kuching!

this is just something to fill in the time. decided to go through some of my pictures from kuching. so here are some photos of the rainfirest world music festival 2008 and other pictures from running around kuching.

there are 2 batches of pics. one from the first half of my trip when my sister was there and the other half when she left. these pics are those of the second half which also contains the rainforest world music festival pics. the first half are yet to be uploaded.


firstly the one and only group picture in this post.


from left to right. me, ayu, denise, cletus, sid and lorraine.

i mostly hung out with ayu, cletus and lorraine during the rainforest event.

this one is a picture of the kuching waterfront. it was supposed to be a panorama shot, but i was too lazy to stitch it together. stay tuned for the full panorama picture.


this next picture is taken on the beach of damai puri resort. this is the resort which i "sort of" stayed at during the rainforest event.


here is a random shot i took. on the right side would be some rocks which would lead down to the beach. i had to crop it out as when i took the picture the horizon wasn't straight, and it looked awefull.


so from here on the pictures are from the rainforest world music festival 2008.


this is the main stage where most of the better music comes from during the night.


as you can see, the grass is all nice and green. little would you know that on that exact same night, it would eventually become a mud hole.

this is a photo of a dude making a sape. i think that the white partition board on the left of the picture really ruined the shot. dammit....


this is the view from the same house i took the picture of the man making the sape. what a great view.


and this here is the picture of the house i was on when i took the photo of the man making the sape which i afterwards took the photo of the great view. i know, i'm trying to confuse you on purpose.


this is of a totem pole. carved out of a tree and it was about 7 meters high. sadly it was plagued with a few nails popping out from its side. had to photoshop it out. can you spot the changes?

quite hard i think...


this band is one of the coolest bands in the whole festival. each member can play about 3 instruments. coolest stuff and most fun music.


more pictures of the band. i think its called bezentine or something like that.


i quite like this one. i even cought the broken hair of the bow.

yet again, another editing mistake. the colours of the picture doesnt seem that nice. i forgot to bump up the colours after changing the white balance. was kinda in a hurry when i was editing them.

this band was kinda cool. their first song went "SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY!"


this is one of a sape player.

yeah man!! electric sape!!! behold how modern technology has effected traditional instruments. then again, isn't all instruments so called traditional to a certian culture?

oh well...

anyway, if you would like to see a bigger version of the photo, just click on them. more should be yet to come.

last week end i went down to singapore. why? well its cause my dear sister was heading over to the land of the roos. what is a roo? its a kangaroo.

so looks like its me the oldest kido in the house now. sigh....

more on kuching when i have the time.

ok so i missed out the food part...

alright, so i missed out about the food part.

so here is the story of the day out with jolene, jox, jiameei and shahpur.

at first we ate at marche which was in the curve. and us, being really short of money and in an expensive restaurant (maybe not so expensive, but we were short of cash), had to order super cheap food.

here is a picture of the sun which brightened our day at marche.

thats jiameei on the left and jolene on the right.

and this is one of me, jox and shahpur. shahpur looks like he is having an orgasm or something...

so after hanging out at marche for a while, we decided to head over to 1 utama to visit the batting cages.

so here is another one of us at the batting cages.

need i put a caption on this picture?

man... yet again i feel really lazy to type out an entry, so ill let the pictures do the talking, with me placing some captions and stuff...

jocelyn and jolene posing for the camera. come to think of it, i have no idea why people, including myself, strike up a pose whenever a camera is pointed their way....

alright this picture seriously looks like a family portrait.

shahpur's version of a kikapoo advert. the criteria was that we had to look like we were real happy! i think he over did it.

and this is mine. i think shahpur did better than me.

this photo pf shahpur looks really wrong..... can you spot why?

more posing for the camera.

and here is another one of the girls.

and yet another one. argh!!! when will it stop!

jolene takes safety really seriously... but come to think of it, wearing a helmet which is used for rental really sucks... everyones sweat and germs are on it!!

yet more posing...

then finally it was time for us to hit some balls. shahpur dances in rejoice.

so the next few pictures are just the best shots i could get of each person while batting. except jox, cause i have no idea why there are none of her photos.

this is jiameei. if you look carefully, the ball is coming right at her but she is still adjusting her hair.

this is shahpur. i like incubus, do you?

this is jolene. she doesn't like wearing shoes.

this is noel. he looks like he is about to chop some imaginary person in half.

this was the bestest shot i got.

shahpur gets blown by the wind.

noel gets blown by the wind too...

don't ask me why i'm referring to myself in the third person... cuase i have no idea why.

so after all that playing around, we decided to take some portraits.


alright, i'll just spare you guys the parkour pictures for now as i think there is already alot of pictures in this post. so i'll just post up the parkour pics in another entry.


but... i have just one more picture to post...


can you guess whats new?

more on that in the next post :D

base ball and parkour!

well today i went to the batting cages with jolene, shahpur, jiameei, jocelyn and me!

damn... ok i just got a call and it seems that i have to go to work...

argh!!

here is a teaser.
