Move It!

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes, how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee…?
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife…?
In 525,600 minutes, how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.Seasons of love……

That was a verse from the song Seasons of Love from the musical RENT.Yesterday my family went to watch Edmund perform.He joined this choir called The Young KL Singers and they came up with a production called Move It! in conjunction with their 5th anniversary.They sang a lot songs from musicals, folk songs from different countries and many more.This choir is not your average stand still choir,they dance and move about the stage.It was a very stunning performance!

They sang songs like Seasons of Love, Pie Jesu, Bui Doi from Miss Saigon, One Day More from Les Miserables, Magnificant Horses a mongolian folk song, Oklahoma, Autumn Leaves and a number of other songs.It was at the bangsar shopping center and Andrea(Andy) came along as well.Ed got the tickets late for us,so we were sitting on the first row and in the middle section some more...so the singers were like popping out in our faces.Some dance moves are very uncalled for and it almost scared me and Andy,it's like as if they are about pounce on us.Ed's expressions are priceless as Andy said and because of that my mom said he stands out a lot....We kept giggling when he came very close to us and most of the time he stand directly in front of me,so I can't help laughing.

The other singer I know is Angel out of the 50 there.Angel also happened to keep standing in front of me,and every time she looked at me I would smile and I think that made her giggle...hahahaha...I distracted her like 5 times di.There were alot of solo parts too and all the singers who did the solo parts have outstanding voices and they are loud too.They don't have cordless mics on only stationary mics hanging from the ceiling.Most of them are working adults and yet they are so talented.Me and Andrea are gonna join next year that's if we're still around and free.

It was very good!!When they bowed and was walking away from the stage,a lot of people were actually shouting encore...so were we...but they didn't come out again lar....The choir actually sang and danced with such enthusiasm and we can clearly see that they enjoy doing it not for money but out of their love for singing.There were a few guys in the choir actually had such good voices and quite leng chai...ehm ehm..they would flattened 'that Daniel" in Malaysian Idol as Andy said.All in all it was a very good performance......they are singing again at Pavillion.They are invited to do caroling and seems that my brother told me the pay is good...I wanna join too!!!
