President's Star Charity 2007: the show

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JANA, GERALDINE AND SUSILA


What a rush... me and Mr EY reached Mediacorp before 6 on Sunday, but not before I finished work a little later than 5 pm. Then my other friend Mr TT arrived at around 1825 hrs. Of course all the fans were seated at the balcony as is the case for all other charity shows, but there were actually a lot of empty seats at the sides. Still, it was great to see the HapyHadys, the Fiknatics (Source as one of them), the Jonatics, Nat Ho fans, Dance Floor fans, Revalina fans and many others.
