My Hat Off to Esplanade

My family and I was at the Christmas Concert in Esplanade Concert Hall by SSO or The Singapore Symphony Orchestra. The Children Choir was a little slow. The orchestra is magnificent. The traditional Christmas was full of energy and power. It was very vibrant and interesting to see the musicians working in unison. I must say I enjoyed the music so much. After the concert, B3 was hungry and wanted McDonald. We walked over to Marina Square and bought ice cream for him. I had ice blended mango. After our late night snacks, we walked back to Esplanade carpark. I put my right hand into right pocket to reach for my car keys and it was not there. A sense of panic and nervousness started to rise from the pit of my stomach to my chest. I think hard and force myself to be calm. I asked a cleaner if I can get back in the concert hall. He told me to look for the security guard. I saw one at the upper floor and raced to him immediately and told him my situation.
He call on his walkie talkie and asked me to wait. A few minutes later another security guard come over and together with another colleague escorted me back into the concert hall. I raced my seat or what I thought was my seat, bended down to look when I heard a yell. Here it is. The security guard was on one row lower and he can see the floor of my row clearly. There was my car key.
To the security team in Esplanade, my heartfelt thanks!
