President's Star Charity 2007: the show

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.

Jon and Hady at Chinatown Point

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RANDY CHAN, NG CHEE YANG AND TAUFIK BATISAH

Having gone for a haircut and bought Hady's debut album, I headed off to Chinatown Point to see... JONATHAN LEONG AND HADY MIRZA (again)!!! And yes, I did join forces wif the Jonatics of course... :-)

The host, a DJ named Sue looked kinda HOT... kinda reminds me of Emilee :-)

Jonathan sang 3 songs... Matcbox Twenty's "If You're Gone", Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" and "Should I Stay".

Hady sang 3 songs,all which were featured in his debut album... Carol King's "You've Got A Friend", "Merpati" (which he wrote and composed), and of course, the new Singapore Idol anthem "You Give Me Wings".

The autograph session started soon after... I managed to take pic wif Jonathan, but I couldnt take pic wif Hady, cos security rushed me off the stage quickly. Well at least I got to pass to them the 'Idol Warrior' drawings I drew for them :-) After that, I zoomed off to work.

Reason why I didnt smile during the picture was bcos the camera batteries were already running dangerously flat by the time I got on stage. Yeah, I was rather worried.

Til then, stay tuned for pictures at the Jonatic gathering... :-)
