Ballet Under The Stars 2009

When Meekfreek invited us to go to the Ballet Under The Stars @ Fort Canning, I thought it was a great idea (because of the picnic)! Being kiasu Singaporeans, we went there early and even brought a ball to play in the field. To my surprise, there were so many people going to the event! I laid my picnic mat and took out my handphone to message the rest that we had arrived. After pressing the "send" button, I saw somebody laying their picnic mat beside ours already! No space for the rest!! Luckily WG came after a while and she squeezed her mat on a small area behind us. And clever Meekfreek did "land reclaimation" so that all of us could be together.

Needless to say, we didn't play the ball in the field. Jaimie had some fun rolling the balls with Meekfreek, Faith and Izzy on the mat instead.

Here are the photos Clement took with his DSLR.













The weather was great! It was cloudy and windy but we still perspired a lot. We had yummy yummy food for the picnic and the girls had a great time dancing, playing with the light sticks, disturbing other audience and claiming that they were the lucky draw winners.

The performance was entertaining, especially the finale. Seeing the ballerinas dancing so beautifully on the stage makes me want to let Jaimie learn ballet too!

Jaimie, ballet for you??? Yes?

It was a great night! Thanks for inviting us to the event, MF!

Glad we could all get together. I really like evening picnics....we should look out for the performances at the Botanic Gardens so we can do it again!

Errr...why do I look so surprised huh?
