{ 4:49:00 PM }
Went to school to rehearse the item we are performing for the students in India. It tuned out to be quite fn when Ms Diyana came. Her actions were very cute and funny. We are performing a dikir barat. Mdm Zahara told me to bring as many kain sarongs as I can. My hands are acheing after all that clapping. While practicing, RJ sms-ed me and said that there was one more ticket left for the SAF concert. I ate lunch-dinner with LW and PR at Mac and went home to change cause it was almost 4.30. The concert was very good. They played symphonic dances from wes side story. The song was friggin' 30++ minutes long with 9 parts. But it was nice. Some people thought the song was over and started clapping. The song was not over yet people. Next time, wait for the conductor's baton to be down. After the "official" concert (not including encores), Me, RJ and the other swiss people gave the band a standing ovation. The Esplanade had staff who patrolled the hall for people who eat or drink. Alot of people KENA marah. It was like a children's daycare doing the intermission.
During our Dikir Barat Practice.

Esplanade: A mix of metal and wood

Liked the cityscape.

Russel from NCO was seating at the back of the stage. I think those who are seating there would feel very afraid of picking their noses as they are in view of the rest of the audience.

The Esplanade Concert Hall.

The SAF band. Everytime they play, i would think, "Why couldnt my horns play like that..."

We were able to get their autographs.

The conductor's autograph. TACKY UNIFORM!!!
