KK Jazz Festival 2010 (No one is too young for Jazz)

Have you ever been to KK Jazz Fest before? I bet some of you had. So last two weeks I went to KK Jazz Festival 2010 at Sutera Harbour Marina, Golf and Country club with my beloved(MT) and x-schoolmate(Nel).

It is my first time went to a festival such as this. Yeah, I am waiting for this kind of opportunity..To a music festival! Because I love music! Good music of course. Before this, hmm..I was looking at the newspaper and was wondering: a jazz festival? Macam mau pigi saja nih..I want to go!But..but...I have no money(in your face big spender)..the ticket is RM50(for one day pass) and RM80 (2 days pass)..So I said "maybe next time...next year probably.."(with dissappoinment) However, 2 weeks after..know what happened? I get 2 free tickets 1 day pass(at least!) from fellow staffs(although I don't know who you are) yahoooo. .TQ SCC!

The first opening show is by UMS band(In 3 years,it's the first time I had my cheers for my uni..woohooo UMS! and I realized I am overreacted when the tourists and locals remain steady and keep their cool..almost no reaction) I say, they are pretty awesome! The sax,trumpets and all...For a minute, I am proud of those students. .good job!

There are also solo artists such as Rene Burrow and Dayang Nuraini and bands such as Organamix, Mood Indigo, GPJQ & guitarist Roger Wang. I love the instrumental songs played by Organamix(pianist from Sabah, drummer from Thailand and guitarist from Singapore)..This 3 piece band is awesome. Mood Indigo's drummer is completely insane..hehe. Go otai! All I can say, the performances are all superb.

The best thing I witnessed during that night was at the end of the show.People went crazy! I think it's because not so may people left. We were about to go home..but we're stucked as to see people all dancing both locals and tourists. Even we were into the groove that nite! I saw mothers and aunties dancing outside. People don't care anymore..they just dance to the music..I think it reminds them of their younger days..hehe.one funny tourist( I guess he was drunk) took the stage and dancing as if he is part of the show..with his 'Hawaian' pants I called it(it is bright in color) and sunglasses pointing towards the crowd dancing..hehe.See how the music gets people together? I am glad to be part of this moment..I love to see others having their good time and dancing to the music. We even shouting wooooowooooo from the distance(yes, we are actually outside and not even go into the crowd).

Some pics managed to be taken, although not all of it:

And lastly, the V.I.Ps of the night...

Voices.In.Public.

For a moment, I forget all about my works and problems . One of the happiest moment I can say. Looking forward to more concerts or shows after this!

Things Happen..

For a reason..yes, i truly believe this. There are many things going on in my life that makes me nearly lose hope or react in anger. Indeed, I had lost myself sometimes.It feels like no one understands your problem and you feel like everybody is treating you the same(in a bad way). I really get so pissed of with some people..who like to use you and maybe treat you badly as if you are no better than they are. It hurts you when people take you easily. They answer your question as simple as if you don't know the answer. For example, you are not sure if some documents can be faxed( because you think that some documents are confidential and might be to 'risky' to fax)..I know that it may sound that I over worry about things..but hey, it is better to confirm something before you do a mistake. The answer they give? The basic step of how to fax the document( without looking at your face). What the? Somehow, it affects a person, although they are not complaining(yeah that's why I am writing this)..Sometimes I think let it be a mistake(in your face!)

But some things happened to me as if I am being saved from trouble. For example, I want to an activity.Lets say activity A.However, because of other obligation, I cannot perform activity A. After that, I get dissapointed. Later, you know that those who involve in activity A caught in trouble. But you, you are save because you cannot join activity A. Something like that..save you from gossip, being scolded or etc.. Indeed, He did this to protect me.

Always hoping there will be a little miracle to get me out of this place.This feeling.
