Our farewell gift for Lanny, A Nike jacket & a photo frame containing the photos we took during the CNY Gathering at my house earlier this year.

This outing was supposed to have happened 2 Saturdays ago, together with the birthday celebrations of Jonathan & Raymond, but Lanny was not able to make it as her family was on a short whirlwind trip to Singapore, therefore the date was fixed by her to meet up yesterday as she would be heading home to KL next Sunday. It is unfortunate that Ann & Raymond were not able to join us due to their work commitments.

The 1st part of the celebration was the KTV session. Although Lanny’s voice was not in a good condition yesterday (she has been down with a bad sore throat for the past two weeks), she still came by to sing with us. We really appreciate that. The session kicked off with Lanny, myself, Jonathan & Jue Liang taking turns to warm the room for the 1st hour as Evelyn & Weng Kiat were held up by something before this.

All of us took turns to become Lanny’s backup vocals as her voice was not able to hold for long. It ended up that towards the middle of the session till the end of the session, we ended up singing most of the songs together in the list with a majority of time with only 1 microphone as the other microphone had a problem that the technician was only able to rectify 1 hour before the end of the session.

Some of the songs we sang include :-

Evelyn says this MTV is cute. =)

We sang this song three times yesterday. I started off with this Chinese version, Lanny decided to do the Cantonese version after seeing this MTV. Weng Kiat did the Xiao Jing Teng version.

This was one of the few songs we repeated due to the faulty microphone.

We also sang this song as part of 鄧麗君medley of 7 songs that is only available at Partyworld KTV. It was introduced to me by Candy. It was good that we had two Cantonese song singers in Lanny & Jonathan. Otherwise, this medley of songs totalling at a length of 14 mins can’t be executed.

After that, it was dinner at the Asian Kitchen @ ION Orchard as Lanny wanted to have that for dinner. It is a Chinese restaurant that I thought had a similar feel to Grandma’s Place @ Nex. The food was not bad, but I must say the place is really crowded but the service is good.

Part 3 was a chill session at Coffee Club Express @ Wheelock Place. This was also where we asked Lanny to unwrap her gifts from us as most of them did not see the photo frame and the photos before we took photos as mementos.

We hope that Lanny would have a more fulfilling life back home in KL. We know that she has decided to be home to spend more time with her family. We sincerely wish her all the best. =)
