jazz in the head...

it wasn't what i expected... it was more!!!! am so glad i came to this festival though it would be better if i came with friends... but it was good too to go with dad.. he was enjoying himself!! moving to the groves.. hahahah...

we left the house at 6.30pm (it WAS a total wrong decision) and got stuck in the jam.. not in one place but a few... the Bridge Toll, on the bridge, Udini Road, Tanjung Bungah and the driving-slow-to-sight-see-BatuFerringhi jam.....

by the time we reached there it was 8.30pm... we managed to find a spot infront of the stage and placed our mat on the grass.... it was awsome... the group that was performing when we got there had a 6 year old kid playing the tablas...

then there was a one-man band, Andrew White... he played the guitar AND the harmonica the same time... boy his guitar skills were O_O!!! very skillfull.....

after that there was a group call Dragon Clan or something like that... lots of air instruments (sax, trumpets, bass sax, flute... etc) and had our own Datuk can't-remember-his-name guess drummer for that group....

note the big screen on the right?

the last performance was a group from Indonesia... the members were from many places from Indonesia (like Bandung - i just had to say it Sharon!!!) but basically from Bali, there was an Australian in the group playing the violin... i think she and the leader of the group has something going on... well he did say that she's the love of his life....

there were souveniers being sold... more towards stationary for those learning music like pencils, rulers, erasers, paper clips and mini pencils/pens (like the ones my grandma used to use when she was teaching me the piano), bags and wall clocks with music notes motifs, there were also food and t-shirts and albums of the performers who performed....

it was the first time i met a blogger... the lovely journalist, Aja Ng... and we came to find that Penang is smaller than u think! she knows ppl i know! hahahha and also met a very old friend who thought i came with her!! hahahhaha... yea it's THAT small!!!! also met some ppl from work like Nicholas, Eleanor (finally got to place the name to a face!!) and Joseph whom i saw from afar...

the whole thing ended at bout 1am and by the time we got home it was 2am... waa sleepy.. but i went to bed with jazz in my head....
