Graduation Concert 2014

This is the 4th year that I have attended the Graduation Concert and it is Lil Shauna's final graduation concert with Center of New Life (CNL) Kindergarten. Unfortunately, Daddy Lim couldn't make it and it is left to mummy to "double" support the kids. 

I have seen CNL made improvements to their concert since the 1st year that I attended. This year, the concert was held on a Saturday morning (usually weekday evening) and there was a bigger than usual crowd. The kids' costumes were so much more well coordinated this year. They all look the same yet different and the theme could probably be sequel this year - the kids all looked very shinny and reflective. Lol.

The K2 kids were to report at 9am, 30 mins before the other kids as they had to wear the graduation robe on top of their costume. I reminded Lil Isaac to use the toilet before his performance. He cried while on the stage last year bcos he needed badly to use the toilet and would have peed in his pants if mummy hadn't come to his rescue then. 

I only managed to take a picture of the little boy, who confirmed and re-confirmed that I would be watching him performed before he went to his class. Daddy Lim said that his costume looked very gay. Lol. I like this picture though - it is so rare for the little big to pose and smile nicely for me to take picture. 

The concert started at about 10am and the hall was filled with people. The front rows were reserved for K2 students' parents and we only managed to find seats at the outer aisles. The school also barricaded the front to prevent parents from creeping forward to try to take pictures. This happened all the time.

I didn't take many pictures this time bcos I would be buying the concert DVD and focused on watching the kids perform and smiling at my kids encouraging. The concert opened with the K2 matching in and collecting their certificates from the VIP. 

Then, the performed a song and I could see that the big girl wasn't her best self. Her little nose is dripping mucus and she was trying her best to concentrate while fighting with her running nose. Poor her.

Each of the class performed and so did the english, Chinese and music enrichment class. I didn't concentrate on most of them, only paying attention when my kids were on stage. 




The pre-nursery and nursery kids were so super cute. The K2 kids put up an enjoyable performance, which means that the K1 are the stuck in between and paled so much in comparison and they are also no longer cute. Lol.

The concert took over 2 hours including of the usual speeches and the sermon by the poster. The K2 students were given a little bear in CM uniform bearing their name. It is such a nice gesture.

Time flies so quickly. Wasn't it just a while ago that I first saw Lil Shauna performed on stage? How could it be that she's going to P1 soon? I am not at all ready. Lol.
