being a lazy bum, i quote from Wikipedia's entry:
Complaints Choir is a community art project that invites people to sing about their complaints in a choir together with fellow complainers. The first Complaints Choir was organized in Birmingham (UK) in 2005 followed by the Complaints Choirs of Helsinki, Hamburg and St. Petersburg in 2006. ... When the video clips of the choirs were distributed through online magazines and video sharing websites, the idea spread quickly to many other countries. To date additional Complaints Choirs have been organized in Bodø (Norway), Poikkilaakso primary school (Helsinki, Finland), Budapest (Hungary), Juneau (Alaska), Gabriola Island (Canada), Melbourne (Australia) and Jerusalem (Israel).

Channel News Asia and News on 5 ran the story and you were clearly seen at the choir rehearsal-(with a "bo song" look!) haha. Wife said it could not be you - such activities were too "Wu Liao" for you. I replied that such activities probably energizes you! Enjoy the performances!
