SINGAPOP Saturday Nite!

Thanks to Yvonne, we got to enjoy 1950s -2000s pop music in Singapore on a cool Saturday nite (the rain threathened to pour & phew it was just light drizzling) at The Promontory @ Marina Bay.

The event SINGAPOP was presented by EDB (Economic Development Board) to celebrate the nation's 50 years of economic development. It was conceptualized by Dick Lee and it paid tribute to 50 years of pop music development in Singapore. SINGAPOP featured home-grown pop music talents from the 1950s, 1960s,1970s, 1980s,1990s and 2000s.

It was free seating and we went there an hour earlier, in the hope of getting seats with a not too bad view. Early goers filled the center aisle by the time we were there, but we were still happy with our side aisle. :) Even if we couldn't see well, we could listen. ^.*

Lin & I had takeouts for dinner. :) I had a sudden crave for McDonald's nuggets & Don Chicken Pie! Yum.

There was still about 45 mins before the concert started. And so, I went snapping away. :)

We love the stunning opening of the concert! Don't you? :)

It was a lively performance and it's amazing the vocals of the senior talents are still so strong & crystal clear. :) I think they enjoyed performing as much as we were watching! :)

We were on a lookout for Kit Chan & Olivia Ong! :) Lovely singing...

The finale song, Home, sang by all the singers simply warmed everyone's hearts. I called Ann immediately just so she could listen to it live! It wasn't performed at this year's national day parade and she was kind of disappointed. :)))

An enjoyable Saturday nite indeed! :) It was a good thing I dragged Lin out of the house! She had wanted to zzz her Saturday away.
