A Proud Dad!

Aqilah performed on the piano at the Espalanade Concert Hall on 3 August 2008. It was a first for us. It was Aqilah's first piano performance at the venue and it was also the first time that the rest of the family members were there. Being in the concert hall itself was an experience. It was majestic, something very opulent and grandeur. I cannot imagine the kind of words that are required to describe it. Watching my 7-year old girl play, even though for that momentous minute, I cannot help but to feel extreme joy as she overcame her fears and shyness to be part of the historic chain of pianists playing a very heavy piece. What's more important is that she enjoyed every minute of it and right afterwards, told my wife that she wished that there were always going to be opportunities for her to perform...... Alhamdulillah.
