Graduation Concert

So quickly and a year has passed. The kids were having their Graduation Ceremony this evening. 

I rushed home to help them prepare and make-up.

This is the 3rd year that I am attending. Last year, Lil Shauna performed on the stage and we brought Lil Isaac to watch. I was so busy trying to keep him entertained, walking the hall while waiting for jiejie to come on stage. This year, both of them went on stage so Daddy Lim, Popo and myself sit leisurely while waiting for them to come on stage.

Having attended the concert for 3 consecutive years, I already knew what happened when. Their concert has been improving in terms of variety. However, the number of students had increased over the years and there were way too many items. The concert ended at almost 10pm! Some of the items were pretty messing and I even got bored waiting for my kids' turn. I bet I wasn't the only one.

This year, they filmed graduating students sharing what they wanted to be when they grow up. I think Lil Shauna would do that next year and I wonder if she would declare on video that she wanted to be a farmer. Haha, yes, that is her ambition for now.

Lil Shauna did brilliant on stage, as per all her past performances. She was even chosen to make a short introductory speech in Chinese before her item this year. I was so proud of her. Lil Isaac's first item went great too. He was way too cute.

The siblings had a chance to go on stage together this year. They are both in the Chinese enrichment class and the students in the enrichment class performed 2 Chinese songs. When they went going up the stage, I saw that Lil Isaac was crying and I had thought he was scared. I tried to make eye contact and encouraged him only to realise that he was tugging at his pants badly and seemed to need the toilet. Then again, he didn't dare to move away from his allocated position and looked so miserable. I managed to rescue him midway and he was already starting to wet his pants. Poor boy! 

That episode left him pretty miserable and I think he didn't quite enjoy the rest of the concert. He had to perform in the finale with the rest of the school and he merely stood on the stage tugging at his wet pants. Lil Shauna was the total opposite and flashed great smiles as she dance to the finale.

Overall, it was pretty good and I could see the mega efforts both by the teachers and students. Next year will be Lil Shauna's last time. Sob, they are growing up so quickly!
