A BAD SUCCESSOR

MR PAN'S retirement now makes me wonder who is going to be his successor. Now I heard that there arn't many catholic principals around anymore and there are only two reasons I can think of. Firstly, catholics/non-malays arn't given the opportunity to get a job promotion. Secondly, catholics/non-malays are too good for this job. The later is a more positive way of putting it. Haha ya so call me someone who speaks without real facts. But then again, my thoughts are most important in this blog and not some freakin facts.

Once a princess always a princess?

GRNDPA'S MGCAL TOYS & GRNDMA'S MGCAL WAND

IM going to talk about Kan'id. Those who don't know what Kan'id is, it's a band formed by 13 to 18 year olds of Kelabit decent. I wouldn't say most of them are pure Kelabits, but they are pretty modernized. So these people were one of the highlights for the Rainforest World Music Festival and I didn't catch half of their performance but I can say after the party that it is one of the best groups that performed that night. Those who missed it lucky you because youtube have some videos. The songs:

LEILING/LILING Actually i didn't know that this song was the unofficial anthem of Sarawak. Nothing much you can say about the tune and words because they're all repetition. From their performance that night, the last half of the song would be more catchy which makes you just want to jump to the beat and have fun in the mud. Like dangdut you knw? *says with an accent* Mostly just jumping around to the beat of this song would make you happy.

THE LAST OF THE GREAT WALES A melodious song, perfect for someone in love. Hah. A romantic song you might say. But this song is actually quite catchy with a fast beat. How Kan'id played this song does sound better then Celtic Crossroads but i do not know about the original artists. It's a cover song for your information, but however, great choice of song with deep meaning maybe? I'd say it was one of the best song they sang that night, I particularly liked the main vocal and the saxophone!

THE WORLD YOU LEFT US Another song perfect if you are in a romantic mood, but the lyrics suggest otherwise. The song has nothing to do with romance. An original song, therefore not a cover and because of that you might want to say that the writter has some talent? Yep written by one of the members of Kan'id. Again repetations in the song but it just makes you want to sing along.

PULONG TAOH You might see some resemblance this song has with The World You Left Us, something that makes you sing along. But I can say I like this song better then the other one. Talent? Definitely some here. Pretty modernized for a Kelabit due to the use of guitars, but no sapes. This song feels like a nice song at the moment! One of the good ones.

KU AYU' ANUD APBA' This song didn't actually catch my attention, but there was a bit of fantastic guitaring. Nonetheless credits for playing something less modernized which do actually show some Sarawakian culture.

So links! Everyone wants links!

Happy listening!

THE SHORT TALK I

So then i realise that people who bring Malaysian fame to other parts of the world arn't actually that Malaysian. Kan'id for example, most of them eurasians with caucasian decent. They dont look pure Malay, Chinese or Indian you can tell. So does this mean Malaysia has no international talents? Think about it. Take Hannah Tan for instance, a Miss Malaysia once, and she comes from Penang, Kuching and New Zealand decent. Deborah Priya Henry is another example whos mother is pure Irish and her father is a Malaysian from Australia. Now does that tell you how un-Malaysian she is? Another who made it into the global music entertainment, Che'Nelle. A Sabahan as everyone says, but she was actually brought up in Australia and she dont speak the national language. Not forgetting some MTV or Channel [V] VJs who don't actually know about Malaysia. So please! Don't brag how good Malaysia is!

THE SHORT TALK II

So I just came back from playing futsal and someone! someone didn't know i play futsal! Haha. My legs hurt at the moment, had a clash with Andre my man haha but its alright! I'm alright!

RAINFOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL

RAINFEST virgins like me wouldn't know what to expect how the Rainforest World Music Festival would come out to be. I'd say prepare! before you decide to go if you want to have the optimum fun! Here might be some things you'd expect:

1) Hot damsels in bikinis or little clothes
2) People dancing in the rain
3) A crowd of sweaty party animals
4) Exotic funky music you'd never heard before
5) People of all races coming together

Of course these are the normal, you might say 'good' things you'd expect. There are of course, the bad:

1) A few inches of mud if it rains
2) Smokers everywhere
3) Not-so-presentable-guys trying to get lucky with gals
4) Having a hard time getting yourself a room

So I only went for the Saturday night party even though it was three nightes. That morning I was packing and doing so reminded me of someone who brought only one pair of underwear last year. Poor undies. It couldn't take its bath and had to endure being worn by its owner for 3 days. So we drove there and n the way, Martin, Brendan and me had Big Apple donuts!!

