Memories revived - "Kranji D’ Aesthetica!!"

Went for Kranji’s Performing Arts concert yesterday evening. Went with the idea of getting together with sec friends and reliving the days of being in the performing arts in KSS. At first, was still quite unsure of how to begin. So many ppl will be there, mostly Kranjians of course! Tried to get someone to go with me but to no avail. Most of those who I asked were not attending the concert lols. So in the end had to make my way there myself. Had to get the help of gothere.sg again hahas but managed to get there. All the while the only thought nagging at the back of my mind was, “Where and who to sit with?”
Was almost late when I finally alighted from the bus outside the Republic Poly auditorium. However, as I approached RP, still saw many ppl still hanging ard outside the auditorium so kinda relaxed a little. Then, I saw some close friends, YK and Emilia, up ahead, just heading for the auditorium as well. I made to approach them and got their attention. So I walked to the RP auditorium with them hoping to be able to sit with them and thus solve my problem of finding a sit. Fat hope! They of course had in mind who they are going to sit with and so again I was left alone. Since there was still time before the performance started, I decided to go to the washroom to avoid the huge crowd. Met Jiashun there and somehow made conversation. Was quite unexpected as it was he who approached me to say hello. Felt really glad though. Didn’t expect that! Hais...Finally still had to face the problem of finding a seat.
Felt really odd though, been to RP auditorium countless times before but was always entering the auditorium through the back stage in previous visits.Hahas, was a performer last time mah haha. Anyways, am a part of the audience now. Wow, never knew that there was a second floor hahas.. Noob!Followed the crowd to the second floor as the first floor was already full. Didn’t have to worry though, Jiashun offered me a seat beside him and although we didn’t talk much, it was still a start. Then I thought, “Isn’t the second floor usually where all the cheering and shouting come from?” Oh man, dun think I’m going to be all that high hahas. However, all was quiet from the second floor haha.
The performance began promptly at 7.30pm with the Choir as usual. Hahas, another reason why I went. Went as the alumni of Choir to give the Kranji Choir support and to hear a Gold Choir sing. Really proud of the juniors hahas.
So the performance carried on with items put up by the various performing arts( Choir, Band, Drama and Dance) and even had performances put up by the Sec2 enrichment programmes groups such as Flag twirling, Jazz Fusion and such. Too bad Street Dance wasn’t on the list, would have enjoyed watching that. After that, had a 15 minute intermission and sat with Samuel when I got back. Hahas, Samuel’s still the same, very high and told me to cheer for Choir’s next item. Agreed to do so but when the time came, still failed to do so. Hais..
The concert lasted till about 9.30pm and I left after that. Actually intended to go visit the juniors but asked ard and since not many of the seniors were ard and not many of those that came wanted to go, so left immediately after the show. Saw some teachers whom I was familiar with but didn’t go over to say Hi as they were either busy talking or chatting with students. Anyways, I was really tired already by that time.
Must say, our juniors didn’t let us down. A wonderful performance they put up for us. Hahas!!
Sure will buy tickets for the next such performance early. No hesitation next time. Hahas, money well spent. Besides the wonderful performance, also managed to meet friends and get together and relive the past hahasJ
However, did notice, as did many others of the alumni, that we didn’t recognise most of the juniors performing anymore.Of those performing, we recognised only maybe about a third of them, or less? Most of those we knew had already graduated or have stepped down lol. Sitting with us as audience liaoz. Time flies huh?
