we had like a half an hour break with some prepared refreshments

Cynthia singing opera

then rest of the songs played were

1. Sonata, 1st movement by Debussy (i was being immature and kept making fun of the name.lol.but this was a really beatiful song and if i'm not wrong, it has some asian culture mixed into it)
2. Liebesfreud (joy of love) by Kreisler (a kid who sat infront of us thought that they had finished playing when they hadn't and he started clapping.gawd.i couldn't stop laughing.LOL)
3. Invierno Porteno by Piazzolla (piano solo)
4. Romanza andaluza by Sarasate
5. Intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana by Mascagni (another really beauiful song)
6. Banjo and fiddle by Kroll (i like this alot cause it was really unique and its not like those stereotypical classical musical that can put you to sleep)

Banjo and fiddle were suppose to be their last song but they had an anchore and they played one last song called Summer in Bueno to fit Brunei's weather xD

we ended at around 10pm

people pouring down after the performance
