Opera In The Park

Following the success of its first outdoor opera performance in 2008, Singapore Lyric Opera returns this year with not one, but two performances – Opera in the Park and Opera at the Race Course.

We went to the one held at Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage in Singapore Botanical Gardens. Since it was a Saturday, we were not surprised at the large turn-out rate. Everyone came with their picnic baskets. Singaporeans, expats, foreign workers...you could see that everyone, irregardless of race and nationality, were having a great time. Whether you appreciate opera or not, it doesn't really matter.

I hope in time to come, more Singaporeans are able to see that even though Singapore is a small country but there are still many things that is wonderful about this island...and the fact that i am now living in Canada doesn't change a bit on how i feel about Singapore. If anything else, i now appreciate a whole lot more on the wonderful aspects of Singapore. All I am saying is that there is never a country, a person, a husband, a father, a boss, a colleague, a friend that is 100% perfect. There are always positive and negative aspects of everything.

I absolutely hate it when people tell me that I am lucky to have relocated to overseas cos there is nothing to do in Singapore. To these people, it's not the country that is boring.....IT IS YOU WHO IS BORING!!!
