piano > violin ?

Tonight was the Accelerated Centre of Education (A.C.E) annual student concert and presentation night, at Bankstown, and Vicky and I were fortunate enough, or just plain bored, to watch the juvenile, amazing, talented children perform their lovely pieces of music and/or dance compositions.

Actually, the main reason we were there was to watch Minhky play the cello =) YAY!!! Unfortunately, to me, the violin practically overwhelmed the other instruments, though the piece (Waltz in A minor) was still a nice piece to listen to. May I also say that the ratio of piano pieces to violin pieces is quite great O_o. I swear, it's like 99% of the concert was piano pieces and the other 1% was on violin and/or dance performances. 

Minhky: back row, 2nd from the left- singing Beauty and the Beast.

The night began with the youngest, which gradually ascended into the older generation. Initially, I was patient and still, enjoying the sound of music echoing through the hall. Alas, that didn't last long. I became restless and tired as the concert was about to end. There were many times where I whined and complained to Vicky like she was my mum/aunt/sister/grandma =). Of course she never bought it. Damn.

There was this moment when the hostess came back on and she said: "Weren't they beautiful - " Now you'd think that she was going to comment about the performance, but she actually said "costumes" instead. It was hilarious, but I guess it was one of those 'only-funny-because-it-was-in-the-moment' things. Oh wells xD.

OH! There was this incident where a pianist was supposed to play Cannon. Unfortunately, I didn't recognise it because apparent, it was Cannon in C Major, by Ettore Pozzoli, not in D Major =.= it's not even from the same composer SHEESH! Cannon in D Major was composed by Johann Pachelbel. You know, as much as I like music, it can get pretty ridiculous when there's so many different pieces of music for the same composition JUST because they're in different keys xO! I was chucking a fit because I was annoyed at the fact that they didn't play Cannon when I was later informed by Minhky that they did play, but only in a different key *sigh*.

 FREE CHRISTMAS CANDY CANE YAY!!!

Me, Vicky and Minhky.

Vicky and I =).

As we departed, we received candy canes and lollies. Yes, it's an early sign that Christmas is coming soon and that

Santa Claus is coming to town...

=D Then Vicky and I went to eat before heading home, thanks to Vicky's parents. That's it for tonight, so good night everyone and sweet dreams!

PS. That indoor koi pond and garden in that Bankstown Club is AWESOME!!!
