Car-Free Sunday SG



It’s the weekend again and the busy Bees are out looking for some fun. Being the last Sunday of the month, we headed down to Empress Lawn at VCH for the Car-Free Sunday SG.

 


On our way, WB3 being his cute self and I just couldn’t resist but to give him a poke!



There, we met up with Nila.

There were some fringe activities for the kids, including water coloring postcards, paper craft and plates balancing.

We got ourselves a postcard (only allowed to take 1!). WB2 choose for himself, one that depicts the VCH itself. I tried to tell him that the picture is the same as the actual building in front of us. “Same same” I said to him. And I got him to read from the card, “Victoria concert hall”.

It was nearing noon and it starts to get a little warm. I asked the WB2 if he wants to go inside the building instead. He thought for a moment and told me, “inside”. Ah.. so we adjourn indoors, into VCH. And what we found was a mini Mozart concert waiting for us. How delightful!

 


"Tada!", says the violinist from the 2nd storey

 

The performance plays Mozart, with segment including voice.
And also a duet.

 

What’s interesting about this duet is that both parties are playing from the same sheet of music score but from opposite ends of the table! This type of playing is known as table music.

Meanwhile, in the comfort of the building, WB2 is back to his energized self (he was getting a little lethargic just now out in the open). It took me a while to convince him to sit down quietly to listen to the music.

He has rejected the seat beside me on the bench, preferring the floor instead.
Just saw the news that Car-Free Sunday will be back only in Oct. So it'll be a while before we do this again. Meanwhile, watch this space for more adventures of the Bees Family.
