Ice Skating

We've been invited by 1 of hubby's golfing khakis(a retiree) to watch a 'celebrity' ice-skating competition - Ice Star Asia. Hubby has totally no idea that his friend's daughter's an local artiste, lolz.

He came home at around 4pm without buying any dinner home, so I have to rush cooking Renee's dinner, packed it up so we could dine out without having to wait for her to finish hers first. We were told to be at the stadium by 6:30pm and it was already 5:35pm by the time we were all ready to go, so we decided to go for fastfood since it'd seemed more feasible for the 20mins we've left for eating.

We rushed through our dinner and would have got there on time if not for the confusion of location. We've never heard of the Arina Stadium Waterfront and my GPS didn't help either. However, hubby still managed to locate it and we got there before 6:45pm. There was already a que outside the stadium and hubby went to look for his friend to get the tickets, whilst Renee and I joined the que.

The show's supposed to start at 7pm as indicated on the tickets BUT, it wasn't until 7:40pm before we were let in! Geez... Told hubby Renee had told her aunty Lili that she could join us for the show as she, being small, had not needed the ticket, hahaha(which of cos wasn't true, she'd thought of it herself) and whilst waiting, hubby suggested we tell Li to rush over and she might be able to make it. Haiz, if we had known that we'd only be let in at 7:40pm, we would have tried... Li, could you have been able to make it? :)

We were also made to sign a non-disclosure form as an agreement not to divulge the winner as this show has not been telecasted yet.

The area where we audiences are seated is cold though the stage, as we were told is warm(what with the spotlights, plus they're using the normal residential air-conditioning) and it was a good thing that I've washed a new jacket(she hasn't been really needing one for the past 1/2 yr) for Renee last minute last night.

The show was being run like it's on a live recording, so it dragged... due to wrong/stuttered speech, wrong position, tensed posture, whatsoever and by the time Renee's requested to go home, it was already past 9pm. My back's also abit stiff from the sitting in between hers and my seat, so I told hubby that we should leave as Renee should be hungry already too. So, it turned out that we needn't sign the agreeement afterall - 'cos we didn't even know who the winner is! lolz(except that we do know who the finalists are since we were watching the grand final).

Nope, no photography nor videography's allowed, so I've nothing to show here, :).
