The setting for the 2nd years assessed performance is situated in the cafe of the Esplanade adjoining the library. As I chose the performance module, I've also had the opportunity to perform with the lecturer, Michael Spicer. The performance groups follow the same idea as those of at Keele, where students create their own groups and prepare for a performance. The performance showcased a wide variety of instruments from the common to the Oriental. This was the lar...

Today was the pre-arranged trip to Jurong Bird Park, we took the MRT to Boon Lay, then got the #251 bus. We were provided with free entry.The place of call was the penguins. They were amazing and I could quite easily watch them over and over, they were so graceful in the water and were incredibly fast swimmers, trying to take a photo was near enough impossible.

There's so many good shops here, lots of gadget shops and Japanese-inspired ones. Bought a couple of presents and did some window shopping. Came back and went to...

Took the MRT to Outram Park, then changed to the line for Marina Bay, took and the no. 402 bus, and voila, we arrive at Marina South Pier. Took a ferry, it cost $15 for a return to this island and neighbouring island, St. John's. St. John's Island was nice, but there's very little there- changing rooms, showers and a cafeteria (which wasn't open). It was an incredibly sunny day, so Nikki and I, sat on the beach and collected shells. The beaches were really nic...
