I wish , I pray for a good weather just to enjoy kuching food festival.
however, my wish was not granted, drizzling still continue. Never mind at least i still have the experience to tour kuching food fest in the rain. ^0^ new experience holding an umbrella, walking around, buy food. hahhaa the most interesting part is see your friend eat with head link to shoulder. using shoulder and head to grap on to the umbrella, while both hands was busily swapping food to mouth. a truly unique picture that can obly view during rainy day

Kuching Dance Festival 2010 - part 1



25 July 2010

Thank to Tyng Dance Academy, I got a chance to attend International Belia Dance Night 2010. This concert was held at Borneo Convention Center.

The program tentative was

Since i miss the first International dance festival, I will not miss this chance again.

First time drive to Borneo Convention Center, I like the fact that the parking is free. phew ... can save a bit.

It is very big and modern building. The main gate was facing a river and from the balcony / parking drop off point, we can see beautiful sunset.

Back to the topic, the event of the year. Got the chance to see different kinds of dance from different country. In my opinion,

The most touching is "faraway dad "dance from one of the china troupe.
synopsis of faraway dad
in china, some of the parent need to leave their children at the hometown for a better life. They will travel far to the city to earn living. Thus the only communication between the parent and the child was weekend phone call. the dance really show every little details of the reality.

This bring back my memory. Last year I travel to china to visit my dad. we are lucky that one of
dad's friend(Mr A) invited us to experience China ancient village lilfe style / kampung lifestyle in yancheng , 盐城. Mr and Ms A work in Shanghai and only gone home twice a year. Thus, they pack lots of things for their family members in their hometown. The most important was they finally have the chance to reunion with their little girl. During the journey, I can hear that Ms A was chatting happily with her daughter (Girl A). A series of events was plannedfor the home coming.

Once reach the yancheng home, Girl A rushed out to hug her mother. touching was the only word come to my mind. Family love was always the best. During the 2 days stay in 盐城, Ms A will buy any things Girl A ask for. Girl A was an obedient and filial girl. all she ask for was pigeon soup and some tidbits. During every meal, I witnessed Ms A was happily cooking all the dishes for her little girl.

At the end of the home stay, Mr A's family hug tightly to each other. Once a year, they can only met 4 time. They really treasure the moment together.

This dance really bring back my memory and i can't help think Girl A and my parent.


The most sexy dance is belly dance from Indonesia
shimmering was consider one of the most difficult dance movement. But, it prove me wrong, the dancer can easy dance out. her belly was shilvering gentlely and her move capture my heart. all her movement was so sexy that my eye could not leave her. I believe all the photographers agreed with me. because the clicking sound was greater during this performance.


The most visual effect was korea dance from hong kong troupe.


The story that can get across me was"the story of white crane"
The most memorable opening - sarawak troupe

World Rain Forest Music Festival 2010


I finally got the chance to join World Rain Forest Music Festival.
Thank to celcom, I got the chance to get student ticket. it really save me a lot of money. thus extra money can be spend on travel expenses , food and beverage.

9am- eat green noodles at 3rd mile. happily eating dumpling "yuntun", green noodle, soy bean and toast bread. the green noodle is made up of spanish vegetable. I prefer the charsiew greeen noodle. it taste better because the char siew is really delicious and yummy. while the ginger duck green noodle is too oily.

10am- chatting till we almost forget the time thus we quickly pack and travel to sarawak cultural village.

11am- reach Sarawak Cultural Village. weird why less people. but before mentioning o the crowd. the shutter van service. Due to some reason they blocked away the Sarawak Cultural Village parking lot, thus we need to park our car at santubong resort.

the distance from santubong resort to sarawak culural village(SCV) is hmm far, quite far actually very far. thus we need to take shutter van. the round up trip for shutter van cost RM10. I turn into ice stone cold. although is far but it will only took Rm1 to rm 2 just to travel the long distance. *sigh once in the life time , just forget about the money

while in the SCV alot of camp was set up. a lot of craft, souvenier, food and beverage store were set up.
