Mandarin Gallery 1st Anniversary Celebration

Mandarin Gallery celebrated its first anniversary yesterday evening with their Two Good To be True! Grand Draw.

Shoppers who spent $1,000 at Mandarin Gallery between last September to 26 January were entered into the lucky draw to win one of two BMW cars. One was a white BMW X5 while the other was a gleaming red BMW 120i Convertible.

The event was hosted by Gurmit Singh, who was his usual supremely entertaining self.

20 lucky shoppers, who had been selected in advance, were invited on to the stage to unveil the contents of these red packets. Of the 20, the 7 who unveiled packets containing the word "BMW" advanced on to the final round while the others received $680 each in shopping vouchers.

Confetti filled the air as the two lucky winners learnt which BMW they were going home with! The other shoppers in the final round walked away with $880 in shopping vouchers each.


The most enjoyable part of the event was actually the three high energy percussion perfomances by local group Urban Drum Crew.


Here are the last two minutes of their final performance that I filmed with my Canon digicam. Do also check out their Facebook page!

Thereafter, my fellow beauty bloggers (Chantana, Kas, Mag and Sara) and I adjourned for more shopping and dining in the Gallery.

And I came home with this pair of crystal-studded Fitflops that I've been eyeing for quite some time. These are incredibly comfortable and gave my feet immediate relief. They'll be perfect for shopping marathons!
