Hot Date to MPO
A couple of weeks ago, JR asked me out on a hot date to the MPO. It was my first time watching a live orchestra, what more with funnyman Carl Davis as the conductor. Our MPO hall was indeed world class, all the instruments sounded crisp and clear without the need for microphones. For me it was a grand experience, especially when they performed the excerpt from The Nutcracker…which was simply beautiful except for the choir. The Soka Gakkai children’s choir performed for some Christmas carols (which I thought was so ironic), and they didn’t impress me one bit. It was a feeling like drinking the best coffee in the…

Lights
wall2 Hosted on Zooomr I’m recently very obsessed with pics of street lights captured in slow shutter speed, with all the colours, in straight lines, with emphasis on perpectives.

I find most of these pics on deviantart and just add on the scriptures for use in church.

If you’re going to Scoop,…

I didn’t want to stay the Big John’s this time due to the not so nice service the last time, so I chose to stay at YHA Hostel Thailand for its convenience to the Skytrain, only 10 minutes walk away. If you’re looking to book a hostel, try Hostelbookers.com coz you don’t have to pay extra deposit. Anyways, I got to Bangkok city only in the night. Headed straight to Suan Lum Night Bazaar. It…
