It started out as a normal dinner ... the 5 of us all having fish and chips ... then came the 2 piece band performing some songs ... I continued eating and we all finished even before the band started, so we were just chatting ...
...
THEN SUDDENLY!!!
...
"We have a request ... can I invite 'Leon Lai' on stage!? "
as it shocked me ... I know that it's not my name as mine is 'Leon Lim' but the waiter was asking me up on stage...


I never got in a way sabotaged before, because I was thinking it's just a casual early birthday dinner with my friends ....

They requested I sing 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz ... my thoughts were quite stable yet still recovering from the shock of being asked up stage hahaha ... I thought to myself ok haha cool that should be all the surprise 'whew' then I came back to the seat.

Video of the song performed =)

Just when I thought when things are settling ...

"Leon, we're not done yet, you have to stand on the chair!"

Eh... here?!

Asking the people seated behind if they mind lookin at my butt hahahhaa

This is an ugly picture of me, but I just wanted to show the love people can share ... the people seated behind, even though they don't know me personally, stopped eating and sang along for me ... people in the restaurant as well ... I was really shy but happy about it ... I just feel so happy for the moment of love and care they showed me ...
Thank you all!!! let's spread love and care with everyone as well =)

I was asked to blow out the candle while I was still standing straight. hehehe little did they know, I had confidence. I need to thank my vocal teacher "Wu Jia Ming" for teaching me the importance in breathing in singing that helped me blow out the candles in 1 breath
(yeah! sorry if I sounded boastful)

I was then allowed down to take a closer look at the very cute cake they custom designed for me =)


Cute yeah? the black stick man is me! holding on to a microphone!

And there was more!!! gifts from my friends !
