The ambience around everyone is simply wonderful. Guests are beginning to take their seat around tens and tens of big round tables exquisitely arranged and draped with alluring white and red wraps, each table literary asking guests “come sit on me.” And what about the air around everyone? It is simply cool and good with the cooling system belching out such humid air that is keeping everyone in the right mood for the big occasion.
Up on the roof, tens of magnificent lights are twinkling like a galaxy of stars, illuminating the arena with such dazzling beauty, such grace. That’s a place to be, a place any honour receive will linger for a lifetime.
Around the stage, life bands are doing their act; they are too hot to handle. With the stage lights radiating everything about The Sun, everything here is giving a stamp of beauty and authority to both the awards and the giver – The Sun Publishing Co Ltd.
