PHOTO: Dinner/karaoke to celebrate Hasan's job offer !

[Andy]

Hi everyone,

Hasan just accepted an offer from Citigroup's Credit Derivative group and he'd like to invite everyone to a dinner/karaoke night to celebrate the occasion.
The date will be Friday, May 4th. We have a makeup class that day and will head out after class.
I'm coordinating this event on behalf of Hasan. I'd like to invite everyone to join Hasan and RSVP early so I can contact the restaurant/karaoke.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE JOB OFFER, HASAN !
:band:

Great news Hasan! Looks like you made the right decision two months ago.

[Andy]

Congratulations on your big move to the finance industry, Hasan. Many more exciting offers will come your way in the years to come.

[Andy]

If you have not RSVPed, please do so by this Sunday so I can have a precise headcount. If you have already RSVPed, please update it to indicate whether you are to join either dinner/karaoke or both.

For the karaoke part, each person will be responsible for their own cost. Usually, the karaoke parlor will charge per person, usually $6-8/person/hour no matter you sing or not

[Andy]

It would be greatly appreciated if you can update your rsvp whether you join either dinner, karaoke or both.
The rsvp will be closed by Monday because we would have to reserve a room with a minimum,maximum headcount by then.

Thanks a lot

I am not in that class. What time and where shall I meet everyone? If it's after 830, I think I'll eat first and meet just for the singing.

[Andy]

Woody,
You may want to consider sitting in that class for one night. It's one of the few times left you will see Prof Stefanica teaching :-ss

If not, see us in the vending machine area on the 6th floor at 8:30pm. You have my number.
You can get some 151 going before the karaoke.

On a side note, writing down the songs you like to sing before hand is really helpful. When we get there, you can enter the code into the machine right away instead of looking through the books of 40,000+ songs

Here are my karaoke list.

Scorpions - Wind of Change
Queen - We are the Champions
Queen - We will Rock you
Vertical Horizon - Best i ever had (my new fav song)
Akon - Never took the time
Akon - No matter
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (best song of all time)
Coolio - Gangster paradise
Baha men - Who let the dogs out
..... :smt006


Here are some of RussianMike's fav tunes
Village People - Macho Man
Village People - YMCA
Weather Girls - It's raining Men
.............. :thumbsup:

Sounds like fun. But if you want me to sing at 10pm, I'll have to start drinking around six. :smt030

Not a bad idea. It shouldn't take that long with the help of 151 :dance:

Thanks everyone for updating their RSVP. Looks like we have enough people for a private karaoke room. From the looks of it, it's gonna be one of those wild Guys Night Out :smt006

So here are the list of people signed up for Karaoke
Hasan, Chris, Max, Mike, Billy, Nalin, SP, Andy, Vlad, Woody

How about drinking from 4, attending Dan's Class and then go for the night out ;) ???

[Andy]

:yeahrt: Not bad advice at all, SP. Not bad.
Maybe we should all do that. PDE class will become must more interesting and enjoyable, I assume.

[Andy]

Hi everyone,
We have picked out the restaurant for our dinner. The cuisine will be Indian.
The restaurant is Curry Leaf http://www.curryleafnyc.com/

They are between Lex and 26th, 2 blocks from Baruch. It's Zagat rated and from what our friends in the program said, it is an excellent restaurant.

Hope to meet you soon

[Andy]

Woody,
Here is the song list as requested. This is not the place we are going to but they have pretty much the same song list.

maybe I'll sing this one:

BOB DYLAN: MAGGIE'S FARM

;)

[Andy]

20,000 songs and you found 1 song you can sing ?
Make me wonder if your famous singer uncle is really related to you.

Hasan, thank you very much. You are so nice.
Good Luck in your new career at Citi Group!

[Peik Looi]

Thanks Hasan, for a wonderful time!

The karaoke session was hilarious. AmericanBilly started by calling all PRC to invade Tibet and the rest is history....the karaoke remote was complicated and ran out of battery......

There are so many talented singers (well many times we just talked through the songs) amongst us. Woody introduced some of the corny-est lyrics, like "...talking to a chair"???

[AmericanBilly]

Hasan,
Thank you so much. What a great evening! I think Woody is ready to start his own Neil Diamond tribute band (kind of like in Saving Silverman). Best of luck at Citicorp.

[Bridgett]

Hasan, thank you very much for the great evening! We all wish you the very best.

[kims]

Hasan, thank you for great dinner and karaoke!!! We had so much fun that night. Wish you the best luck in your career.

[alain]

Hasan, thanks for the great dinner. Good luck in the Citigroup!!!

[RussianMike]

Hasan, thank you very much for a wonderful dinner and your company. It was great fun hanging out. Good luck in you new job at Citigroup, I'm sure you will do just fine. You have a huge support group here at Baruch MFE, we're all rooting for you.

[hasan]

You are all very welcome.... It was a pleasure :)
Thanks again for your time , companionship and all the well wishes...

[woody]

Hasan, thanks for the dinner, etc. I know you'll succeed. Today was your first day. You can tell me about it Wednesday.

[Andy]

Finally got sometime to get to the pics that I took.

Table for 2. How romantic ! I think there were some candle and flowers on the table.
