2013 marked a significant year for Elvis Tribute Artistes from Asia. Along with Mr. HT Long, we were the duo representing Malaysia for an exclusive Elvis of Alliance Asia concert, held also in conjunction with the founder's birthday. Yes, Mr. Tommy Ooi turned 65. Oh what a night !
Held in Novotel Wan Chai, Hong Kong, our event began the night before with a photo shoot for the magazine cover story by the South China Morning Post. We were on the streets of Wan Chai at sunset.
On the birthday bash itself, the dinner guests were entertained by the best of the best Elvis Tribute Artistes from Asia and beyond - Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong & Australia.
With so little time for so many of us, each could only render 3 songs. My songs were 'Hound Dog', 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and a special request by the birthday boy, 'Crying in the chapel'.
We, as the privileged international Elvis Tribute Artistes chosen for the Elvis Alliance of Asia, gathered as a team to deliver the very best of Elvis entertainment. It was in the spirit of collaboration instead of competition Each has his own style and strengths, complementing one another to pay the ultimate tribute to Elvis.
There were celebrities galore, and a rare occasion to meet them face-to-face.
With former Miss Malaysia (1998), Sherine Wong.
We met last year for the same event in Hong Kong. A good chance for a duet in 2014!
With Mr. Anders Nelsson, a prominent figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The lovely lady is my Aunt Helen, who secretly arranged with Tommy to attend the event as a surprise for me! Thank you, Aunt Helen, for your support. Glad you had fun and enjoyed yourself.
