B2

B2? What's that??? Well, for those of you who were not fortunate enough to catch their maiden performance.....by the way,you didn't miss anything..hehe.... ( oops- shouldn't have said that - must give support all the way ...afterall, I dragged them into this...)let me explain.

B2 stands for 'Brothers Yee' ( Not THAT B2 in Bananas in Pyjamas, ok ) - 2 in Cantonese read yee...get it??? Oh well, I am not too creative so that's all I can come up with. Anyway, B2 is a band ( comprising the Yee bros), hastily formed to play at a friend's daughter's 9th birthday party. To elaborate, the theme of the party was 'American Idol', complete with 3 judges ala Simon, Randy and Paula, and all the guests were requested to participate.

So, to oblige the hostess who is a very good friend, I managed to convince the boys to perform, and to put to test all the money I spent on their guitar lessons. Ian (who never had the benefit of any lessons), was given a crash course in playing bass, and they had a grand total of 2 practices before the big event!!! Talk about speed!!

Nevertheless, they gamely tried their best, and with a lot of support from friends on the floor, pulled through the excruciating 2 and a half or so minutes!!! Suffice to say, the express manner in which the whole thing was organised showed, and I have to admit very reluctantly, my boys would have not a very bright future in a music career!!! But they did look good on stage!!! Gaya ada but talent....???? Better stick to skating :) Shucks...I was hoping some talent scout would show up and make them stars....haha..okok.. I know.....back to dreaming. Sooo...the band was just as hastily disbanded immediately after that first gig.

Good news is, they did win a prize ( although the hostess was very diplomatic in not giving any ranking to all the prizes ! All winners were ranked the same) and the sad news is that they did not get any recording contracts!!! ( But if anyone with taste (?) wants them to play at birthdays, weddings, funerals etc... - call me, ya? )

Oh, I want to add that Ryan was so enthusiastic that he snapped a guitar string during the performance although it's not obvious from the video!!!

I want to thank them for being so sporting to do this to please their old mom. Love you guys :) You are always top on my chart!!
