A conservatory student came by on Saturday to listen to Xpose rehearse, and to find out more about the niibori instruments. As it seems, she was asked to compose a piece for a guitar quartet/quintet. I thought it was for the June concert next year, but she mentioned that it was to be premiered during the NUS Arts Festival 2009, in a fringe performance, which I thought was a less than delightful choice of event.
Anyway, on the upside of it, I think we've come a long way to have local students compose for a guitar instrumental group. Sure is some good news.

Visit to the Singapore Flyer
Visited the Singapore Flyer today with a couple of staff from school.
Quite scenic from above I must say, but I kinda feel that there's something wrong with the air, or the air pressure. Seems harder to breathe. It's amazing how much money Singapore has invested in setting up the vicinity of the integrated resort.
Frankly I wouldn't like to have a meal up there. (just in case there's throwing up)
Some of that walking reminded me about the feeling of "going places". I think it's seriously time to look at travel plans!
