As you could see from the backdrop of these photos, which is the same as my mooncake post, I went to Kinta City again. Well, they have an on-going programme in conjunction with Mid-autumn Festival.

Last evening, I purposely went early to try to get a good spot. I wanted to video their performances. The show started at 8pm and I reached there about twenty minutes earlier but the two rows of seats have already been occupied.

Actually Kinta City’s series of programmes started on 30th August, but I was too busy to go on the first day. But never mind, there will still be similar shows, including magic shows, Chinese opera and “face changing” performances in the coming weekends.

I have to say that I was pretty disappointed with the show. There was no showmanship at all. These two ladies and a young man were so engrossed in their notes that there was no interaction or eye contact with the audience at all. No one smiled too. At one point, there was awful feedback from the speakers which spoilt the already bad show.

This time, I did not use the zoom when capturing the videos to try to preserve their quality. Still uploading to YouTube has drastically reduced the quality. Audio is fine, though. You could even hear small kids chatting away. These kids spoilt my video when they suddenly climbed up chairs or put up their hands, besides chatting away. And then there were people who walked right across the stage.

Check out my videos. These pieces are popular Chinese music, though I do not know their titles, just recognize the tunes. From what I understand, these musicians are from Shanxi, China, but I could be wrong. They certainly look like any other fair complexioned Malaysian.

I meant to write this post earlier but have been too busy that I did not feel like charging my batteries. I think I need to get new rechargeable batteries, those that would not discharge even if I do not use them for a year.

So, this is my set up, where I work, where I blog, and next to where I sleep. I used to have curtains for the window but I decided to take them down because the washing was getting to be too much work. I am, after all, THE washing machine.

My sister and I used to share the room but she has left the nest so I can do whatever I want with it now. Between our two beds across the room, we have ten feet so there’s plenty of space for me.

So, this is it. It’s so messy!

Chey…. I submitted this photo below to The Star’s Thumbnails in mid-February, 2008 but till today, I did not see it published.

Just like my earlier submission, Defiant, it has been left on the wayside while the Editors think that some other photos are better, like this cat.

People who are online long enough would have received a photo of this cat over and over again in their inbox. And here’s still SOMEONE who has never seen it before. Hah!

Anyway, I found my photo really hilarious. This photo was taken at the junction leading to the drive in counter of the Municipality Hall in Ipoh. Obviously, it used to say “TUNAI DAN CEK SAHAJA” but with the “I” missing from TUNAI, it carries an entirely different meaning. So, we can now pay our assessment with tuna and cheque. My father told me to photoshop the word CEK to KEK. Hahaha don’t want lah! So free meh?

Oh yeah, I swear I will not submit another photo to Thumbnails again since they are so action. I publish my photos on my own blog better
