December Rains is a love story, that kind of love that invites endless joy and perpetual pain. It is 1950s Singapore. The innocent relationship of a pair of young lovers is convoluted by strikes organized by Chinese students, a marriage of convenience and strong parental disapproval. The symphony of pain resonates to a third party who is waiting desperately in vain for his unrequited love. In 1980s, past grievances and mistakes are contagiously wounding the younger generation. Only a personal sacrifice and the surfacing of an undelivered love letter would resolve all these entanglements. However, no one knows when the rain will depart in December.

DECEMBER RAINS is created by the pivotal figure of Singapore Mandarin Pop, Liang Wern Fook, composed by Jimmy Ye and produced by celebrated show producer James Toh. Directed by multiple award-winning Director Goh Boon Teck, this coming new staging starring Singapores international singing sensation Kit Chan, Broadway Star George Chan and Singapore-Hong Kong theatre luminary Jeffrey Low is a dream production that promises to wet your eyes and melt your heart.

The Final Roar at Singapore’s National Stadium
Posted: 28 June 2007 1044 hrs

Come Sunday, Kit Chan will hold the distinction of being the last singer ever to belt out a song in front of a crowd of thousands at the National Stadium.

That’s something definitely worth bragging about, considering that the venue has played host to the biggest names in pop music: Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson.

And aptly, Chan, 34, will be performing ‘Live Our Dreams’ at Field Of Dreams — A Tribute to the National Stadium, the stadium’s official closing ceremony on Saturday.

The song was commissioned back in 2005 by the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) for Team Singapore in preparation for the country’s participation in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games in Manila.

“It’s the most appropriate song,” she said in a phone interview yesterday prior to official rehearsals tonight. She then recited a lyric from the song written by David Tan and composer Thomas Schönberg: “There’s no place I’d rather be.”

“This song is about the sportsmen and women of Singapore,” the regional superstar said, adding that she’ll be getting help when Team Singapore members — from anywhere between 30 and 100 — who will come on stage for the chorus part.

“It’s a very ‘We Are The World’ thing,” she said with a laugh. Chan admitted she has never actually performed the song live, as only a video was made for TV in 2005.

Field Of Dreams, which is organised by SSC, kicks off with a rocking set by the John Molina-led band Krueger, followed by a short friendly match between legendary footballers from Singapore and Malaysia, including Fandi Ahmad, Quah Kim Song, Samad Allapitchay and V Sundramoorthy.

Team Singapore athletes, led by ex-national sprinter C Kunalan, will take charge of a lighting ceremony before Singapore faces off against Australia in a match.

After this, father-and-son sports presenters Brian and Mark Richmond will host a tribute video presentation before Chan takes to the stage — as a symbolic caldron flame is doused.

It is a fitting moment for a singer whose career has, in some ways, been associated with the Grand Old Dame.

Chan has performed for two National Day Parades at the stadium. She first sang the theme song ‘Home’ in 1998.

In 2004, she did a reprieve during fellow Singapore singer J J Lin’s hip-hop rendition of the same song. This year, she is set to sing the theme song — but the festivities will be held at the 27,000-seater Marina Bay Floating Stadium, which is currently under construction.

“I’ve sung on stage at the National Stadium three to four times for various events, but the most significant would be in 1998. It was the first time (a) song for the National Day Parade (was sung) and everyone was ‘kancheong’ (Hokkien for “uptight”).

I wore a big burgundy gown and high heels, and walked down an incredibly steep flight of stairs,” Chan reminisced.

Singing at the home of the Kallang Roar has always been a unique experience.

“The stage is 360 degrees and there’s no other venue that will give you this kind of feeling,” she said, adding however that the place can be a nightmare for performers.

“The echoes will kill you, and you have to rely on ear monitors all the time!”

Like everyone else, she has her own memories of the place — and not all of them from the stage. Recalling the national sports meets she attended in her younger days, the country’s first National Youth Ambassador said: “I used to be a cheerleader at Raffles Girls’ School and we were notorious for being very loud!”

But in the end, practicality wins, she agreed. “As much as you love her, the National Stadium is kind of crumbling. You can never be too sentimental especially when it comes to stadiums that hold sports events that need state-of-the-art facilities. But it is good that we are able to end on a big bang.”

And a Big Bang it will be, courtesy of a fireworks display after Chan’s performance.

After which, the second part of the night’s festivities begin.

The pitch will then be transformed into a dance floor for LightsOut, a dance party with Zouk DJs B and Andrew Chow spinning hip-hop and a mishmash of retro music from the club’s iconic Mambo Jambo Wednesday nights. According to Zouk marketing manager Tracy Philips, around 6,000 people are expected to join in the fun.
