Surakarta, Indonesia

I will be in Surakarta, Indonesia from 25 October 2008 to 1 November 2008 for a one-week gamelan study/performance trip! I am very excited! :) It will be a nice short break from my cyclical, full teaching schedule, and I am sure I will come back refreshed.....and hopefully so will my students after a one-week break!...hee hee ;) Since Singapore is rather small, I believe that it is always refreshing to travel out of Singapore once in a while to "see the world" ;) Yippee~~

Thank you to Sze Wing, my student, for the hairpin....I still haven't figured out how to bun my hair yet.....I always love Sze Wing's beautiful and fashionable hairbuns.....Also, Congratulations Sze Wing on passing your ABRSM Grade 8!! :) Continue practicing hard for your Diploma! ;) Hee hee ;)

Tonight I will be attending Murray Perahia's piano concert after my piano teaching!! I am soooooo very excited!! :) However, I am a little stressed because I will have to wake up in the wee hours the next morning to catch my flight to Surakarta. I have finally finished packing though! :) Yes, a very stressful schedule, but I simply haaaavvveee to attend Murray Perahia's piano concert!! ;) Sooo excited! :)
