It’s the time of the year to throw party again. This year, instead of doing our own show, we’re gate crashing the government show. TECHVENTURE 2011 will be held on Oct 13 and 14. Depends on what attracts you, this might be a worthwhile networking opportunity, whether you’re from the western world trying to get ...
“Release us!” “I hold your oath fulfilled. Go, be at peace.” Sometimes, I wish HR managers are as humorous. * * * As the world mourns on the 10th anniversary of Sept 11, I heaved my own psychological sigh of relief. I admit, it’s quite hard to hold a grudge against someone in the system, ...
Counting down – actually unofficially I would have been done by the end of the week, but official records (due to some delay in EP processing 6 years ago) means I still have 3 weeks to go. If you’re HR, relax – just prepare my completion letter will ya? I’m now thinking of throwing a ...
Dear Friends, In the second concert of the “100 Years Later” trilogy, The Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Stravinsky’s popular ballet music for Petrushka – a brilliant drama of love and death involving three puppets in a Russian fairground. In addition, The Philharmonic Chamber Choir will present a tapestry of Russian folksongs, including those …
Thought I’d blog here instead of my regular official channel coz it’s not going to look regularly pretty and the thoughts are mostly mine rather than company view. First, kudos to the 4 winners of iChallenge. You’ll know who you are on Tuesday’s FMCC so have a good sleep. Also great work to all 10 ...
By Toshio Mashima. Great performance by Philyouth at the SIBF in 2010. Cultural soundscapes isn’t new – but I always wonder why the Japanese manage to create such a successful identity, whether it’s musical scales, native instruments, etc. and how composers generation after generation can keep drawing from the same elements to create more. I ...
Heard of Google Advertisement Preference? Marketing speak: “Make the ads you see on the web more interesting”. Lolcat speak: “TELL ME EGSAKTLY WUT URE LOOKIN 4 NAO!” Although I’m tempted to edit my preference, on second thought, it might be better as a feedback for me instead of me for them. Here’s a glimpse (I ...
Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. ...
Must be the food. Or the randomness of YouTube’s recommendations. Haven’t heard Symphonic Dances by Rachmaninov for ages. Every time I stumble upon it, I think of PSSO and my short lived time in Seattle. 1st Movement 2nd movement 3rd movement ...
Today is a random day. Well technically I was referring to yesterday since it’s past midnight now but I can’t sleep. Today also happens to be one of those miserable days, my only thought now that insomnia has set in is that I will write down how lousy today was, and hopefully someday in the ...
Nice Java app Learning more and more about what I’m leaving on this heap. Wordle only looks at the RSS feeds, which by itself doesn’t tell the whole story, but it’s a good pictorial indication of me: In the Music Category: Lots of Philwinds coz too many Philwinds concerts recently! That’s good. And WASBE too. ...
What a delight – it was one thing to hear the music, it was another watching this ballet, which made it totally accessible to the public! In ...
There aren’t many recordings of Philwinds at WASBE 2011 Chiayi City, Taiwan – here’s the 1st 2 movements of Marco Polo – The Cathay Years by Luis Serrano Alarcon. Probably recorded with a lower end camera as the lower resonance is not heard very well. Hopefully the organizers will have a proper recording in that ...
I’m going to start curating and collecting some portraits (especially these watercolor ones) residing all over the web. For you dear…
Just a learning to share with wordpress developers, and to seek some architectural comments. So today I was doing what every other wordpress person out there has been doing – leveling up my page by providing better information when people take my links and post into facebook. You know, putting that Like button in there. ...
Philwinds will be traveling to Taiwan to attend WASBE in 2 weeks time. We want to appeal for some financial support (especially for the younger musicians who’re still in school) to help defray the cost of travel. Here’s an excerpt from the official letter. Dear Sir/Madam, I am pleased to inform you that The Philharmonic ...
First time playing ordering role in video production – although the result turns out to be like some commercial for junk food, the effect and everything is quite memorable. ADV: Remember to submit an entry to the competition by the end of THIS MONTH! See six.sg/ichallenge for more info. Anyway, can give some comments – ...
Yay, SiX updates on my own blog :p It has been a tiring period of time recently as some of my teammates left without replacement for many moons. It has been a relief to see new blood finally arriving this week. Much of the work has been in the background since Accelerate 2010 and I’m ...
