MMI Concert 2007

The long awaited day finally arrived. It was finally time for her school concert. It was Ayra's first time on stage and she and her little friends had been practising like mad. So I dressed her in her little cheerleader's costume and put on some basic make up (as instructed) on her face. We were then off to the NTUC Auditorium.



It was a madhouse there. All the parents with their little ones dressed up in curious, brightly colored costumes. We dropped Ayra off where she was promptly "picked up" and brought backstage by the teachers. An and I then went to "Lau Pa Sat" for a little meal while we waited for 1.00 pm. We were seated by 1.15pm but the concert didn't start till 1.35pm.

The director of preschools gave out certificates to the graduands (K2 kids) and then the concert started!

It was really quite a grand affair. The kids were oh so cute in their costumes and they were all so earnestly trying their best to remember their dance steps. I had a really good time. I do applaud the teachers who coordinated the whole concert. I am having a hard time coordinating 14 to 16 year olds so I can imagine how difficult it is with 3 to 6 year olds!

My little Ayra danced her heart out! Haha! Poor girl, she complained afterwards that her partner was a bit slow but overall, she said she had a good time. An said he was quite surprised to see Ayra shake so much as she was quite shy in showing us her dance steps at home.




The finale was quite awesome, with the teachers joining in as well. There were so many children onstage!


Anyway, it was soon over and it was time to "collect" our respective children. Such a mad rush! We finally "collected" our girl. This is our little performer with her proud daddy.




We went to Marina Square after that as Ayra was starving. She only had a biscuit during the duration of the concert. Here's our hungry little girl with her well deserved plate of chicken rice.

She then promptly fell asleep in the car on the way home. It's tough to be a performer!

Anyway, I've already ordered a dvd of the performance. However, for your viewing pleasure, this is an amateurish video shot by the mummy aka m'ua.





To think, I have more of these concerts to attend (and that's not even counting Fuddin's). Shucks, being a parent nowadays can be tough (but worth it).
