Jiri's Birthday Party
Last night, at about 7.30pm, my sis and I, together with 2 conservatory students, went to Mr. Jiri Heger's house for his 60th birthday party. There were already a handful of people there, and by 8.15pm, his house was already full of people. We met many nice people, such as the famous young-and-talented local conductor, Darrell Ang (photo below with moi):-
Mr. Dennis Lee and Mrs. Lee-Toh Chee Hung:-
Maestro Wang Ya Hui, SSO Principal violist Zhang Man Chin, Violinist Qian Zhou and YST Conservatory Director Dr. Steven Baxter:-
YST Conservatory Deputy Director Dr. Bernard Lanskey:-
Our very own world-renowned T'ang Quartet:-
Mr. David Mitchell, a music-crazed lawyer:-
and our birthday boy himself, Mr. Jiri Heger, SSO ex-Principal violist:-
Dinner was buffet style, and there were lots to eat and drink, not forgetting the delicious birthday cake. We had lots of fun, catching up with friends and photo-taking, and we really enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
We finally left for home at about 10.15pm, tired but happy. :P
