14 July 2008
Short Talk:
I am going to the MTV Asia Awards!
Who's gonna be there? The Pussycat Dolls, One Republic, Leona Lewis, Jared Leto, Karen Mok, Panic At The Disco. All confirmed.
Sorry, tickets aren't for sale and I have none to give out. If you want one, perhaps you can get lucky this Satuday night (19/7) at the "Mosh Pit Auditions", 6pm - 8pm at Zouk. ;)
Rainforest World Mud Festival
I hate to be honest.
Pinkpau was not happy
But the Rainforest World Music Festival was a sore disappointment this year.
I didn't mind that the ticket price has gone up from RM60 two years ago to RM90 this year. The major problem everyone had was that the venue was awfully muddy due to heavy rainfall on the first day.
It's difficult to get into the mood when your ankles were immersed in four inches of soggy wet mud. The organisers tried alleviating the problem by covering the surface with wooden saw crumbs, to no avail.
Then there's the problem of hooligans.
I'm all for partying hard and going crazy at events such as these, but terrorising other revellers by throwing mud at them is definitely NOT cool.
It didn't help that the mud has a disgusting stench that smells like a yoghurt mixture of vomit, sweat and somebody's severe case of diarrhoea.
That being said, the music on display was once again quality stuff. I especially enjoyed the skilful percussion acts from India and Japan.
Those ethnic musical instruments are all very unique.
And then there's this guy from Congo.
"Do you want to play with my instrument?"

Luckily, I din attend the festival this year. I din actually enjoy it much last year. Yup... like you mentioned. Problem with hooligans. It actually happened last year too. Bad experience. I had to leave early to avoid any bad incident.
Oh yes, your previous post make my life miserable. I basically had to bring my Singaporean friends who are here for the mud festival to each of every place you mentioned for food, food, food till I had diarrhea for the past two days and end up with sick leave today.

Posted by: avispek at 14 July 2008 1:33 PM | Link to comment
Wow Choonie..u basically tried all the recommended stalls?Impressed..But i see that u also got diarrhea..Thats quite normal i guess for someone foolish enough to try everything in juz few days..How do you expect your stomach to take it?U eat hot laksa and Oily Kolo mee mix wif western food, hawker food...I guess your not born in Kuching. If you are then u never eat out.Sad to say that..Hope you recover and learn and not cramp your stomach like a rubbish bin.

I guess Woodstock could never happen in Malaysia. Too many people there not liking mud. Mud is fun. Mud is natural. Mud is sexy.

Mud is synonymous with music festivals here in the UK. Looks like the trend is spreading to Malaysia as well.

Mud fights may sound oh so pleasant in books and on TV, especially between girls, but in reality, yeah it stinks.

What do you expect? It's not called Rainforest Music Festival for nothing. You get music, rainforest and mud! Only once a year to throw mud at each other - not too bad! : )
Posted by: foongpc at 15 July 2008 11:01 AM | Link to comment

Posted by: Ohkulala at 15 July 2008 12:50 PM | Link to comment
do they ever play electronic music? like ones in Port Dickson by Tiesto. It would be fun in the open air.

meh.. i rather break ur instrument than play.. dono how long never clean leh
Posted by: Chicken With No Brains at 15 July 2008 2:47 PM | Link to comment
I agree about being there early. You'll get accustomed to the mud gradually, along with everybody else. Everyone started off clean and gradually got covered in mud. If you went in while everyone was already covered in mud, and you were still squeeky clean, it can be hard to join in the fun.
But I still can't stand those hooligans who threw mud and pour beer/soda/water onto the mud.
Posted by: mog at 15 July 2008 3:49 PM | Link to comment
amazing. such a nature feel to it. perhaps they should call it mudstock. paying rm90 to be stuck in mud wouldve been horrendous. i'm glad for you that the music was up to standard as usual!
Posted by: howshouse at 15 July 2008 4:04 PM | Link to comment
You may think it's disgusting, but the nuts who are into wet-and-messy fetishism will certainly get a kick out of it.

Gosh the instrument is hilarious.

Wow, Pinkpau wearing so sexy that day, I kinda recognize and like her.
Anyway, since it's fact to fill with mud, just bring your high heel to counter it, lolz.

And the shuttle arrangement from Santubong Resort to SCV SUCKS! There was no Q & everyone was rushing for the shuttle buses like it was Armageddon or something! SHEESH!
Otherwise, great job, STB!

Shuttle bus from Kuching City to SCV sucked too. Waiting time too long, unless you leave the concert before it ends.
Is there a place where we can submit some online feedback for the whole RWMF 2008? Would be good to help make next year's event better.
Posted by: mog at 16 July 2008 1:24 PM | Link to comment
aiya, its a RAIN-forest festival bah, what do you expect, the Sahara desert?

Typical city kids moaning about the mud, and nothing about the great music.
Though I must agree terrorising people with mud-flings is bad, very bad.
