The event started at 2.00 pm with a speech from Mr. Yu Chin Chai, the Head of Chinese Calligraphy organization from Hua Ho Cultural Fund, explaining how the craft of Chinese Calligraphy evolved throughout the millennia, which was followed by a calligraphy demonstration which means: "Hua Ho Cultural Fund".

At the same time, the Chinese Music demonstration team performed several songs, including modern as well as classic. They brought with them several traditional Chinese Musical instruments including Er' hu, Yang-qin, Ocarina and Cucurbit Flute.

After several demonstrations from the invited guests, a small Calligraphy Competition was held. The competition was divided into Chinese Category and Non-Chinese Category. The top 3 winners are awarded by prizes, courtesy of OGDC.
