ChildAid

I attended the ChildAid concert last night with Vicks, Musa, Jeremy and Dai Wei. One of the performers was this eight-year-old harpist who was absolutely adorable. He was short and pudgy abd walked around with an effeminate sway of his hands and legs. He was even shorter than his harp lah, for goodness sake. But he was sooo cute. You should have seen the look on his face as he caressed his harp. It was sheer bliss, like the harp was the dearest thing in the world to him. Then afterwards at the finale he stood on stage with the rest of the performers holding a flower in his hands. He looked so blur just standing there with the flower. Then as he walked off he waved the flower at the audience. SO CUTE! Oh my goodness I think I've gone slightly paedophilic after seeing him. Child harpists. Fantastic stuff.

The rest of the performances were good too. Several of them were marred by bad lighting. Who shines green spotlights (four of them) into the audience's face when the opera singer on stage is extolling the virtues of love and kisses??? And the lighting during the performance by 3dash1, the winners of this year's School of Rock competition, was horrendous. Just a mish mash of lights being flung all over the place. It hurt the eyes and did little to help the band, whose songs we could barely hear... I never likes rock anyway...

Abigail Sin was good. I've never seen hands move so fast on a piano before. Musa, for some reason has a problem with piano playing, which he forgot to tell me why! Oh yes, Nathan Hartono. His name made me wonder why we pronounce the President's name as Na-thun, whereas normal Nathans are pronounced as Nay-thun. haha. But he sounded quite good anyway. I think he has a growing fan club.

ugh, I still feel sleepy. I went to bed so late...
