Birthday celebrations to ring in one's 60th year should always be done in elegance to mark another key milestone reached. And that's exactly what Kelly Keak and her brother Kelvin did for their mother last month. Dr Susan Teng received a splendid surprise lovingly planned by her children, at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore on January 16. Guests were in on the special event too, as they gathered at the foyer to give Dr Teng a surprise confetti throw upon her arrival. The soiree included a fun performance by the matriarch's grandchildren as well as a touching speech by Kelly herself. The managing director of MTM Skincare paid tribute to her mother and said: "I would like to thank my mum for all her sacrifices made and the love she's given to us over the years; all the values she instilled in me has made me a better person as I strive to contribute and give back to society." As guests mingled and posed for pictures at the cake display and photo wall, the event was made even more meaningful when it was later revealed that a total of $10,000 was raised for SianChay Medical Institution, with Dr Teng making an additional donation of the same amount.
