Pre-event activities started around noon time as thecrowds started to form. The grown-ups were queuing up for theirshrink caricature while the children waited for their share of theballoon sculpture and to jump on the bouncer specially rented forthe afternoont. Everyone around was engaged in some activity andthe cocktails started to flow in.With the arrival of our director of the NUHCS, A/Prof TanHuay Cheem and our head of Cardiac Department, A/Prof YeoTiong Cheng, we formally started the event. We also had thehonour of having Mr Noel Cheah, the COO of the NUHS join usin our Cardiac Family Day this year. Our host was Chubby fromShowbiz Production who started the event with the familiar tuneof the Hawaii 5 O and got everyone up from their seats. Thesumptuous international buffet lunch started shortly after.As the crowd settled into desserts, we started our programmefor the afternoon with mass games. The childhood game of scissors,paper, stone which every adult was familiar with but it was thechildren who won the game in the end. We also had the game ofpassing the parcel (with a twist) and a dancing competition. Adancing competition with the dancers blindfolded, from which wediscovered talented dancing queens and kings amongst us. Afterthat, we had our talented staff from the CCU, heart clinics, ward 56and 63 who displayed their musicality with song and dance items.And of course, our registrars and residents who surprised us withtheir skit of X-men reunited and together with Prof Ronald Lee,they saved Professor X from an acute coronary event. : )Following that was the magic show by Kiki Tay, a well-knownSingaporean magician, which wowed both kids and adults.
