(pictures taken from www.sarawaktourism.com)

Miri International Jazz Festival or better known as Borneo Jazz Festival is making a great return this year with lots of world-class names in the list in conjunction with the Visit Malaysia Year 2014 (VMY2014) and also Visit Sarawak Year 2014. This is already the 9th year of such annual event organised and held in Miri, Sarawak. It will be held on the 9 & 10 May 2014.

For those of you who haven't know, I would love to briefly introduce the impressive line-up which had been announced by the organisers.





First of all, Iriao, band which is based on Georgian authentic folk and instrumental and polyphonic music, an eight-piece ethno-jazz band from Georgia which has been recognised by UNESCO as being a masterpiece of oral immaterial heritage.











Acappella act had gained great popularity for Jazz Festival the past few years. Therefore the committees are getting it back this year with Vocal Sampling, an all-male musical group from Cuba. They are very well-known band and a crowd pleaser.





Other line-up bands for this years' will be Brassballett from Germany. You will be impress of what they are going to deliver. They are the only band which are going to perform with choreographed show whilst playing their instruments. 


YK Band from our neighbour country, Indonesia will be performing Jazz with hints of Borneo flavour which may impress you on the night. Nevertheless, we have the big deal, Anthony Strong. He is the country, United Kingdom, new jazz superstar who had beat Gregory Porter, Michael Buble and Harry Connick Jr. to become No.1 on the iTunes and No.2 on Amazon.com jazz charts in the USA. 


Despite that, local representatives we have Diana Liu in list, Sarawakian born artist which is not only familiar in jazz music but also pop, bossa nova, gospel and funk/soul too. She had released her debut on 2010, title最美好的(Zui Mei Hao De).


After looking through the line-up performers aren't you having the sudden urge to be there and feel the groove yourself ?

Mandara Spa - Miri Marriott Resort & Spa (20th Anniversary)

In such hectic and fast pace era, we are in need of relaxation and proper stress release method. Nothing beats a great detoxification and massage that could reduce tension muscle which had been stiffed and hard as rock.  Probably, its the right time to pamper and go for a good drink, a great meal or perhaps even an awesome deal of spa. Mandara Spa had recently launched a good deal promotion where you can put behind your worries and contribute to those who are in need. Nothing feels better than doing good deed and pampering yourself at the very same time. Always awesome to kill two birds with one stone. Definitely worthwhile paying for charity that helps building a kid future, shaping a better generation and also creating a better place.  Mandara Spa is a world wide known spa which started with a humble beginning from Bali.

Miri Community

How much people out there really know how much states do Malaysia have? Even they knew it but they would never know where they actually situated. People would be proud of how much country they had been to but never feel ashamed that they had never been to most of the states of their own country. As a Malaysian I am proud to be one of the citizens. Having this opportunity I would like to describe a few things and attractions of my homeland, MIRI ! When you see this word, how much do you really know about this place? No idea? When someone mentioned Brunei they would know but Miri is just neighbors’ to them and they never knew where is Miri or Miri actually exist. Frankly speaking, I never knew the exact history of this place I called homeland but I knew partially about it and grow up with it. Watching it grow and expand with achievement is just like parents watching their child grow up and the happiness can never ever described by any words in dictionary. From a small town we had bee
