Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been up to.
Kenny Hill Signature Series
Roland Wang, a classical guitar teacher at Cristofori, recently acquired a Kenny Hill Signature Series guitar. I gave him some advice regarding the availability of Kenny Hill guitars in Singapore and he kindly reciprocated by offering to let me try his new guitar.
It was a composite top with a layer of cedar over a layer of spruce. It was a very nice guitar. It was powerful and very even with great sustain, clarity and separation. The setup was excellent. The slight relief and low action makes it easy to play while retaining plenty of headroom.
The response and projection were both phenomenal. Not only was it a great concert guitar, but it was worth every penny. I was very tempted to e-mail Kenny Hill to place an order.
I had a blast playing it. Thanks Roland.
I forgot to bring my audio recorder with me though, so I don’t have any samples.
Catching up with Divian
When I was studying at Murdoch University I took a couple of modules with 98.7FM’s Divian Nair. Recently, I’ve had the chance to catch up with him.
He was scheduled to interviewed the winners of NYP Jam! so my colleague Jordan and myself attended the taping to help facilitate.
I was Divian’s senior at Murdoch and graduated before him, and honestly we were only acquaintances, so I did not keep track of what he did after I graduated. He made some pretty interesting career choices that have clearly paid-off. Good for him.
Divian is a nice and likeable fellow. Very-well suited for the entertainment industry.
The Corp Comms Ninja pops up at Discover NYP
Years of working in the marketing communications line has taught me how to operate stealthily behind scenes like a corporate communications ninja.
But recently, I was spotted in the ‘wild’ in this Discover NYP blog post.
Unfortunately, the area for the interview was very tight and my photographer could not find a good spot so I was forced to use that photo.
This is the first time I’ve seen my photo in a publication I’ve worked for (aside from this website of course). I’m usually much more careful about concealing my involvment.
