Breaking Down

Went for World Drum festival on Sat with a couple of good friends,

sat LRT to masjid jamek and walked to dataran merdeka, pretty sight, a lot of lights! shining brightly in the night, only hoc mun brought camera, so he has the pics.

Well the emcee was lousy, trying to sound pro but ain't pro sounding he was.. pffttt... and always mentioning the sponsors a gazillion times, and the speeches were long and tedious and cliche!

Even the tourist there were restless, one woman laid back and raised her hand symboling a 'bird' sign in the 'bird paper stone' game, and opening the 'bird's' mouth and closing it, haha, it was funny, even the tourist know our speeches are long and pointless, all for show, no one pays attention!

Then the show came on,

it was....

disappointing!!

better go listen some drum solo by some random band, probably more entertaining,

yea yea, its cultural and stuff, but it's supposed to entertain!

Then they boasted bout the youngest conductor or something, and the fella is in the malaysia drums troupe, but that group was quite disorganized, they use everyday items as instrument

hmmm

wonder why that sound soooo familiar?

could it be some other PEOPLE did it and became damn famous?

The emcee kept mentioning that singapore is our neighboring country, repeatedly you know, but thailand they didn't mention that they are our nieghbor, seeing how we share border with them and with singapore we are separated by a river or something,,

even indonesia was mentioned as our neighboring country, poor thailand... we left halfway go mamak watch football a bit, more fun.

Come 2008! come!
