Gearing Up For World Music Festival

Dunno why on earth i am so excited about the event this time around. I went for last year's one and it was so impressive that the i tell myself i must attend the full 3 day event next year.. (this year la)

Mana tahu clash with Shower of Petals 2 pula. Nevertheless i still can make it on 4 May which is the last day of the event. Totally new line-up for this year's edition. Ppl will be exposed to more music of different country and culture. The local acts are good to be frank. I taught they got nothing better to do than play music all day long..... X-D

Lot of ppl know me of the rocker type guy but hey, music is music. It speaks no language and there is no limitations. Chewah...

Checklist... : Foldable chair, raincoat if not umbrella and some good company... Aah.. Simply perfect....

Picture paints a 1000 words

I stumbled upon StickGal's blog (http://stickgal.blogspot.com) where the blog has all pictures to represent what she had in mind. Very very minimal writings unlike most blogs... like mine..... :-(

Great idea...! Some things are best unsaid (or maybe drawn... ) and maybe that contributes to her blogging idea. A picture can mean a lot of things and a picture can also represent your writings. I got one of her pic that represents what i am feeling right now...






Nuff said.

p/s Viewers.. er, readers discretion is advised..... He he.

What the heck???

What will you get when u put marsh mellows, a rubber band and a bunch of Japanese dudes ?? No prize given for the correct answer....

Contender Asia Predictions

The Contender Asia is nearing to it's final round. Started out 16 fighters and now is down to final four, John Wayne, Dhzabar, Sean and Yodsaenklai.

Well, this is what i presume will happen during the finals.

1) John Wayne vs Yodsaenklai. Both are phenomenal and great Muay Thai fighters in their own league.




John Wayne Parr













Yodsaenklai Fairtex











2) Sean and Dhzabar. Dhzabar have strong punches while Sean is very agile and have strong moves in his arsenal.




Dhzabar









Sean





















Yada yada yada. The winner takes home da money and bragging rights. The eliminated fighters should have one rematch fight, nothing to do with the competition. Exhibition fight only lo. I don think all of them deserve a rematch. Only a few will be selected. My personal choices will be:




Naruepol. His heart was not there during the 2nd round fight as he have to fight his friend. Hold back a lot or else he will be in the final as well.






Rafik. Although his attitude is a pain in the butt for people but he fights well.




Zidov. Lethal speed and combos. He's very aggresive as well. Lost to John Wayne 2nd round.





Soren. A strong fighter, very calm and relax during fights. Don be fooled by his cool outlook. :P




MOST probably they will bring back Zach to restore Singaporean pride. The only Singaporean fighter lost during 1st round because of dislocated shoulder.
