February 16, 2013 was the day when I participated in my first CIP programme at SAF Yacht Club in Changi Clubhouse. The programme lasted from 5pm to 9pm and Chinese Orchestra played four songs included Chinese New Year and Spectrum songs (refer to old posts).
I remembered reaching Changi Clubhouse and saw many construction sites. The clubhouse was located at a spot where I do not think many people will ever visit there unless someone has brought you there before. Once CO reached the SAF Yacht Club, we alighted and I carried my heavy instrument all the way to a conference room (with sea view). :) We had McDonalds for dinner and soft drinks were provided.
The first set performance for two CNY songs started at 7.30pm and the second set at 8.15pm. After CO played the two sets of songs, the host said, "How about one more tune for us by the Greenridge Chinese Orchestra" and the SAF Yacht Club members cheered. At first we did not know what to do and finally we decided to play "Roly Poly" which received positive reception. Overall of the five songs received standing ovation and our teacher gave every members an Oreo as a reward.
As this was my first time going for an event like this, it was a rewarding and a great experience. I hope to go for more events like this! ^^
P.S. I will post more about how I felt about this place next time.
