My partner in the 2007 New Year's eve Countdown at the Waves Restaurant is a Filipino lady singer working at one of the bars along Malakal. When we are practicing the song "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me", I have goosebumps and I told her, "Very rarely that I have goosebumps when somebody is singing. It's just a sign that you really sing with expression."
Our GM Isao Takahashi, middle-wearing Hawaiian shirt, knew my singer and where she works.
I don't remember her name, the Filipino lady singer.
