More on The Point’s launch


Unspun searched high and low and came up with a source who had attended The Point’s launch party yesterday. This is the source’s account:

“The blades those dancers used scared me off.
Message might be clear, but I think it’s too obvious. Immature. If they want to declare a war against the Post, should they really involve the ‘innocent’ guests – who then took few steps back, including myself?

Other interesting fact was they still had lots of red wine at 8:45 p.m. – party was supposed to end at 9:00 p.m. Not a very good sign, I guess? Either wine was not good, or too few guests. First they serve small amount of wine in big glasses, later they started to fill half the glasses but still servers found it difficult to sell. But for sure the huge ballroom felt empty and cold that evening.
Oh well…

And the Judge Bao comic is still there!!!!”

Additional “experience” I would like to share with you is when I rang them for RSVP.

I rang the number mentioned on the invitation. The receptionist asked me to dial mobile numbers of people whose names mentioned there – assuming I knew their mobile number. I told her, “I don’t have their numbers. The invitation only mentioned one landline number for RSVP. Can you just write down my name?”

The receptionist said I had to call one of those people mentioned at the invite. She gave me two mobile numbers. I was like “Gee… What a hassle…”, but OK. Then the receptionist said, “OK, ya, Bu, bisa dilanjut sendiri, ya?”.

Apa? Dilanjut? Sounds more like a cab operator… *chuckle*
