Work trip and Esplanade Concert Hall in Singapore: Jul'2010

I'm having my internet standing log on at Changi Airport, Singapore: checking email and facebook account. It's a rare opportunity for me to check my facebook account from a computer :) I usually check it from my mobile phone. Still, there's nothing exciting on facebook account.

I'm in Singapore for two kind of meeting from Wednesday to Friday. I thought the first meeting will be a horrible one since I come alone facing some people who are expertise on their field. But, it turns out effectively and efficiently well :) Still, have only slept for 2 hours before the meeting (+ those sleepless nights for the past weeks..can't remember why) have given me the hangover effect without the vomit part. The second meeting is absolutely an interesting experience for me as I get to know to other colleagues from other countries.

The only time I spend out of my hotel besides attending the meeting is to Esplanade Concert Hall on Friday night to watch and listen to Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) conducted by Lan Shui. The first play is a familiar classical music for me (notes: no matter how familiar I am with the music, it doesn't mean I remember the title and singer/composer). I am very touched while listening SSO playing it. The violinist enter the stage on the second play...she's a great one. When she ends her play, the crowded still give the applause..more and more..and she gives us an extra play which is also touching. Then we have a 20 minutes break. SSO plays 2 or 3 more musics after the break. I always hate the ending part, because it has to be ended. 1,5 hours play always seem too short for me.
