A NIGHT FOR MINGLING…..
It was a night for Chris to literally let
his hair down. By 7.40pm a few tables were already full. Barbequed chicken,
mutton, prawns, fish , salad, fried rice were some of the dishes served.
Needless to say, the Liverpool team wore their red Liverpool T-shirt and was a
standout in the crowd. We waited patiently for Chris to see if would actually
wear the given t-shirt. About 10 past 8, he arrived and came out of the MPV car
in his red Liverpool T-shirt and holding his ukulele. His hair was down and he
looked very relaxed but probably sweating due to the humid air. We were very
excited and cheered when he arrived, showing off our ‘uniform’ for the night.
He seemed thrilled with the Liverpool supporters especially, when a Manchester
United fan was found wearing one too.
After
dinner, group photographers were taken Chris came over to our table with his
Ukulele. He strummed and plucked his ukulele while the rest of us had a mini
karaoke season with song requests. Of course we didn’t always know the songs he
knew. After a while, Peter and Katie joined in and the singing and laughing
continued till almost 10 at night. We were the last group to leave and as
usual, Bill had to literally ask Chris to stop. Despite the heat, we had a lot
of fun and to an extend it removed some of the stress we had been having for
the past 2 weeks.
