Well, this entry maybe too late but *shrugs* 
there’s no harm in sharing some happy moments yeah?

Again, I volunteered at the Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) this year at the Media Centre, there’s nothing much to talk about there but the night show at Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV). For those who were there, knew what I mean 
Black Umfolosi from Zimbabwe grabbed most attention with their stomp performance and "The Lions Sleep Tonight" on the first night show.
Also, Shoogenifty from Scotland rocks as well with their fiddler, strong base waves, etc. Foghorn from the US is just as nice with their square dance tune…then what else? our home artist Jerry Kermit, the Kilobit bamboo band are equally fascinating.
"Shannon" from Poland made its flame in 2005’s RWMF, this year, they’re arranged as the last band to perform on the stage just an hour before the "annual" finale. After much waited and anticipation, they didn’t disappoint us!! Despite the fact that Marchin (the band leader) admitted they felt stress for being given such a huge role as the last performing band in the festive 
he was nervous too when he suddenly sang "Rasa Sayang", I think I still prefer "Shannon" just they way they are but surely, there’s no harm in trying to please their audience.
Next Year? I think I’d be happy just to attend the festive as an audience
