Local Interest

My good friend, Grace asked me to join her to watch Masterpiece perform in Padawan Fair. I was a bit reluctant bcos if i am going, i will be going tom Kpg Serasot, and only after 6pm (working hours, understand?) To travel late and going through Bau - Batu Kawa Road is not ideal after dark cos there are no street light to light your way and its been a while i did not travel using that road. Anyway, all these thinking are no where close to compromised my promise to her to go to the fair. So, i decided to go.

Traveling that road, you won't be lonely cos there are lots of cars using that road but in other hand, you won't have the chance to overtake as much as you wanted. So, the way you drive depends on the crowd of driver you were with on the road.

It was drizzling and it was dark.. i tried to visualised the road , the turn and corner but it somehow felt different. And there was a part of the road was being re-seal so it was really great that i drove slow that night. If not, i may have flat tire in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere.

After 1 hour drive, i finally reached MJC and met her at Secret Recipe. I was really craving for Secret Recipe Cakes specially Chocolate Indulgence.

I paired it with Hot Mocha which is also one of my fav drinks. Plus, this branch has the most friendliest staff and efficient work. With a smile on their faces, nothing went wrong. After i settle down and catches up with my gal, we decided to parked our car there and walk to the Padawan Fair. Bringing along my trusty camera, i was really excited.

First of all there were lots of people and it was really happening. We went past the stage but Masterpiece is not on yet, so we walk about the food corner, and the game corner and there was a Beer corner. Then we notice someone wearing black trench coat with long hair and Grave called out a name "DEPHA!"... And here is the picture i took for that moment...

Then, Depha excused himself as he need to go back stage to prepare plus more and more fans taking picture with him. So, we went another round to wait for the band performance. We were so excited. And then at 11pm, the real show start...

For more pics, do check out my FB. Deep in my heart, i wish i can have the same commitment for my bidayuh band too. But alas, I cannot find any Bidayuh singer / band that are as good as this. Maybe they are still underground and are not ready to expose into the local music industry or may not have the support from the communities around. Or maybe I was not expose to the bidayuh musicians...Who knows, but I wish there are some awareness for my beloved bidayuh local musicians. Those who knows, do let me know ya... Chow 4nw.
