We got the chance to view and take photo at the same time for the place where SYKES held their Year-End Celebration 2014 at SMX MOA. Me and my blogger friends got inside the venue first. Thank you to Mark Delgado for inviting me, Mars, Ivan and 2 others for the wonderful Christmas party ever had with SYKES.
The performance level are so high, I witness the performance of the first group and I can say that they performed very well without a doubt. The Energy, the Dance Choreography, Costume, Facial Reaction while Dancing and the props are accordingly.
