Flippin’ Singapore…
May 27, 2009

So I got back from Singapore 2 days ago and I can quite safely say that I’ve recovered. Yay! I took a pathetic amount of photos thanks to the mixture of my laziness and busy-ness, so these photos you see her are really all I took of Singapore.

The performance was held at the Esplanade’s outdoor theatre and that’s all of us with the crew (above) setting up for our sound check on the first day. Rehearsals and sound checks were held on a daily basis and were very weird; because we were in an open area, we had lots of passer bys popping by to listen and watch. When we were rehearsing pieces and were taking orders from Susan (our musical director), it was even weirder – we had people taking pictures of us; some even clapped mid way through the songs!

Performances were thankfully held in the evenings (the days were really hot). We played eight sets of songs in 30 minute durations over the next 3 days. It was awesome. We had a good reception, very friendly responses and were stoked to say the least. If all goes according to plan, we’ll be back in Singapore in the near future. Watch this space!

Hello there!
Yes, it was a wonderful experience. First picture was taken at Bugis street. The girls were fascinated with the shopping…I was looking at windows -_- But that’s really all the ‘arty’ photos I took – got lazy!
