Sunday in the park..

it's been a long long while since i've been to the Botanic Gardens for the SSO Classics in the Park series. i used to be a regular, but it was then with the Z-man.

Seemed so so so long ago.

i always do that you know? like have a regular haunt with someone special, and when that specialness wears off for one reason or the other...that thing or place that once was so central to my life...also fades into some dark history...a page in my life that i seem reluctant to turn back to. Ballet in the park was with the A-man. and Hey, it's been what? 11 years and I still haven't returned to catch the Ballet in the park.

The Z-man had a foothold on the SSO Classics in the Park and also Siloso Beach.

Well, i was sitting in a bus the other day when i saw the banner showing that the SSO was playing on the 10th, and conveniently forgot until Sunday morning. Luckily I-man wasn't too sleepy after his pond expedition to accompany me. We almost didn't make it because of the light drizzle, but i was really glad we went. The weather was lovely, and I had forgotten just how pretty our SBG is. And what better way to spend a lovely cool Sunday afternoon, but with a loved one, surrounded by greenery, and amused by gay classics like Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 !! My favourite!



oooo and cos it was the National Day weekend, there were many people in Red and white, and we were treated to 'Sketches of Singapore' a lovely collection of Singapore melodies.....i'm still humming to 'Di Tankong Katong'....

i must remember to learn how to play the cello before i'm 40!
