Babies Prom 2008

9 December 20084 Comments

We went to the concert last year, and we’re there at Singapore Symphony Orchestra‘s Babies Prom again last Saturday.

And this time round, with a really big group of friends too (there were like, over thirty of us on the front left of the Victoria concert hall!)

The day didn’t start that well for us though and Anya was feeling really ‘blue’ that morning (she didn’t get a good night sleep!).

She gave me the ‘sulky sad-eyed look’, and wasn’t interested in participating much.

She was feeling better towards the latter part of the day, but I can’t help but feel a little unsatisfied inside. You know, that she didn’t quite enjoy her time at the concert.

Especially since she had a pretty good time last year, with her once-in-a-lifetime ‘conducting opportunity’ and all.

[Towards the end of the concert, kids were allowed to go on stage and watch the performance up close]

Anyway.

As usual, ‘Peter Moore the conductor’ was really good with the young audience. The concert hall was packed with parents and children (and babies!). The tickets were all snapped up just as soon as they went on sale too!

Tips:
If you’re planning to go next year, find out when the tickets will be on sale, and be sure to buy them within the first few hours! Really, tickets do get sold out super fast!

    Ya, … unpredictable little ones. And I feel, how we cope and how we react to difficult situations will depend on our ‘expectation’ too

    When I think about it, I wasn’t that happy when Anya’s not enjoying herself at the concert because I unconsciously ‘expected’ her to enjoy herself, since all four of us were there, since we already bought the tickets … since .. since …

    Ya I agree .. got to control our own mind and temper ya …

    Don’t feel upset! Come to kids – there’s really not much I can do. Like Cayden – he has been pushing his luck recently. I just keep control my temper and still need to keep cool and explain to him. I know it’s hard but no choice=(
