A night to remember! My mum's best-friend had requested me to play the keyboard of my favorite composition, hence, I decided to play one of my requested piece by my best-friend, ' Read All About It' by Emeli Sande and although I wished he could be there to watch the performance live but both my best-friend were busy on that day. That certainly does not mean I did not have fun! Not only that I played the keyboard, but one of my closest-friend, Imran (Pretty Ugly), had asked me *at the very last minute* to sing a song with him (Amnesia, 5 Seconds Of Summer) and also he volunteered to do a freestyle dance with his teacher who also attended the event as the Emcee of the night. I honestly didn't know how he was gonna pull a freestyle just like that, but he did. I wished to record the "freestyle" dance of those who volunteered, but I also happened to be one of the dancers. *laughing so hard*
The evening started off with our professional Mr.Emcee who came out front without anything or any words prepared or written before the night and greeted the audiences friendly. Mr. Emcee invited the first performers onto our mini little "stage" to play their chosen pieces on the keyboard. Melissa and Aunt Lee Lian played it so well that the evening began to a wonderful nightfall. As it come to my turn on the keyboard, I was nervous and to think that I would be making a mistake was a mistake. I calmed down and pressed it gently, the sound of music appeared *not as in the MUSICAL*. Hence, I was excited to play the whole piece. Whenever I am on the keyboard or the piano, I would somehow go to my own Musicland *I like the thought of it*. As I was going to end the piece, I saw my ex-music teacher and how I miss her so much and ended it.
Jay Dee was our cutest and the a rocker performer, he showed up with his rocking toy guitar and streaming it while standing still there. *how cute?!*
After my keyboard performance was my singing staging. *Applause* then my friend and I realized that we do not have the speaker for the music *Laught Out Loud* to add to the problem, there was only one microphone available thus duet would have to be hard, it was hard. Al though it went well for me *besides singing-shouting*, we somehow couldn't feel the music because it was literally us doing the Acappella. I almost forgot about the "freestyle" dancing, I have no idea if I had looked stupid or silly, I couldn't imagine. All I know was standing next to me was my friends and family *doing the same thing I was doing*, dancing the most "freestyle" ways anyone could have ever seen. There was also Harlem Shake or some sort too. After the dance, I felt like I just worked out and out of breathe. The night continued with the violin and viola recital followed by the orchestral performances, I have never seen a guy playing a violin live before and they all sounded so beautifully. Their performances basically wrapped up the event as they ended the euphonic night with a melodious finale.
Apart from the music/singing/Acappella/violin/viola/keyboard/Harlem shakers, there was FOOD. Yes, free food.And free drinks. Free Satays. There was a buffet prepared for the audiences and the performers that night. It was a light dish, much suitable for late evening tea and dinner. There was Fried Mee Hoon, Satays, some chicken dish, mixed vegetable dish, Fried Rice and dessert just beside the Ice Lemon Tea dispenser. It was held on the 4th floor top garden by the barbecue pit and little green plants surrounding the barbecue pit. We were under the roof, in case there's a change in the weather forecast with glass-gated balcony around. From the top, there's the view of the swimming pool and the mini slide they have to the kids' pool. The breeze that night, as if we were in an air-conditioned room because it was chilly-cool evening. Simply said, PERFECT!
The pool was opened till 10pm so I went downstairs *literally down the stairs* and folded my jean and dipped my legs into the pool. (It reminded me of the Philliphine High School trip where I snuck to the pool area even though it was closed but no one caught me anyway.) I put on my earphones and put the music to the maximum volume and shuffle my player. Looked up the night sky and stars were merely so beautiful and then became invisible to the color of the darkness. Of course my thoughts were far off from where I was. *to be written on my other post* I was looking for something beyond my imagination too, I see the linings in the sky and almost cried because the night was alluring to me that I was engaging back to the past, the better and the worse.
As childish as we all can be, my friend splashed the pool chlorine water onto my shirt and jean and MY HAIR! I went home and conditioned it well because it literally smelled like chlorine. He was somehow disturbing my moment of thoughts and I was awaken by the splash. We played hide and seek, 2 children, 2 young teenagers and 2 young adults playing hide and seek at 9 pm by the playground and toilet. *laughing* Silly as it sounds, the point is, we have the ability to come out with the most childish game of all time.
-THE END-
