Artistic Day

Chatted with sis till ard 1.30am+ last nite and slept till 11.30am+ this morning. Din want to wake up but it was damn noisy with the house phone ringing non stop and mum's voice was as loud as usual.

Met Web at 2pm and we went to the Singapore Chinese Orchestra Hall (SCO) for a short performance (with chinese intruments like Er Hu, Gu Zhen and Pinpa). Never been to SCO before and I had thought the performance is at the concert hall so reminded Web not to wear shorts and I myself wore a pair of shoes wore once, from Charles and Keith. The performance was only at the main lobby and a very short one (4 songs only) and wasted our efforts to dress up. The pair of shoes really tortured me through the day!

Anyway, here's some pictures of the SCO and the nice toilet!





The short performance was great except it was too short and we had to stand. There were surprisingly many people coz I din think so many people will appreciate chinese instruments/ music. I especially like the Er Hu performance, she really plays well. This group, four of them (all ladies) are from Shanghai Dun Huang School of Music and they really impressed me. Probably I never saw or had contact with such performance before. Its indeed not easy to play those instruments as some only got a few strings and need a lot of co-ordination with both hands playing differently.

Dunno where to go after that so took a train down to City Hall and had tea break at Burger King (need to sit!!). Sat around and shopped a while and proceeded to City Link after kmuch discussion to have our dinner at the Asian Kitchen. Had wanted to go Kopitiam to utilised my $25 off voucher but when we asked, they said cannot be used coz the promotion ended long ago. I had called couple of months back and the lady told me although the promo ended, we can still use as long as I have the voucher. I gonna write in to complain!

As everywhere is damn crowded, including the new place "New York New York" which took over the Nooch restaurant space had a very, very long queue!! There were at least 50 people or not queuing, cun imagine what time they can get seats! Singaporeans really got patience to queue...

So back to the Asian Kitchen. The stuff we ordered were great! Check out the pictures but some are quite blur coz one gal opposite our table kept looking over so abit paisay so quickly snapped.

Walked to Marina Square and shopped around until we were both so tired, especially me with my painful feet so we slowly crawl to the mrt station and took train home. We had anticipated huge crowds coz the NDP preview also should end around that time but we were lucky coz our train came before the one from the east side (people will cross over to change trains at City Hall stn) and it was quite empty (at least not packed with people).
