I was on my way to Kuching for the first big step in my music career.
The airport was crowded, long queued with people to Kuching.
AK6547, the plane i was boarding. I've been travelling with plane quite few times already, but somehow this time, the plane feels different for me. I use to board it to fly from one spot to another, now i board it to fly for my dream.
After a slight nap in the plane, the voice of the landing notification woke me up. And set in front of my eyes were the International Airport of Kuching.
It's like racing with the time when i reached the terminal, rushing to get my guitar and find my grandfather's brother.
They brought me back to their warm and nice little house and arranged a room for me. It was my cousin's bedroom. Cosy and tidy. Had a long conversation with both my "grand uncle and auntie" that night. Likewise, elder's advise is the best. I learnt a lot.
20th May 2009. The main event. The audition was held at The Grand Continental hotel which my grand uncle told me that his car was intruded when he was there to entertain my father's arrival to Kuching. Bad Security.
Back to topic, i was there and just realised that there was a paper test. It was awful, i did 80% of it, with my eyes closed. They asked who is the director of a certain theater... er... how are we suppose to know? Asked the other candidates after that, none of them knows..
Here's the candidates. Not all enrolled in music, some are in other departments.

The one with the guitar is from Marudi, Cassie. His name.
If there would be distinctive students in near future, these 3 should most probably in the list. From Left, Jeremiah, excellent guitar player. Middle, don't know his name, and base on his looks i believe you know that he's in acting department. Talented actor i must say. Right, Atiq. Charming malay who has nice voice but was suggested to take acting, don't know why.
These will be my colleague, if i were to enter the school...
After the tiring interview, of course i am hungry. And grand auntie prepared wonderful lunch for me. =)
Later on the afternoon, grand uncle brought me to The Spring, which i heard was the largest mall in Kuching. No bad.
Grand uncle insisted to treat me a dinner, so he brought us to eat beef noodle.
The front view of The Spring.
This is the best picture of my grand uncle and aunt. =P Let's keep them a mystery
The Sheraton Hotel that Chin Pek Kin said to be build in Miri.
The Scenery of KIA. Don't get me wrong, not Killed In Action, it's Kuching International Airport.
Look what i've found. No way i'm missing this one. I'm still on my journey in tasting Sundae cone from all around the world.
Took this pic for the view at the first place. Then she popped out in my camera, adding embelishment to my picture.
Lastly, a sudden event during my flight back. Look who's on the plane with me?
