Last Sunday, we went to watch the drama by Tick Tack & Tock: How the Tiger Loses its Stripes.
Getting them ready to leave the house was a challenge. Particularly dressing up Miss Vainpot. She insisted on wearing a knitted cardigan over her dress, put on her accessories like ring, bracelet and necklace and not to mention choosing her socks and shoes (not that she's got a lot of choice for shoes).
Because 'monkey see and monkey do', Zhi insisted on wearing Thomas & Friends cap while acting up like a doctor by bringing along the ice-cream stick that the PD uses to check his throat.
Ok, back to the main topic. Basically Tick Tack & Tock are the three actors in this drama and they're going to share the story of how this Tiger Snigger loses his stripes while playing in the mud (the mud covered his stripes and made him looked different).
It was Zhi's first exposure to drama/play since it was written that the drama is suitable for children above the age of 2. We wanted to see how he reacts to shows because in the next half year, there're definitely a lot of kids' play coming up by the various theatre groups. We would like to bring him along if he's 'tame' enough to sit still and appreciate. Too bad, he was too distracted and was jumping around. Until his sister volunteered to participate in one of the acts that he finally look up at the stage. And thats when he started screaming,"jie-jie... jie jie.." Like Ning was some super big star.
Nevertheless, we did have some fun time after the show at 'Colours by the Bay' playing hide-and-seek with us and some other interested kids.
The funny part of this entire thing was Zhi pointing at the Merlion and shouted,'Dinosaur!'. And keep insisting even though WF told him is a Merlion.
