Thank yous....

Thank you all for everything.

to mum for booking the place.

the short story goes as follows: I was vying for the venue with another client. The original person that i was liasing with was A BUM, and ARSE and a loser (whom i think got sacked due to his lackadasical work attitude). He took over a month to get back to me on the issues.. even if i called repeatedly every week.
I only found out that he was not there one fine day when i called to ask abt the proceedings... only to be refered to someone else, Alvin (the greenhorn, who really didnt provide necessary backup for the party, but its ok, as long as it didnt screw up totally - those in the KTV room and those who knew what was going on in the kitchen wld understand better). anyway, mum stepped in and said "I WILL PUT A DOWNPAYMENT" and that did the trick with wishywashy alvin.

To my uncle, Mum's eldest brother for paying for the delish LANA CAKE - ie very rich chocolate cake.


To my pretty receptionists
who were FANTASTIC help before and during the party. my sister, Soong fee, and her friends, Phy and Steff. They met up way early in the day to get me a present, a very pretty necklace. And also supporting us at PS for the Chinggay 2005 Talent Hunt. Steph was my other secretary, after my sister... my sis did alot..l. i dont even know everything she did... what did you do sf? Phy provided artistic talent by providing the 759655 PENS that you saw, and also the drawings on the slips of paper to spruce up the "guest book".


The Dancers!!! VIVA SALSA mi amigos!!

the performance was fantastic, RAVES! i tell you!
Such a pity adeline wasnt with us, nor in the mood to celebrate with me. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I am just sorry I cannot be of much help, but do tell me when I CAN!

The social dancing was performance in itself too.. :D got alot of pple interested in it.
and thank you for agreeing to bring the music and doing the lil' line dance..
LUTH YOU WERE SO PRO.. *lol*


The MUSICIANS..

Daniel, i'll put you with your trumpet here coz well, it was YOU that agreed to play a song or 2 at first.. but its because you did agree to it, infact.. you were the one that convinced me to even do a lil performance in the first place, when i was rambling that my mother was being too precocious to expect my friends to perform. But it snowballed from there..

Jason and Derek, the HO BROTHERS, J on drums and Derek on bass guitar. You guys were such great sports when i brought up the idea at Harry's. And to derek, thanks for just agreeing on the spot, when that was the 1st day I met you! *incredible*..

Along with Josh, the guitarist.. he was a sport too. (sorry, but i dont think i'll sing at harry's at all.. if i've stage fright at my birthday, It'll be WORSE at harry's) and his friend, the other bassist that jammed with Daniel my didi - on the drums - GOOD MUSIC for pple who didnt meet up.. SWELL JAMMIN' IN ITSELF!

TO LEON!!!!! you were supposed to play, but you didnt. you came early to help, and I was busy already... YOU STILL OwE ME A FULL DAY WORTH OF MEALS NOW!! just... thank you for just being there.. :) and for the lovely earrings that i was wearing the whole night! you sure you designed it? *chuckle*

And Drew.. the DUET.. *oops* it didnt come out as well as practice :/ *sigh* my fault, I forgot lyrics :( hey, but the audience didnt notice!

-----

my dear guests i'm so sorry i had to "categorize" you. It was commented that it seemed like a pre wedding party :S SHEESH! no, i'm too young, and i'm still very much single.
Your presence, the life, the love, the energy, the gifts.. thank you all so much.

I was so flustered. but really, thank you for coming. I WILL NEVER HOST AOTHER PARTY ..... not any time soon at least..



but Do give comments on the party ok?



I'd like to know if you enjoyed yourselves; if it was something differnt; what was the most interesting?; ANYTHING! I wanna make a scrap book out of this! :D

for those who walked in when there was no one at the reception table, and you havent seen the scraps of paper with funny hand drawn designs on them... Thats my "guest book". Could i implore you to just pen a few lines for my personal keepsake?

I'm so sorry I couldnt spend time with you individually, but thats the Opportunity Cost - Bash vs Inimacy. Something I had to decide on. I chose bash, since i've never hosted a party before, much lest organize one! I hope i did a decent job :/

So, Do comment! THANKS!!
