Chinese Orchestra

Alicia enthusiastically asked for 5 tickets from her teacher for a Yangzheng sponsored Singapore Chinese Orchestra concert for Saturday. The teacher even called a day before to ensure that we attend!

We had a yummy dinner at Ding Tai Fung at Raffles City to celebrate Mother's Day. Then, we headed to SCO Hall at the old Singapore Conference Hall for our 1st such concert.

I was initially afraid that the kids wld b making too much noise during the concert. Surprisingly, they behaved very well. Brandon, the hyper boy who can't concentrate for too long, sat through quietly n seemed to enjoy the concert.

Alicia was happy to see a few of her friends around.

Caden, the cheeky boy, kept giggling at the conductor cum Music Director. His smile & movements on the stage was indeed funny. We were locked out for 8 mins cos Caden needed to go for a toilet break.

The minus point abt the concert was that there was much applause after each performance. They even hv 2 encores! Brandon said towards the end,"I hv no energy to clap hands le...". Haaa!!!

The concert ended at 10.20pm. Find that it's a bit too long for the kids. By the time they went home in the car, they dozed off.

However, I'm glad we got to appreciate the music for the nite.