THE PRE CONCERT

THE CONCERT

Pictures with captions best describes the whole event I must say. But of course the ones above don't explain much. Now I apoligize for lacking pictures and the ones that I have turn out to be poor quality-ed. So! The ground was enexpectically muddy due to the rain the previous day, or else it'd be grass with some sand. Everyone took off their shoes or flip flops and go party in the mud. If you've been keeping up with music on the radio you would find the music here weird, some in different languages, more precisely their music were styles from all around the world, perhaps some place you never heard before. I did not stay till the very end but all the while i was there, I must say our local music was among the best. By that I meant the group from Sarawak which had a mixture of modern and traditional sounds in their music. Those camwhorin sessions were when the performance was on the treetop stage, far from our location near the main stage. So all in all, it's a good party, great time if you just want to get out of your routines! And those who went, good for you! But those who did not, well there is always next time. TILL NEXT YEAR!!

THE SHORT TALK
"I've been away for only two days and shit like this happens." That's Chester refering to Najib taking over Badawi in 2010 in his blog. I do agree with him. As heard, Najib is a very pro-malay kind of person. Call me a racist. We all are, and the west are worse. So my brother just came back from London, and he commented "Everything is rubbish in Malaysia." Do ponder.

LIKE WTF

IF you were to ask me what pissed me off today, my answer would be: malaysians. Yes malaysians spelled in lower case 'm' because these people do not deserved to be recognized positively. So there's this stationary car waiting to change lane and couldn't because there was another car on it's right and Chester and I happened to be walking in front of it and all of a suddent the driver honked. Like wtf, you cannot move your car and you honk people who cross your path. FUCKIN MALAYSIANS.

This particular event made me remember an incident. Back when I was in Singapore, I saw a pedestrian waiting by the sidewalk to cross the road and there was this car 50 metres away who's driver purposely stop behind the zebra just to let the padestrian cross even though it was his right of way. Now this brings me to another incident in Kuching. Same scenario. Pedestrian by the sidewalk waiting to cross. Now this car was approximately 75 metres away and upon seeing the pedestrian who was trying to cross, the driver honked a good 75 metres causing the pedestrian to terminate his intention. FUCKIN MALAYSIANS.

If you think that's bad take a look at a typical malaysian. A little bump among two cars leaving no scratches on either cars and the malaysian would be getting out of the car, staring at the other driver while calling his/her 'gangs' to come see what happened. Like wtf, it was a little bump and there was no damage. FUCKIN MALAYSIANS. Then again, KL would be worse. Now if you are a road user, you might either see a bus in the middle of the road with 4 or 5 cars behind it honking all the way for it to move or having to see pedestrians having no right at all on the road at all. The later case you will see a car or a taxi honking at a pedestrian so it could move 5 metres forward. Like wtf, you're in a middle of a jam and all you could move is 5 metres forward. So what's wrong with someone crossing in front? FUCKIN MALAYSIANS.

FRIDAY'S OFF

EVERYTIME you think of Fridays you think of weekend. But this Friday is L6B and L6C's CakeFest haha! The idea of having a CakeFest is everyone bringing a little bit of cake enough to feed every hungry mouth, stealing BIO class period, making Pn Jo having to join us whilte just having fun! So everyone brought cake except *looks around* haha! But of course it was compensated right away. Plenty of cakes and not enough people to finish them all:

As I was enjoying my cakes, I met the most VAIN people I have ever met before, in class particularly. *including me* hahahahahHAHA.


Pn Jo must be feeling very crazy today that she made us feed each other cakes!! With a hidden agenda of course ... SHE TRICKED US INTO MARRIAGE!!

Later that day ...

THE CHEMISTRY CLASS

There might be many more Festivals to come. HAHA!!
