Tuak

**Introducing Tuak**

p/s: I was drinking beer while writing this post xP


Tuak is a traditional alcoholic beverage for the Ibans/Dayaks in Sarawak.
It is basically a rice wine made of rice, yeast and sugar.

Proudly, I drank tuak once before. It was during last year's Gawai.
I had a friend who was celebrating it and he brought us to his kampung for visiting. Thanks to him that I had the chance to grab a taste of tuak.


-June 2011-

The tuak my friend served that day was mixed with apple juice.
Maybe because of that, I could still handle the taste of it. I remember that I drank up to 4-5 glasses, accepting my friend's challenge. It was funny when I found that I couldn't walk properly to the loo and I even went for three times! That's normal though. But I guess I won't be able to stand the taste of original tuak compared to apple tuak.

Anyway, I might as well say that I enjoyed the taste of tuak. Just like other wines, more or less, it tasted quite bitter with a bit of sweetness and hotness. I could feel the heat down my throat as I swallowed.
A good try for me, indeed. :D

Sungha Jung Surprise Opening Dance

Guess what?

It's Sungha dancing !!

*scream*

Recorded this video during the free performance sponsored by BTTW soap manufacturer at their kiosk at Kuching International Airport (KIA) on 23 June 2012. It was an opening dance before Sungha "showed off" his guitar skills and the dance theme was Wonder Girls' Nobody! :D

Well I think Sungha looked quite awkward in dancing, probably because he's too skinny and turned out to be looking like a skeleton dancing. Haha. But he did a great job as a newbie in dancing cos I believe he only practised the dance moves once during the rehearsal in the morning. *thumbs up* I can see that he was struggling hard to dance well and his serious face made him look so cute !! xD But I think there were too many dancers behind him which made the whole situation look kinda messy. Just my opinion though. :)

So yeah, please enjoy the video I managed to capture despite the blurry image quality and screams from all the die-hard fans! Oh well~

Sungha Jung's Mini Foot Stage at Kuching

Good news people!

The famous 15-year-old YouTube-risen acoustic fingerstyle guitarist Sungha Jung is coming to Kuching a.k.a. Cat City, Sarawak soon!!

Date: 23 June 2012 (2pm-4pm) & 24 June 2012 (10am-12pm)
Venue: BTTW kiosk - Kuching International Airport

Gosh I'm super excited about his coming and will surely be there watching his performances on 23 June as I already planned to have an outing on that day after final exams end. Can't wait till the day comes. Whee.

Fyi, there will be no tickets selling for his mini foot stage because it's sponsored by Borneo To The World, a manufacturer of all-natural premium handmade soaps. So that means it's an open performance! How cool is that? :D

Also, Sungha Jung is giving out free CDs for the first 100 audience/fans! That's so generous of him. Me gusta! xD But it's gonna be hard to be one of that 100s I guess. :/

Luckily there will be a signing session too! If I can't get one of his albums, at least I can get his signature. :) So if you're a big fan of Sungha surely you don't want to miss this opportunity to get his signature on what-so-ever you're bringing along. Imma draw a portrait of him, if possible, and let him sign on it. Teehee.

Now, let's see some of his pictures, shall we? :D

When Sungha was still young. Not sure how old though. Kawaii, desho? xD

Peace ^__^v

Grown-up Sung Ha. Got City Hunter feel or not? Hehe.

I guess this pic would be his latest look and it's also my fav pic of him. xD


And oh, BTTW will also be giving out free soaps which I am not that interested in. HAHA :P

Anyway, if you wanna know more about this fingerstyle guitarist, here's his official site: http://www.sunghajung.com/
