Windson (Liong) singing 'The Journey' from the musical The Fantastic Adventures of Jake and the Amazing Amusement Arcade.
My friend Eleine works at an events company, which was commissioned by NTUC Childcare to come up with a musical for their Children's Day event at Downtown East on Sunday, 30 September 2007. Eleine would write the script (including the lyrics) and direct, and she roped me in to write the music. For this project I've had the opportunity to work with old friends and make new ones as well.
After Moonlight I rush down to the D'Marquee at Downtown East where the event is to be held, hoping to catch a run of the show in full costumes, sets and lighting. I arrive just in time as the first song 'The Journey' starts, and begin filming it, when Florence (Eleine's boss - and technically my boss for this project) comes by and - well you can hear it on the video - good-naturedly chides me for shooting photographs, she does not know that I am filming. Anyway after that I decide to sit down and enjoy the show and leave the filming to the NTUC Childcare folks who will do so tomorrow with all the kids around, so hopefully I can get access to that.
