Haven't been listening to stuff for almost 2 weeks. Now I'm listening to...

1) Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night On Bald Mountain and Other Russian Showpieces




2) Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade Op.35 and Igor Stravinsky's Song of the Nightingale




Both CDs are under the RCA Living Stereo recording, played by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner.

Yesterday a colleague of mine just ask how come the title of our coming Christmas production "Sincat's Rough Sea Journey, A Children Christmas Service" is so long and weird. I couldn't really give him a good answer because i thought it wasn't that bad cos I know of longer and weirder titles.

Ever since I started to listen to classics, I cannot understand many titles of the music but yet music communicates beyond using words and it flows on a different level. Similarly photography, art and dance do the same of speaking differently.

I was introduced to aerial photography of Yann Arthus-Bertrand by my wife because the frenchman came to her office yesterday. He needed a helicopter to fly over Bedok resoviour for some shots. If you are arty farty you will like his work http://www.yannarthusbertrand.com/index_new.htm . If you are not, you might just like my colleague Steven Yeoh's.
