much-loved client
Whenever Therese calls us we cheer up.
* Lovely Therese getting her hand tattood with henna!
A long-time client, she calls us whenever the oil rig company she works for, completes the construction of an oil rig.
* This is an actual rig the company built. Absolutely amazing stuff.
The gigs we do for her are characterized by:
* The presence of numerous expatriates
* An appreciative audience who never fails to warm our hearts with applause
* Great food
* Stellar hospitality
Therese always makes us feel like we are guests and not just paid staff who are there to do a job and leave.
She is more concerned if we have had our drinks or have eaten, rather than counting the sets!
Because of that, it feels like we are playing for a friend!
It always a pleasure because she and the guests absolutely loves our Abbas, particularly the snappy ones like Super Trouper and Mamma Mia.
And for some reason the gigs always coincide with her American boss’s wedding anniversary or wife’s birthday, and we always end up serenading the couple.
Tonight we play at the exotic Sentosa Pavilion at the Sentosa Golf Club's Serapong Course.
The glass-walled dining room overlooks a bright green sea of immaculate golf course.
Therese tells us stories about the oil rigs the companies build and how these incredible mega-drills travel to places as far-flung as Brazil to extract oil from the deep sea.
We hope to play for her again when the next rig is completed!
