Rainbow Ville residents celebrated Chinese Lunar New Year cum Senior Citizens' 10th Anniversary with a dinner at the Open Plaza between Block 403 & 404 Bedok North Ave 3 on Friday, 19th February 2010 (正月初六). This event was organised by Rainbow Ville Residents' Committee and supported by IRCC.
More than 550 over residents together with Grassroots leaders attended the dinner. Our Adviser, Mr Lee Yi Shyan (MP for East Coast GRC), was the GOH.
Those present were treated to a sumptuous 9 course dinner, live band and songs performances by professional entertainers. A lively Lion Dance performance accompanied by the thunderous beating of drums and cymbals injected our Chinese New Year celebrations with great cheer and spirit. Together with our GOH, all the residents participated in a mass "lou hei" to usher in luck & prosperity for the Tiger year! Common phrases like 恭喜发财，步步高升，财源滚滚，中4D，中TOTO，发呀 were shouted during the tossing of Yu Sheng.
Mr Lee and Grassroots leaders also visited each table for a "Yum Sheng" session. Our GOH also took time to present appointment certificate to our Senior Citizens' Club Committee.
Mr Lee and GRLs would also like to take this opportunity to wish all Rainbow Ville residents a Happy Chinese New Year 2010!
