Unforgettable Cavalia

I got my girls and myself a special treat - to watch Cavalia! 
Cavalia is a Children's Day present for the girls, a post-PSLE reward for Marieann and a de-stressing treat for myself. However, Marieann was running a low-grade fever. :( I decided to let her rest and it was just Juliane and I going to the show tonight.
We arrived just before 7pm, took a few photos and launched straight into shopping of Cavalia merchandise before our show at 7:30pm haha. :P 

Just before we entered the big tent for the Cavalia show

From the moment Cavalia started till it ended, it was pure magic! :) The acrobatics, the aerial stunts, the music, the horses all integrated seamlessly together to bring forth a breathtakingly beautiful, haunting, and dreamlike show. My jaws dropped in awe when the horses first appeared. They are so beautiful! :) 

Show about to start soon :)

The end of the show. No photography during the show.

Beautiful photos of horses surrounding the big tent

I went a little crazy with my shopping haha. Spent about S$250 :P

I definitely won't forget Cavalia anytime soon. In fact, it brought back my childhood memories of circus and animals and also my first horse ride. :) I thought I enjoyed Cavalia a lot more than Juliane did lol. I doubt the children nowadays know how to appreciate such shows. 
PS. I also had a pleasant surprise at Cavalia, I met my friend and former colleague, Yee Zher and his lovely family. His son is 

Gangnam Style by Psy

This is the current rage all over the world: a song called "Gangnam Style" by Psy, a South Korean rapper. The video was only available to view from July 15 and as of today, it has been viewed 273,600,000+ times and has been liked 2.7 million plus times!  According to a post on the Guinness World Records website, it is the most liked video in YouTube history. :)

I have to admit the dance moves, although cheesy, are darn catchy lol.:P

Marieann's Pre-School Concert Performance

Today is the girls' Pre-school Concert Day, 9:30 to 12:30pm.

As Marieann was involved in the concert: two dance items, she had to be at the NTUC Building auditorium by 8:30am. That meant everyone had to be up early and were so by 7:15am. Marieann needed to have her breakfast first before putting on her make-up for her performance. Juliane watched as their grandmother applied make-up on her sister. Sorry, their mother, i.e. I am just hopeless and clueless about applying make-up. Lol. By 8am, we were out of the house.

We arrived at the auditorium real early at 8:15am. Maybe because it is a Sunday, it was so early in the morning, and the venue was in Shenton Way, there were hardly any traffic on the road. Marieann went backstage with her teacher while Juliane and us waited around. More and more parents with their children started arriving. While waiting, (time passed really slowly) I took a few snap-shots from the Sky Terrace of the buildings around. Finally at 9:10am, we could be seated in the auditorium. We were seated in Row K, 11 rows from the stage. Not too bad, not that far away, we could see the stage quite clearly. Anyway, we weren't allowed to take photos as the camera flashes might distract the young performances.

There was a Graduation Ceremony, followed by performances - 12 dance items and 2 Speech & Drama items and a Grand Finale "Heal The World". Marieann danced in two items: Sway/ Rock 'N' Roll Soniye and Honey. My oh my, I never realised that Marieann can dance so well! She refused to dance at home when we asked her to practise for us. She has must gotten my genes. LOL. Only joking. :P

The concert ended about 12pm. We went home for lunch and for the girls to rest. Tonight, we have another appointment at Vivocity for dinner. Busy, busy, busy. :P
