I went to the Esplanade last week for a brief tour.
It was a great place to experience the arts. There's this concert hall which is simply amazing. There's an organ with huge, tall pipes and the walls can be tilted to refine the acoustics of the performance. And the floors....the floors are hollow. The guy who brought me for the tours said that the concert hall resembles a submarine, it traps sounds so as not to disturb the other performances in the same building. There's a lot of thought going building this masterpiece. My personal opinion is when the Esplanade opens on the 12th October, the critics will be silenced. Some members of the public are calling it names, like durian or peanut building or what not, but they have never been inside.

It's just like that Singapore guy who conquered North Pole. Some people say that he did'nt really conquer it because there's a guide with him. It's just sad that people reacted this way. We are a bladdy small country so pls support someone who has the dream, spirit and tenacity to pursue it.
