The piano at the recital room

Over the weekend the boys had their piano recital for 2014. Last year both of the boys performed at the same venue with Monkey boy doing a solo while Doggie boy did a duet with his teacher. This year was slightly different as both the boys were playing solo pieces.

This year Monkey boy performed the March in A Flat which is one of the exam pieces for his Grade 4 Practical Examinations later on in the year.

Doggie boy on the other hand played the Pumpkin Boogie. This year he was more confident performing and managed to play the whole tune from start to finish error free.

I was really impressed by the boys performance as they executed their pieces with confidence and really played well doing their solos.

Do your kids play the piano too?

Unusual Flowers from Garden At the Bay

A pink bloom

Flowers have always intrigued me. I’m still enjoying sharing the snapshots of flowers which I took when I was at the Garden At the Bay a few weeks back. In fact on that outing I took close to 200 shots!

It is really amazing to see so many different blooms housed under one roof.

Light pink bloom

I found this light pink bloom above really unusual. The flowers were pointing downwards instead of up and it had lots of tiny buds on a single bloom.

A mixed pink bloom

This was another pink bloom which I spotted that was facing downwards. This particular flower looked more dainty as compared to the previous one as it had stamens sticking out instead of buds.
