QUICKPICK at Chinatown

'Good Fren' and I made our weekly trip to Chinatown on Saturday afternoon. After the foot reflexology session and an authentic Teochew meal at the very nostalgic and Singaporean Lee Kui (Ah Hoi) Restaurant along Mosque Street, we headed to the Kreta Ayer Pavilion to catch a glimpse of the usual line-dancers.

That evening, the line-dancers were nowhere in sight.

Instead, we thought we were hearing things when we heard this youngster band called QUICKPICK singing in Hokkien.

The large crowd, though highly sedate initially, starting to show signs of enjoyment. Waving of clappers, clapping loudly, and some shouting and singing along.

What did I tell you? They are really young, and do not look like they can manage dialect songs at all.

But QUICKPICK proved to be entertaining. The crowd was happy.

Especially with an accessible name such as QUICKPICK, it's endearing. Check out their Facebook page. It has vids of their performance at Kreta Ayer. Apparently, their first all-Chinese-y performance.
