Even Celebrities Fall

Last night I’ve had my third fall – to date.  It ranks 2nd in Daron Loo’s Hall of Falls.  p.s. the list of falls in the Hall of Falls is still to be expanded

#1 FALL – 2002?

PMC Tamparuli, Malaysia – A young aspiring pianist was walking towards the grand piano when an unprecedented fall stirred hushed giggles throughout the church.  It is reported that the pianist, who refused to be named, had stepped on an aluminum strip at the edge of the elevated stage where the piano was, slipped, and was on his knees.

#2 FALL – December 13, 2008

MC Church, Thailand – The now aspired pianist was helping clear away props for the AY Christmas production, Bethlehem’s Treasure.  It was done in a frenzy due to the incivility of an imposter (who stole this young pianist’s name,thinks his name is better just because it’s spelt differently).  While walking through a narrow aisle, the victim’s foot got caught in the floor-length curtain, and fell flat on the Styrofoam.  The chief decorator, who was a bystander, commented “the fall was so powerful that the air behind me stirred.”

#3 FALL – April, 2007

Jurong Church, Singapore – After more than a week touring West Malaysia and Singapore, the young aspiring pianist, who also sings on the side, was finally doing their last gig at Jurong Church.  The choir members thought that a good way to mark their final act was to sing shoe-less.  The ladies rid their stilettos while the men took off their shoes but kept their socks on.  This was due to the general assumption that ladies have more well-manicured toes. At the end of the first part of the concert, the young aspiring pianist/singer was walking down the steps of the stage, which had the edges laced with aluminum strips, AGAIN.  Well, he had socks on, and was stepping on aluminum, so go figure. 

More falls to come.
