An Afternoon with PSO

其实,一直以来我就有想过如果有机会的话可以带孩子去听一次交响曲,让他们看看交响曲的真实状况,我的脑里一直有着当年和樑一起在美国听的“Gretel and Hansel”的舞台剧,那真的是不错的体验,只是我也了解交响曲的门票应该也不会太便宜,所以就一直没去研究。 去年,翔参与了学校的小提琴班,他的老师将会在四月九日在Dewan Sri Penang有交响曲表演,在他第一次分享这资讯时,我也没去在意,因为刚好翔那天有Dynamic Kids,所以我就没打算要去了。 昨晚,收到小提琴老师的whatapps,说学校将赞助小提琴班的学生入门票欣赏交响曲,有免费的票就听起来好像还不错,我就问了问樑,结果他打算直接让翔skip Dyanamic Kidz去听,原来他也有想让孩子体验交响曲的想法。 所以,我们就向老师索取一张翔的入场券,还买了两张成人和一张小孩(芹)的入场券。 老实说,它的入场券在RM20到RM40之间算是便宜了,我想他们应该是想要让更多的人能够体验到交响曲而办的吧,我觉得给孩子一种这样的体验是不错的事,也感谢翔的学校董事慷慨解囊,让小提琴班的学生可以有这样的感受,这样孩子们可能会更有动了来学小提琴。

槟城国际华文书展 2014

昨天才去了槟城国际华文书展,还带着翔一起去,所以有点走马看花,其实这次去是为了买去年看到的二手英文书摊,可是没了,好可惜,而其它的书都没什么兴趣,因为今年算是买了很多书了,而且都比这次的书展便宜很多。 今年的书展,看上去比去年的少摊口,变小型了,而且展览时间也缩短了,可能是因为现在网购的广泛,人们也开始察觉那里可以买到更便宜划算的书了,反而开着店铺卖书的价钱却比网站上还贵。 网际网络开启了另一个购物平台,以后不知道还会有大型书展吗?

Logo's Hope Floating Book Fair is arrived to Penang from 25 August to 25 September, I was there at the second day of its opening, it was so crowded on Saturday, we needed to line up to get a pass from port officer before on board and there were still a lot of visiters waiting for boarding. Finally, we successfully on board and pay RM1 for entrance fee, which I think it was reasonable, because this book fair is supported by a group of volanteer from different nationals, where you could find there nation from their badge. It was my first time to visit a floating book fair on a real ship, this ship is travelling to different places for public to visit, their books' price is calculated by unit, which 100 units worth for RM8. To me, their story book price are fair and seem like cheaper than other bookstore, but their cookbooks price are not much different. Due to too crowded and limited exhibition space, I found hard to walk inside the bookstore, I found a lot of people just ...

Yes!! After I have been in Penang for 5 years, this is the first time that I can see such a big book fair hold in Penang, in Pisa Stadium, it took the whole level 3 for many different bookstore to sell their book in the same place, for 10 days (from 12 to 21 August, 11am to 10pm). Today is the first day of book expo, SL and I walked from our home to Pisa to see what are selling there, I had spent about 2 hours in the Arena, which is the second time that we can spend so much them in an expo, after Homedec April when we needed to research for our new home's items. In Pisa, I walked from store to store, table to table to dig for some interesting book, finally we spent some money to get some book that attracted us. However, I actually love some books that I didn't buy yet because I can't let myself to spend too much money in one shot, perhaps I will visit it for some other times since it is close to our house and will be there until next weekend. However, for bookworm,...
