Event Highlights
The night kicked off with a bang as DJ NotYuTing and Ziggy took over, setting the tone with energetic beats that got the crowd moving and set a lively vibe for the evening. As guests got into the rhythm, the anticipation built for the next highlight: a live cocktail demo by mixology expert Kay Ng, who quickly became the center of attention.

Kay’s showcase didn’t disappoint—he wowed the crowd by creating four unique drinks on the spot, each crafted with a creative twist. The drinks were as visually stunning as they were delicious, with flavors that ranged from tropical to herbal. After the demonstration, fifteen lucky guests were selected to sample the drinks, and their positive reactions spoke volumes about Kay’s mixology skills. The drinks not only added a sophisticated touch to the evening but also inspired conversations as guests exchanged their thoughts on the flavors.
