I've posted a lot on Festival Melbourne but I didn't post every shows and performances that I watched there so today I'm going to summarise quickly some of the other performances so I can put Festival Melbourne behind me and get on with my life! *sobs*
This is Heliosphere performed by The Dream Machine from England. Enter the world of Heliosphere where a weightless helionaut hangs, suspended far above the ground under a six-meter helium ballon, soaring, spiralling and spinningin graceful and enigmatic tumbles.
We watched BhuKham - Circus of Earth and Sky performed by Daksha Sheth Dance Company from India. An awe-inspiring fusion of ancient and modern dance meld with moves drawn from circus, martial arts, yoga and gymnastics. This was performed at the Big Top where I met Mei on another day.
Just outside the Big Top at the aerial rig the Fly By Night crew were performing their all air, no net acrobatic stunts.
Swinging and soaring like hypnotic metronomes high above the ground on 4.5 meter poles, Strange Fruit has achieved a reputation throughout the world for its spectacular and unique performances combining dance, circus and spectacle.
The Habibis plays and sings intoxicating music from Greece and the eastern Mediterranean played with Australian style.
Strawberry starring Fraser Hooper from England gives a mesmerising performance that delighted audiences of all ages.
Drum Drum is one of the most innovative comtemporary groups in the South Pacific, featuring dancers and classically trained musicians from Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Australia.
But most of all I miss the water spouting fish down the Yarra River and the fireworks that came with them! Did you know they've dismentled the fish and given them away to all the different councils across Melbourne?!

Ohh... so which council got the M'sian fish???
Once again, thanx for sharing, mate.

Well, we all lament the end of festivals and look forward for the next one.
Hey..Wuching...if you have the time and can catch snake long enough..and you have a passion for World Music, you must come back to Kuching Sarawak, for the Rainforest World Music Festival 2006, which is on the 7th to the 9th of July 2006, you can check out the website at http://www.rainforestmusic-borneo.com it will be held at the Cultural Village, at Damai, Santubong..hotel rooms are being sold like hot cakes..but feel free to contact KNB, JC or Me if you really want to come and we can try to work out the rooms for u.
That "strawberry" guy must have been a dog in his previous life and he has just spotted a fire hydrant (see photo). Hey! QV's inviting u.....!
Oh..STP...sorry, you're invited 2....if u want...but dnt complain if you find it too noisy, too hot and too crowded...but u can sit at the beer garden and drink away....
I miss the hustle and bustle too. And it sucks cause it's cold and gloomy now. You're right! It's as if summer just abruptly ended :( *sigh*

Eee! No thank u, wuching! From how QV describes it, it's like some kind of orgy...all in one room! And he's inviting u to share his room! Oh dear! Oh dear! These days, when two guys say they wanna go fishing, hunting...or to some music festival, people get suspicious! Ha ha ha!
HAHAHAHA!! and you just killed yourself...when one teacher and 3 or 4 students go debating and stay in a hotel..you start to get worried..HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
anyway..for your info, its two rooms adjoining, one peninsular room and one standard room, so its big enough to accomodate most people..but not STP :P
I didn't mentione the blogger formerly known as Jeremy C name as a certain Ms. from KL would be at the festival and be at the room also......dnt want to see a war there....hahahahahahhaahhahahahaha....dnt think they would be enough weed to cool everyone down hahahahaha
See, wuching! I told u in my comment 4 previous post, he's delirious! Had too much to drink 4 bfast & probably had weed 4 lunch!!! Getting worse now!!!
QV: thankz lah but i'll sleep inder the tin roof of ur garage lah, not cold in malaysia bah but maybe eaten by mosquitoes! on 2nd thot, i'll find a hotel lah! thank u anyway..
STP: u also i don't know lah, stay in hotel with boys! michael jackson kah?

Told u not to listen to that fella, on high oredi! I was teacher in charge & had my own room. The boys had to squeeze into one room and what they did in the middle of the nite, I don't know! QV was 1 of them, so he should be able to explain why up till today, ALL of them are not married!!! Ha ha ha!

Some people just cant get msg! Wuching already told him to post in his own blog...but wuching, u pity him lah! He puts there, nobody reads! Ha ha ha!!!
QV: so ur saying u swing both ways, wuah..more choices hor!
I'm out! People wondering why I'm so hardworking...on the laptop all day, not talking to any1. They starting 2 get suspicious! Ha ha ha!
DID STP just outed himself? I'm confused.....
That's the 2nd time I've seen some1 using the word "outed" and I don't know what that means! 1st time was in jc's blog & when I askd 4 meaning, no response! Was it u then, QV...trespassing where u were not wanted under a fictitious name?
Already post in my own blog lah...I think wuching was talking bout the mushrooms and grass...anyway..sorry ah wuching..talking crap here as usual, like I said..too lazy to sms so leaving msg for STP in your blog...cheaper also...hehehe..every cents count lah..not as rich like STP or STP's dad for that matter.....which eventually would go to STP and thus STP would be rich..hahehehehe..so have to watch every cent mah..
QV & STP: i don't mind u guys yapping just dont get agro & i couldn't care less but its nice to know that u 2 show love & affections for each other so dearly! *runs*
