Meg covering her ears as usual. She's half afraid of fireworks, half loves it!
The humidity of last evening almost dampered the visual spectacle that opened Singapore ArtsFest 2009 at the Marina Barrage. Sweat and heat made me wonder how the French artistes survived in their costumes and being around the flames and under the stage lights. But of course true performers don't let things like the heat and perspiration bother them. It's all in the mind..yeah right...more like the armpits, between the toes and folds of fat! It was Meg's and my first visit to the barrage. The humidity really got us down and although the place is quite pleasant, and has a good view of the city skyline, we couldn't wait to get home for a shower. One of the highlights of the evening was the shot burst of fireworks and pyrotechnics. The act itself was quite good, with performers on stilts jumping rope the way school kids do! That was quite a feat though they too had some difficulty and stumbled. But being 'chin chye' Singaporeans, we clapped all the same and encouraged them on. Am not watching any other performances this arts fest (this one was free). Instead, I'm taking Meg to children's plays and shows durig the June hols. We're staying put at home, not travelling out of the country even though I would love to. Attempting to save some money.
A rather underexposed shot of the city skyline, dominated by the Singapore flyer.
