Linda Chong's Birthday Party, 21 Oct 07, The Brassie and Spoon, Singapore Island Country Club
Hsin Yeow's thoughts: Isn't She Lovely?
The best way to celebrate a birthday is to do it in style.
On her birthday, all Linda had to do was stick a pin on her blouse, one which proclaims, "It's my birthday today!", and show up at the Singapore Island Country Club. Thereafter, she was ushered into a room (The Brassie & Spoon) decorated with red, black and gold balloons by her beautiful daughter Hazel, and filled with her family members, relatives and closest friends.
While Linda was enjoying her sumptuous dinner, Feri and I strolled in, brought out the microphones and started performing her favourite songs! Before I started singing, she probably thought that we'd entered the wrong room, but I explained that her husband had engaged the band as a surprise for her.
Feri and I had a wonderful time! I found a great partner in Feri, who provided solid accompaniment, and could handle different tempos and keys with consummate ease. He even helped me sing backup for Under The Boardwalk!
The party was a great success, filled with sounds of roaring laughter, spots of spontaneous dancing and scores of rambunctious kids attempting to dance the ballet and karate-kick each other at the same time. After three hours, it drew to a fitting close when everyone sang the Happy Birthday song to Linda, who was beaming with joy. I'd say it was a grand way to celebrate a birthday, wouldn't you?
Once again, happy birthday Linda! May all your wishes come true!
