My brother, the romancer<\/strike> the king, threw a not-so<\/strike> surprise party for King’s Wife to celebrate their 20th anniversary.\u00c2\u00a0He had the event planned out with the help of my nieces and his staff.<\/p>\n

(I was sms-ing my niece, Ally, before the party,\u00c2\u00a0if King wanted a real surprise, he should have invited some<\/a> of<\/a> her<\/a> blogger<\/a> friends<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

It was a garden party in a down town restaurant; the place was adorned with flowers,\u00c2\u00a0and candles lining the\u00c2\u00a0path to the dining area, very romantic set up. They also hired a music machine for the night.

The royal family arrived after everybody. King’s Wife wasn’t quite surprised because my brother burst his own bubbles in the car. Haih. Nonetheless, I think she must feel very ‘lum’ (Cantonese : touched to the core).<\/p>\n

My nieces gave an opening speech, followed by my brother, and then without any planning, this happened.

\n\"Zara<\/p>\n

Zara took on the stage with little coaxing from Sam, her favourite cousin, and started singing totally irrelevant A, B, C song, and then a Chinese New Year Song (Gong Xi Gong Xi Gong Xi Ni) to an audience of ~40 people. What guts she has! (My dad said she was just like me when I was her age, ever willing to stand up and sing a song to entertain his friends.) o.O<\/p>\n

After her, my brother’s staffs made him sing ‘their song’ for King’s Wife, accompanied by a violinist. No prize for guessing who went on stage to dance.<\/p>\n

(It wasn’t a karaoke party, so the singing stopped here).<\/p>\n

Ally conned her mum into giving her all their really old photos, using the reason that she needed them for school project. Using the photos, a photo slide was done on the royal couple’s courtship to the 20years they’d been married. Everybody had a good laugh seeing some of those really ancient photos!<\/p>\n

The food was a disappointment, but when the DJ started playing all the 1980s hit, every body hit the dance floor; even Daddy, who normally shy away from dancing (I trust he had a bit too much to drink too). Haha.<\/p>\n

\"Everybody<\/p>\n

The girls, especially Zara, really had a great time.\u00c2\u00a0 What a great party it was!<\/p>\n
