert is girls best friend ^^
The whole PGD team presenting themself to us.... Hurray to them!!!!!
My pretty room mate with me...... Love ya!!!!

It was a memorable night..... Wont be able to forget it.... in case I ever do.. I still have this blog over here.. haha ^^...

That all for now... Bye Bye!!
