Ministry of Beats Vol. 1

Posted on By sweet surrender 4 Comments on Ministry of Beats Vol. 1

Finally got the time to post this event, Ministry of Beats Vol. 1 that was organized by Shiok.org that happened on 30th January 2010 at Royal Oak. It started at 4pm and I reached there at around 4.30pm. What was it all about?

Think of electro beats from the DJ and rhythms by a group of percussionists and drummers. That’s what it’s all about.

Left: We were required to get stamped so that they know we had paid to go in. Went there with media pass. It wasn’t very happening at first. Well… What do you expect? It’s still too early for people to party!

Right: The DJ.


Left: The performers.

Right: We had the chance to try out too! Cool! I haven’t been beating drums for years!


Left: I went there right after I managed the anime collage competition at tHe Spring, that explains why I wore skirt and it doesn’t look decent *LOL*

Middle: Candid shot, I was playing the drum that time.

Right: When the sun went down…



I left at about 8pm+, couldn’t stand it anymore. Was tired due to rushing from one event to another. I didn’t stay long to enjoy the party.

That’s all about my experience at Ministry of Beats Vol. 1.

By the way, photos were taken from random sources in Facebook, namely from Andre, Sheng Han and Cyril. I hope I didn’t miss out anyone. I lost track of the owners of the photos ;p

Check out the video, you can see me in there hahaha… So awkward, really cannot wear skirt to do that! ;p My movement was restricted to the max.

Wonderfulborneo.com Launch

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Wonderfulborneo.com Launch

Was invited to the launch of Wonderfulborneo.com on Monday night at Sri Shan, the Indian restaurant at Ban Hock Road. Hmm… What should I say about the site? I don’t have to say much really… You can find out about it by just going to the site itself. πŸ˜‰



It was officiated by Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan.

Before Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan left, group photo is of course a must to commemorate the launch.


Tan Sri Datuk Patinggi Dr. George Chan joined us, the bloggers, and chatted with us about tourism and how we could help in promoting Sarawak.

Here’s a photo of us with him. Many left earlier so they were not in the photo. It’s was a last minute decision to have photo taken with him just before he left.

Remember to check the site out!
