About two weeks ago (11.22.2008, which strangely feels like ages away, possibly due to my deteriorating memory), I got the chance to watch the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Rockettes, thanks to Pei Ying's aunty B-Lee.
I started out the day by playing some badminton with Wei Ping, Billy and Jason in CCRB. Right after that, we (plus Pei Ying and few more people) drove to Novi to get Ajishin for lunch. The noodles was again heavenly, especially after the long wait in line. We split ways after lunch, with just Nabil, Pei Ying and I heading to Detroit to catch the show.
The Rockettes is a precision dance group which performs in Radio City New York. Every year they have this Radio City Christmas Spectacular at the Radio City Music Hall and also some other American cities including Detroit. The venue of the Detroit performance was Joe Louis Arena, the home for the Detroit's ice hockey team.
The Rockettes' famous routine includes the eye-high leg kick, not unlike those kicks in the french Can Can (got this feeling although I am not familiar with that). Also, I enjoyed the toy soldiers performance a lot. Overall, it was a great show and a great way to kick off the holiday mood for the season.

Amazing Toy Soldiers Performance
The bus actually moves, and the background was actually a screen that shows the New York streets
Santas. One comment: I hate it when Christmas shows have to somehow squeeze in the "I Believe" cheesy theme...
After the show we went back to AA and had dinner with Seng Khai and friends. Had another badminton session in NCRB before calling it a day. It was a tiring but satisfying day I'd say...
