After the concert

Celebrity friends, fan club members and her own family gathered after the concert to celebrate Fann Wong's success. Champagne corks popped and someone brought in a beautiful cake designed with Fann's image. Eastciti spoke to the tired star.

<Eastciti.com, June 26> Looking slightly worn out but relaxed in a pink sequinned T-shirt and jeans, Fann sat down and shared with us her thoughts on her concert, My Story.

Her Performance
Would you call it a fantastic performance?
"I think I made the grade. I believe that with more experience and with time, I can improve."

You were quite calm on stage.
"Actually I was very scared and I couldn't get to sleep last night. Our rehearsal lasted till 1 am plus in the morning. They told me to get some rest but by 3 am, I still had not gone to sleep. It was until 4 plus then I managed to sleep."

What was the best part of it?
"The unplugged version, because it's closer to my heart. I also get to sing songs that I kind of like on stage. These songs were sung by other artistes and I can invite my friends (fellow MediaCorp artiste Cynthia Koh and reporter Wu Jing Kang went up on stage to duet with her) up to sing with me. Yes, the unplugged part was most enjoyable."

Fann's concert wardrobe
She spent $30,000 on a concert wardrobe made up mainly of clothes bought in Japan (the first 2 costumes were designed by local designers David Wang and Francis Cheong) and had 7 costumes changes during the 2-hour concert.

What's your favourite outfit?
"I like every one of them. But if I really had to choose, it would be the 2-piece puffy skirt (a Burberry spaghetti-strap top and puffy skirt) that I wore while I was playing the piano."

Fashion guru and good friend, David Gan apparently snipped off the skirt below the knee and made a top with the extra material. On hearing that, a reporter made a joking remark about Fann's bosom being, umm, rather small. To this, Fann merely played along by smiling and pouting while saying, "This cannot be helped… I also want my bust to be bigger!"

What will you do with your costumes?
She will donate the first or second outfit to charity and keep the rest for future events and functions. On top of that outfit, a red gemstone ring worth about $1,000 will also be auctioned off for charity. UNICEF, a non-profit organisation for children, is the charity organisation that they have in mind.
