How my friend got to know he is related to Chan Fong

On August 30th, I joined a friend to attend a wedding dinner at Sunway Carnival Convention Centre, Seberang Jaya, Penang. It was his cousin's daughter's happy occasion and I was to be his companion during the trip which was a chance to catch up on news.

Actually, I had guests over the Merdeka holiday but they were my daughter-in-law's friends on a Jom Makan Makan trip. So after one self-encouraged performance (aka show off) at the drums, accompanying Guy Sebastian's Midnight hour, I was off with my friend. Incidentally, Guy Sebastian was the soul singer-songwriter and winner of the first Australian Idol in 2003. I used to have Wilson Pickett's tape but never get to find one for the song on CD until few days ago when I found this Guy's version which is just as good for my purpose.

At the dinner, I looked around for anyone whom I might know but it was a sea of unfamiliar faces in the big banquet hall. Wait a minute, I noticed someone who looks like Chan Fong, the 988 DJ who appeared in some advertisements and on the panel of some competitions. In fact, he was featured in The Star just a few days ago. From what I gathered, I knew his father when his company rented two of our shophouses in Jalan Ipoh in the '80s. I was also told he was our school junior at MBS Sentul, KL!

My friend was doubtful whether he was Chan Fong and even wanted to place a bet with me. But I was almost certain and just wanted to confirm I did not lose my ability at recognizing people, though I know I have lost the memory part of remembering most of their names.

I noticed the bride's mother speaking to Chan Fong's wife and seeing them with their children I was quite sure they are related, so I asked the gentleman next to me. He confirmed that he is Chan Fong and explained that Mrs. Chan is the hostess's sister! So my friend just got to know he is related to him!
