let the music speak

of thy greatness!

i went with mien on friday to enjoy a performance in the sydney opera house. it was brought by the australian philharmonic orchestra that consists of fifty talented musicians including the conductor. there were also one soprano, one tenor, one baritone, a young violinist and a choir of a hundred people bringing roughly twenty pieces of awesome performances with much touch of professionalism and experiences. it lasted for three hours with fifteen minutes intermission in the middle.

the whole performance was wrapped in a vienna theme, showcasing the waltz, polka, and marching rhythms. europe has a rich history of arts.

it all sounds rather cultured, apart from i had to walk barefeet on my way back from the bus stop to home. i chose to walk down the small path and after a few lookbacks, the walk seemed to be quiet enough in a broad summer daylight to take off my sleek semi-covered high-heels (not that high at all!). oh, and i smiled to an elderly taking a stroll with her grand-daughter as we passed on each other. four of my toes blistered! needless to say, i'm no beauty queen at heart ;)
