Rainforest World Music Festival ‘The RWMF’

I’ve written a short one on this but mel b n ladybird said its too short. Actually I felt it is too short too so here goes….

1st Day (10 July) – Travelling downsouth to other part of BorneoKuching here we come!

Well we were actually going to Santubong, the place of heaps and happenings.. heap Mount Santubong indeed! Yes, Santubong is the place you want to be annually sometime in July. Sarawak Cultural Village located in Santubong is a very very nice place and with RWMF on, it is definitely a colourful surroundings. Mandy, Lyn, Mel B n I were actually invited by our Miri friend to become volunteers in the RWMF as the security of the event wooohoo! Attached with MGK9 company for 3 days as a security taking care of the whole event and area, I had great fun and felt privileged (still do) to be part of the team. I’m sure Mandy, Lyn n Mel feel the same! Come on guys say something.

OK It's 11 sumting.... Hello hello Santubong!! What a nice place to be.. but what a weird looking lobby for such a nice resort... astaga patutlah, the cab stopped in front of the event hall pula, so we had to walk a bit to reach the lobby but it was ok... WOW nicely decorated! we are really in the RWMF area. 30 minutes later, we met with ladybird, friend from miri..a very cool lady. Ok lapar la pulak...we headed for lunch which was good, nothing special (it's hotel food) but still they were all tasty. Hmmm...i have the habit to tell my story according to what really happened... but basically after lunch:
  • checked in the room...big room with 2 big beds for 4 of us, Lyn, mandy, mel n me..

on the way to the lobby for some action after checking in..
  • played pool n beering
Large-O: huh huh...sa laini yg besemangat... misti mo manang Dik: uiiii...sa blum ready lagi..blum lagi sa kasi bagus rmbt sa.. Lyn: huh huh misti mo manang jua ni...
  • after pooling then we headed for dinner... makan lagi..masarap po'
  • karaoke! - ok this one i hv to tell, since karaoke is in the lobby area, meaning open space, n lots of guests.. we have to sing in a slow tempo plus with low volume.. imagine singing bon jovi's never say goodbye in that manner....and It's My Life...fuhh!
  • ended up sleepy... a good thing though
We got a room attached to Ladybird n Kat's room...good thing. And they are really great people! I was actually pretty blur about the whole thing like where to start, what to do next but they really understand and helped us much... well maybe just me since the others didnt really asked much...they knew already what is next perhaps..
