Once again, Penang World Music Festival 2008 kicked off on May 2 and end on 4th May had draw tremendous crowd to Taman Kuari, Botanical Garden, Penang. Remember in the year 2007, the crowd was not as much as 2008, despite the heavy rain, the audiences were still having fun.

This year, the music was excellent, especially the troop from Ireland with the smooth music and yet make you want to dance along, with super dancer from Badila troop that spin round and round and round that obtain extremely welcoming applause had make my day.

I only attended the Saturday night, although I wanted to attend all 3 days, but the price was a bit too much for me. However, one night was enough to blast my ears, my mind and my soul. We were welcome by the 1st troop from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, with the traditional costumes and music instruments, the singer sang Tian Mi Mi, I bet was a local delight which most Chinese grown up with that song.. :D

Come to the next troop, with different background of Iran, French and India, make the night even happening�. The troop dancer was indeed eyes catching with her spinning. And the India�s singer was COOL that he can hold his breath so long to sing. @@��

Ladies troop from France� with one man to in charge of the instrumental tune� was eyes catching, he don�t use normal instrument, instead, spoons, legs and etc was used as part of music instrument� oh, his legs dance was overwhelmed by the audiences� *clap*

Diplomats of Drummer from KL, Malaysia, was a disappointment, well to me, when they start off with their music, there was some tune that I believe it adapted from Wicked Aura, Singapore that I love so much. Hence I have so much expectation from them, but it ended up with a disappointment� but the violin player was GOOD�

Last but not least, Troop from Croatia was the best, with extraordinary music instruments that make from goats� skin (haha that cute guy have 5 goats� skin instruments in his bag that I have to give him a new name � grossmaninstrument . the lead singer�s look and charisma was like aerosmith� SUPER KAKKOI desu�

When we 1st reach the destination, it was a disappointment, @@�� parking A and B is not full yet!!!!

Anyway, at 1st the guards were busy asking the audiences to SIT DOWN, which indeed pissed me off, because I�m here to enjoy myself and I�m not small kids anymore. Lots of audiences, I bet were not happy at 1st because by sitting down you can�t dance along. Since I went to year 2007, with extremely good experience of dancing along *standing from 730pm-1230am* asking us to sit was a NO NO�

My friend said, legs gonna numb� yeah indeed yes, and our butts were painful from sitting down on the uneven land�. :P

After the Ireland troop, the audience start standing up, the guards were there asking us to sit down, but everyone IGNORE them�muahahah we won the war� yay.. !!!!!!

Best- The audiences were dancing and having so much fun there� you can enjoy the video after this� :P

Luckily we don�t have to sit for the entire concert, or I ma make super bad reviews.. yay thank god we don�t have to�.

Another problem, people were smoking at the crowd�. OMG� some were good by blowing the smoke up to the sky, some were noob that blow within the crowd� @@�� super noob attackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish� the dustbin was less than a meter away yet ppl were littering everywhere�shame shame�.

Lol if they invite Gackt Camui for the festival� I bet im going to attend the 3 days despite the price� of course provided Gackt Camui is there for 3 days� haha.. just imagine he perform Vanilla in the festival, bets lots of audiences gonna drool all over�
