Borneo Jazz Festival 2013

Hey there!!
For almost 4 months leaving this blog without any updates.

So, here goes..

This is my second semester of year one in UMS as a Music Student and now coming to end and preparing for the final exams. Unfortunately, I didn't managed to post anything about my first semester's studies (maybe I'll post something after the final exams). 

So, on the 10-12 May 2013, we had a class trip to Miri for fun, foods & JAZZ music (we are music students). It was a 3 days 2 nights at Miri, but the real intention was to attend the Borneo Jazz Festival 2013 and to experience Jazz Music.
