Journey to the West

I recently won a pair of seats to meet and have dinner with Kylie Kwong n yesterday was the day of the dinner.

So.. after Darren n I registered, we were assigned to sit at table 13, which was right at the back. But then, luck was on our side cus an Astro representative came n asked us to kindly move to table 7, which was righty at the front near the VIP table. Best still, Kylie was seated right behind me.

Anyways.. before dinner started, Kylie was introduced to all of us through a short video clip. When she came out, she told us about the wonderful 2 days she has ahd at Malaysia n also introduced her new upcoming show,Kylie Kwong: My China (where she actually went back to the Kwong ancestral village in Guangdong n also visit 9 other cities/places in China).

Darren and I had a great time at the dinner. We really enjoyed the chance we had to meet her.
