Post Thailand Ukulele Festival 2013

its been  more than a month since the recent Thailand Ukulele Festival and we didnt have a chance to update about our travel experience for attending the international event for the first time.

at first, its only two representative and at the very last minute, another two members come and tag along. surely its the event no one should ever missed - especially ukulele enthusiast! we met ukulele players from all around the world - Taiwan, Canada, Japan, USA, Philipines, Indonesia and of course Thailand itself.

being the ukulele player performing to represent Malaysia was such a great honor. thank you Ribbee Ukulele for giving us the chance to perform.

finally, we met Kyas Ryo from Japan. very nice guy whom we had him viewing via Skype during our own Malaysia Ukulele Day back in 2012. also not forgetting, Hawaiian superstar, Aldrine Guerrero, Kalei Gamiao, Derick Sebastian and Benny Chong.

we will make sure next year we will bring the whole Malaysia Ukulele ohana to come and join the fun. and hopefully, we can also make it to Taiwan Ukulele Festival, Hawaii Ukulele Festival and all ukulele festival around the world.

to end the story, here are some photo we took over the two days event.
Mahalo!

Canvas Photo Print by Ye Saya Daus Photography

as you guys know, our super talented photographer, Ye Saya Daus had done a superb job in capturing and reminiscing the ukulele memories and everything MUG had been through. its good to have him around to do documentation on our journey  spreading the ukulele awareness also sometimes, we do forced him to perform the ukulele on stage while we do the "moment-to-remember" on his behalf - haha. we never torture him thou. yes, we love him! 

to cut the story line short, from the photo that he took, he printed on to a canvas and selling for RM20 only! me and anuar had a copy and we were amazed by the printing quality. its worth the money - its cheap too dont you think? so, daus open for order for this two photo below - i know it may not have you in this photo, but for the love of ukulele, why not having one for art/decoration purposed? yes? :)

if you thought of doing special order, you can contact him personally - muhammadfirdausbinsalleh@gmail.com maybe he can work something out for you. 

you can also view his travelog via this link - Kembara Kita 

selling for RM20 each with frame.

order end this Friday, October 11th.
