Weekend in Macau at the new Lan Kwai Fong Hotel

August 1st 2009 - After our TCI Summer Music Camp performance at the studio, Andreas, Adee, Clement, Aunty Flora, Alexias, Serena, Keiffany and I prepared for our weekend trip to Macau, to attend the opening of Lan Kwai Fong Macau Hotel. It was in a way, a short holiday and a little work for me. =)

By the time we arrived at the hotel, we were a little hungry and tired but anxiously waiting for our dinner at the Brazilian restuarant, Fogosamba, at the Venetian. Our reservation was for 6:30pm, so Andreas and I went to get our hair done and to meet the gang at the restuarant later.

Dinner was just a bit rushed, and most of us became quite full just a little too fast, even though it was good =)

Managed to walk out of the restuarant without feeling ill, and got back to the hotel to watch some TV and rest up. =)

August 2nd 2009 Sunday

I can't believe we were without the internet all weekend long and actually wasn't too bad. I could have written some, but just with the impending work and having to perform just with Joey and the one man Band -Ben, was just a bit of concern..... =) yes, I wished I had stuck to my guns in bringing the whole band, but sometimes, things don't turn out the way you want it to.

The whole performance still went very well, and everyone had a great time. =) So I am happy about that. So thankful, too, for Flora's lovely, bright, TC's LV- like blouse/top, which was a lifesaver!!! I was 'told' it was very casual, 'everyone' who wants to sing can just get up on stage and Ben, the one man band/Ben, can accompany them..... but I am sooooo glad I insisted on bringing Joey! =) He was great, of course!

Adee, Clement, Flora, Alexias, Serena & Keiffany left around 9:45pm, just as I started to sing, to catch the 10:30 pm ferry back to HK, as they have camp the next morning.

Andreas and I managed to hang around and felt like groupies, (especially me), having photos taken with all the celebrities...... =)

Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and it was good all in all.

August 3rd 2009

Our Summer Music Camp started its 4th week and we see some more new and old faces! I managed to work a little on 'I Like Colors' and it's sounding good..... =) The kids did great and revised on some old songs.

Oh yes, Andreas received two more mixed Kids songs today from Dave R. and 'Twinkle Little Star' and 'Three Blind Mice' sounds absolute wonderful!!! Spoke to Dave and I was so touched and honored he liked my arrangements and the girls' singing plus my first kids' composition of 'The ABC Song'! YEAH!!!
