Here comes Borneo Jazz 2016!


First staged in 2006, the Borneo Jazz Festival was originally called the Miri International Jazz Festival until 2011, when it was rebranded. The festival was first organized with the prime objective of creating another signature event in Sarawak and particularly in Miri, in order to promote the city as a Resort City. It has since then become a well-known addition to the myriad of festivals that Sarawak has to offer.

A major Jazz festival in Sarawak with an audience estimated at 4,000 people. Borneo Jazz is a niche event and appeals especially to the expatriates working in the State and neighboring countries. It also has a record of environmental awareness as evidenced by its tree planting campaigns and its attention to recycling at the venue.

• A two-night program comprising Jazz performers from around the world at nightly
shows on an outdoor stage, and is the only Jazz festival throughout Borneo to be held by the sea. In the evenings, marching bands from local schools are also invited to the festival to present their skills and be exposed to an international event, as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).



• There is also a food and village mart selling an array of local, international and fusion food as well as festival memorabilia


• Surveys from Borneo Jazz 2015 show an average of 60 national and international media personnel covering the event representing mostly daily papers, music and travel magazines (print and electronic), radio stations, TV stations and the social media represented by bloggers and twitters. The media value is estimated in excess of RM10 million.

• Surveys from Borneo Jazz 2015 also shows there is an estimated crowd of 40% non-Malaysians coming to the Festival

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.

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, ...
