Are we ready to Excite?

The Excite launch (or the launch of the new Text 100 Brand Identity Guidelines) started with cranberry vodka cocktails for all and then it was down to business with everyone paying rapt attention to the videos and our new BIG and the fab super portal. The EXCITE video got lot's of people excited and we all loved the spaceman and the little aliens. Messages came across loud and clear!

FY09 was kind to Text 100 Malaysia and it was top of everyone's mind on how we will fare in FY10. With Excite we now have a focal point and a driving force - Are we ready to Excite? (the animated video with spacemen and aliens playing at the back of our minds...) Our clients, our bosses, the media, our industry, our peers and of course ourselves? And you know what, I think we are ready... we have great people, the passion and the drive to make Text 100 continue to excite and impress!

What did we do for drinks the rest of the evening? We had the classic Mojito, Vodka Green Tea with a twist and lots of other impromptu concoctions. But the one that got us coming back for a second sip was the Valkyrie!

Tthe award for Yummiest cocktail of the night went to Vicky with her Valkyrie. A wonderful little cocktail from our resident mama hen. How to make the Valkyrie according to Vicky:
Ingredients: 2 shots of Vodka, 1 shot of Lemon juice, 1 shot of Vanilla sugar syrup AND a few shots of Love...

Steps:
1. Add all the ingredients in the cocktail shaker
2. Add lots of ice, shake with gusto
3. Strain into a glass with ice
4. Garnish with a lemon slice
5. And most importantly, serve with lots of love!

It was a little hard to get people dancing but once the cocktails started flowing, we soon had Texties strutting their moves. “I’m shy lah..” Eevon says but the next minute she showing her moves. “I want to dance, I want to dance...”, and boy can Anoushka dance! And then the infamous pink feather boa came out of the store room.... Inhibitions, what’s that I say? So after much contemplation, the winner of the best dance moves in Malaysia goes to.... Anoushka! Followed very closely by Lee, our lovely Diva :-)

I must say that everyone looked great that night. David in his pink shirt, all the ladies in their finery and killer shoes. Everyone made and effort and the pictures did us all justice :-) Lot's of make-up bags on the table and people primping in the toilets but I must say that Libby stood out (her dress was hot off the rack and still had the tag on it!). In her striking blue cocktail dress, Libby surprised us all when she came out of the ladies in all her finery. Top marks for effort, a beautiful ensemble and the attitude to match!

To borrow a phrase from Min: I LOVE you guys!
