Miao
So I'm now typing this in the hotel room we're all staying in Kuching, Sarawak. YES!!!! They have internet. And the best thing is... it's free!!!! And I'm quite lucky that the connection is not that bad in my room.As you can see below... those are the luggages of the MPYO. Well, that's not all of 'em. There were more. Hahahaha. There were quite a lot coz seeing that we have maybe coming up to a hundred of us.
So while waiting to be checked in and getting our boarding pass, everyone took out their trusty cameras and started clicking away. This was our way of killing time.That's me, Chie Haur flute, Howard oboe, Vincent flute and Ket Wei d.bass.
Hahahahaha... Ket Wei and Sai Kwang bassoon comparing who has the bigger nostrils I'm guessing.
Teng Aik bassoon, Su Yin percussion, Sheuezei oboe and Vincent. Oh, and I think it's Eben's big mouth at the back of us.
And this.... is the peeps who are from Penang. That's quite a lot isn't it. Coz the people who came from KK started to do this, so we followed and we outnumbered them by I dunno... a lot. Hahaha.
And these are the people who studied/still is studying at University College Sedaya International. This was how bored we all were.
And this... is my boarding pass!!!
After that, we headed over to the very very very extremly expensive Mcdonalds to have our lunch coz there were nothing else to eat. And none of us wanted to eat anymore curry coz we are all very afraid of it already. We've been all eating curry everyday for the past week. And when we reached Kuching, checked into our quite nice hotel which is the Harbour View Hotel, we straight went to dinner. Which was awesome in some ways. The food was good coz there was no curry. Yay. They booked the whole restaurant, well the inside of the restaurant for us which was very cool. This was our table and on the table were pink coloured drinks which tastes exactly like cough syrup. I'm not joking.
See!!!!
There were balloons too. But I'm not sure if they were for us or not.
Oh, and during dinner, they were playing songs by ABBA. So... halfway eating, everybody will be like... singing the choruses. Hahahahahaha.For the last hour there, there was karaoke hahahaha. It was quite funny. And we were all chanting Mr. Kevin Field's name, for him to sing. He didn't in the end, but he promised us if we all play really well on our concert in Kuching and KK he WILL sing. That is... if... we find another karaoke machine. Which is quite unlikely. Clever huh. Hahaha.
We just finished our rehearsal not long ago today. This is where the concert hall is. Don't really know what building it is. But it looks like this.
And... this is what it looks like from where I sit. The place is quite nice with the chandeliers and stuff. The acoustic though... is quite dry.
See... it's not that bad right?
A closer look. 
Ooooh... I'm soooo hungry now. I'm gonna go have some local food now, I think. Hahahahahaha.Should be good.
And I'll wake up tomorrow for yet another concert. A matinée concert in the afternoon which is more of the fun pieces like highlights from Carmen, P. Ramlee's Tunggu Sekejap and a Sarawakian folk song which is Puteri Santubong arranged by Vivian Chua. And another concert at night which is the bigger and heavier pieces, Dvorak's Cello Concerto in B minor and Tchaikovsky's symphony no.2.
Hope everything goes all well and dandy!
