Dinner with Peter Pan & Supper with STOMP!!!

Do you believe in fairies... - Peter Pan

Yup! I didn't brag hor! It was a totally awesome experience on the 1st Oct 2005! Listened to one of the BEST live performance by a choir, Ever! To add to that, it was really close up! Was juz standing around 10m away from the choir from the musical "Peter Pan"!

How did it happen? Well, my group and frens and myself were looking for dinner place before the STOMP performance at the esplanade when we chance upon a whole group of people doning the "Peter Pan" musical tee. Seen the commercials for Peter Pan for quite a number of times while watching the adverts on Kids Central (",) hee... sorta recognise a few faces...

The excitement didn't juz start like that... we saw mics being set up and the stars of the show having their dinner in Thai Express. The place was packed! SP and myself had to settle for a faster meal at Garlic Restaurant, while the rest tucked into Thai Express. Lucky for us they're there. Sneaked into TE after our dinner to catch their sneak preview of the musical! The choir was perfect! Their notes were so crisp and clear, and with that type of volume right after they had their dinner, I can only stare in awe :P They didn't need to warm up at all! The voices juz serenated the whole stretch of restaurants...If only I have a bit more money in my piggybank, then i'd surely start jio-ing pple for the musical :)


STOMP was rythm-perfect! The performance started off with them, playing ard with brooms! The lighting, the reception of the sounds, and the energy of the 8 members got me nodding my head to the rythm, almost none-stop throughout the whole performance! haha.. got my stiff neck after which :P STOMP didn't use words during their whole performance. They spilled water into the crowd, did the clearing of the stage with the lights on, made it so much like part of the whole performance. The smallest-sized member of the group was really hyper flexible and acrobatic! He flipped, and turned and churn out loads and loads of laughter from the crowd :) Fantastic!

Love to have their sense of rythm if possible. Would surely be great if I can be part of the performance :) Had a STOMP-like performance in hall before, but it was rather short, and we had to practise for a long long period of time juz for the short 2-3min performance. If only we had a STOMP cultural group in hall. I'll definitely be the first to sign up! ;) haha...

Supper with STOMP! The six of us, SP, Rina, CK, Gerri, Desmond and myself (left to right) were having Supper at the eating place beside the esplanade when we chance upon the members of STOMP! Was contemplating whether we should ask for a group picture before the 6 of us finally pluck up our courage to walk over. It was so much of a coincidence! They were juz eating about 2 tables away from us :) hee.. *happy!*

That's not the end... as we were grinning from ear-to-ear about the pic we juz took...I saw 5 more familiar faces as we made our way to the bus-stop!! The other 5 STOMP members!! Can't believe my luck!! Quickly rounded up my frens and pointed excitingly to the table right beside the walkway to the busstop! hee.. Hmmm..can't upload the pic..wasted :)

In any case, It really rounded off a great nite out! STOMPS FANTABULOUSLY AWESOME!! *grin*
