WOMAD 2006

26/08/06

we only caught 2 performances.. A Korea traditional drum and opera & Suzanna Baca. both were pretty gd.. suzanna looked so happy and homely throughout her performance.. couldn't help but smile. :)

overall, benji and i agreed it was a little disappointing cos there wasn't much to performance as we thought. we did missed 1.. cos we were walking around. but thats about it. there was alot of stalls and some workshops. but we forgot to snap. UGH. so yup.. $ not really well spent. But, atmosphere was brilliant! i had fun climibing up fort canning though! muahhahahaha..




waiting for the korea performance!



we were kinda late.. so best seats were taken. but ours weren't that bad!



Let the drumming begin ...



Seq: left, right etc.. Pay attention to the drawings.. the person is painting from inside! We didn't notice until he was halfway thru.. initially it was a white frame.. and i was like, "dear, wasn't it white earlier?" *trying to fig out* him: ".... *confused* " me: "hes painting from inside!!!" -.- yea. silly us.



Suzanna Baca, aged 50. Hers is a long forgotten sound of black Peru - African rhythms wiht Spanish and Andean song. Shes totally lovely! all warmth and nice. :) cant find the right word to describe. love her sensual and graceful movements.

ISN'T THIS COOL? WOMAD WRIST TAGS !!!!!

Spanish seafood paella! Yummy.. LOVE the rice! Only thing is we got cheated by the seller!!! The menu board stated meatballs (chicken/beef).. so we thought ok, chicky it is.. cos both of us don't take the latter u see.

told the lady, chicky meatballs please.. and when we start eating, it tasted & look like BEEF. *faint* went back to the stall and was told its a MIXTURE of beef/pork. madness.. sigh. no choice. i wanted to leave it aside.. but benji didn't wanted to waste food. anyway, we didn't know it in the first place.. hmmm. so yea.



Free Heineken polarids!!! See how big my face is??? Ugghh.. sickening benji shrink so far behind. *pouts*
