the singapore education system is full of shit.

Just got back from SSO concert. Barber's Violin Concerto and Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Mahler was simply amazing. Listening to the great work in the concert hall is definitely twice as moving as listening to recordings. Barber was good but the acoustics were not and Kam Ning was frequently drowned out.

It's been a long week. Signals storeman course starts on monday. Sextet has been fun but I need alot of practise... Time has been scarce lately.

I need to get back to composing. It's too much of a waste to leave good ideas on the shelf.

To a one-time friend

-

Hello my one-time friend! You've been gone so long and we don't talk anymore. I kind of miss those days we spent together... Those three years of close friendship. I admit I had (and still have) my failings. I was proud and self-absorbed alot of the time and probably not the most transparent person around. I guess we both were in some way. You do mean alot to me though it's kind of awkward thinking about it sometimes and I hope one day we will meet again. If you happen to read this, please do contact me!

Yours,
oli =)
