11th Borneo Jazz Festival - Introductory , Preview, Tree Planting & Welcoming Dinner

Media Walkabout - Parkcity Everly Hotel, Miri

Always exciting when comes to covering Jazz Festival. Borneo Jazz makes it return of 11th year to Miri with extra programme to attract more either local or international festive goers. As for us (the media), were also well taken care of. 


Media walkabout was started last year. Main reason of having this meeting is to introduce, spread knowledge and definitely using the power of writing to spread words to public and specially new comers how is it gona look like on the event ground. What will you be expecting, what precautions you should take when there's an emergency (thou the chances are one in a million), vendors that will be participating and the location. These are all high possibilities question that may pop up. That's how the walkabout comes about.

[Platform where the performers that are going to show their talent.]

[Canopy that will be filled by vendors, trying to fulfill every needs and request of the festive goers.]

[Crews that work day and night just to make sure every system is scrutinize to minimal error]


Preview Show - Ming's Cafe

The preview show which was used to be in the mall doesn't seems to be that attractive enough. Therefore, Sarawak Tourism Board intend to collaborate with local bar and see how does the crowd turn out in the local cafe.


Unexpectedly, great response and they LOVE it!!! Totally a better platform to market and getting public to acknowledge about Jazz Festival. Oh...and thank you Ming's for having us. It was a truly great hospitality!



Tree Planting - Piasau Nature Reserves (Piasau Boat Club) 

Tree planting ceremony is already a MUST in every festival that STB organised. Being part of the CSR and also contributing a little effort to the mother nature which we had destroyed without knowing. It is never too much and late to go green.


Thou the rain may be slightly disadvantaging but the weather is just cool.

We, we, we the Sarawak Bloggers, are doing our part too. We left our footprint as a marked of our contribution to globe. Just a tiny bitsy effort but it probably mean much when every each of us contributing it, ain't you agree?


Welcoming Dinner - Miri Marriott Resort & Spa

Welcoming Dinner hosted by Miri Marriott Resort & Spa simply gives a diversification to the usual dinner buffet we used to have. Was truly a fascinating dinner as we get to enjoy our night by the beach  and watching the sun slowly eaten by the endless sea. Never gets bored watching sunset (least not me).


Local delicacies is a must as this is what the tradition served. How could you have something ordinary and common when you landed on a foreign land, can you? Sarawak laksa, umai and pansuh ayam (chicken), they had it all covered.




Truly an enjoyable night specially with the companion of background music from traditional musical instrument "sape". Slowly leading us through the night and softly bring us to ease.


The event will be starting tomorrow. If you haven't get your tickets, you will still be able to buy it on the official venue itself which is Parkcity Everly Hotel, Miri. A day passes at RM100 and two days passes at RM180. Be there to feel, experience and most of all? Indulge! See you there peeps!!!

Angels & Demons

This is another great production after DaVinci Code. This is greater, excited and more knowledgeable movie. This movie is more to Christian history and all the ceremony and nevertheless famous place that Christian treat as honourable. I have nothing much to comment on this movie as I think from the beginning till the end the story was quite good. The flow is indeed smooth and connected. I did enjoy the time Tom Hanks search for clue to find the candidate popes where they were hide and the place they will get killed. There is so much excitement in it. My feeling was just like a roller coaster going ups and downs without knowing what would it be the next moment. I could only give two thumbs up for it. Don't believe what I said? Watch it yourself and you will know what I meant.

Photography

Recently, I am up to more nature photography. Those who know me well knows that I am always girl with my babe (camera) around. Non stop taking food places and something which is akward and new to my eyes. Nowadays I find out that the view out from my balcony and window is so tentative and fascinating that I did not realise before. Here are some shot that I had taken and I hope for some comment for my improvement in future! SUNSET FROM WINDOW VIEW For this picture, I take in two ways. a wish for brighter sky but somehow when I get the color of sky I want the light out from the blue cloud could not be seen clearly. Only when I set it to darker mode then the light out of the cloud could be emphasize out. LIGHT, SIGN OF BETTER DAY

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...
