SSO Babies Prom

Finally, today is the concert.. :) initially, we were not able to get the tickets as it's almost snatched up during the pre sales to Friends of SSO.. but luckily, due to the overwhelming response, SSO added another session on Sat, 2.15pm.. I was so anxious tt i was practically glued to the sistic website on the opening day for ticket sales.. :P but, my workplace PC got problem with purchasing tickets online!! bobian.. quickly activated hubby... :P 皇天不负有心人.. we finally got the tickets we so badly wanted.. :)

we nearly couldn't make it to the concert.. PH is down with stomach flu.. has been vomitting and diarrhea for the past few days.. and me n hubby oso started showing signs of stomach flu too.. i was vomitting while hubby had diarrhea.. :P but we were so keen to go for the concert tt we decided to try our luck.. :)

祸不单行.. we went out of house 1 hr b4 concert.. but met with jam on AYE!! quickly make a detour and was able to reach the concert hall.. but we were so late tt there's no more parking space at empress place museum.. got to park at Parliament Place instead... by the time we reached the concert hall, pre concert activities had already ended... :( not much time for photo taking too....... :( but, we still managed to grab a balloon for PH.. heee.. :)

it has been so long since i step into VCH as audience.. :P in the past, i'm more familar with the backstage... :P been to the light control room b4 too.. :P when i was a kid n still not involved in concerts, i was running all over the places b4 i'm needed to go onstage to present flowers to the conductor n guest performers.. :P and when i was old enough to go onstage, i started looking for nice places when i can comfortably rest and tune my instruments.. :P ahhh... all the fond memories... when can i perform on stage again??

anyway, back to the concert.. it was really fun.. the concert is really interactive.. :) when the conductor came onstage, hubby dun believe tt he's the conductor n kept asking me when the conductor is coming.. :P he said the conductor dun look like one.. :P i think he was expecting someone solemn.. hehehe... :P

the conductor was very interactive.. he introduced the characteristics of the instruments really well.. associated strings with waving trees.. percussion with basketball's thumping sounds etc... PH was following really well... he was clappng together with us.. swinging himself with arms high up, tapping the imaginery basketball etc.... it was really cute to see him enjoying n following the concert.. :)
