I attended a concert at Esplanade and bought a ticket for the VIP Box section of the Foyer Stall seats. This means that I was given a single seat which can be moved. It is not joined to the other 3 seats in my row.
I entered my section via a separate door which leads to another 2 doors. The usher asked if I was a friend of one of the performers. I guess few people go to this section. The ironic thing is that the real VIP was seated in the Stall section a few rows away from the stage.
The section was exclusive. Thus, when the other members of the audience and I exited it, people who were seated in the non-VIP Foyer Stall seats looked at us in curiosity. It felt nice to be regarded in this way :)
The most striking thing was that we were not elegantly or formally dressed. Perhaps that is why we had those looks. Lol. I realised then that being a VIP, whether real or otherwise, is not due to the clothes worn but to the cultured behaviour portrayed. I'm glad that I knew the correct moment to applaud after each performance by each choir. This makes me somewhat worthy of being in that section. :P Most people applauded after each song, but really, it should be done after all the songs by each choir. Of course, the real VIP was one because of his musical achievements in the history of Singapore's choral industry. Guess what, he wore simple attire.
