Faizal's special someone

the interview
Who’s the someone special you'll be singing to tonight?
My godmother, I call her Aunty Mona. Her name is actually Mona and she owns a boutique in
Arab Street called Mona J Boutique that sells traditional clothes like kebayas and baju kurungs.

I want to thank her and show her my appreciation for all that she’s done for me. Since I was 10 years old, she’s been the sponsor of all my performance clothes (yes, Faizal has been performing in singing contests and events since he was 10!!!). She’s even loaned me a full Kenneth Cole suit which she ordered especially for me from US!

She always encourages me and gives me advice like ‘Sing well, but also study well’. She always reminds me that in
Singapore, paper qualifications are still very important. She also gifted the diamante ‘F’ brooch I wore last week, cos I’ve made it this far. I’ll be wearing it every week from now on!

If you had only $1 to spend together, what would you spend it on?
I’ll treat her to a cup of very good teh tarik at
Arab Street.

If you only $100 to spend together, what would you spend it on?
I’ll spend the money at her shop and give her some business.
I’ll buy something from there for my mom and my grandmother.

What’s your big hope/dream for them?
I hope for the best for her business, hope that it will always thrive – more revenue for her so she can sponsor more clothes for me! LOL! (joking!)
But seriously, would hope her business picks up again because it was really affected during the recession.

Most Interesting Moment
Her daughter threw us both a surprise birthday party this year. It was at her shop at
Arab Street and it was such a big surprise! It’s the first time ever anyone has ever thrown me a surprise party. All her friends, our relatives and even fans were there.

What do you have in common?
We are both Pisces. My birthday is 29th February and hers is 1st March, so just one day apart. Which was why the surprise party was for us both, since this year there is no 29th February!
