MIME 2011

Last week was a blur! So many events going on in taylor's and I am running around trying to catch as many as possible. Fine, I guess is just me being crazy as I love attending events and socialise :)

Event name: MIME (Malaysia International Music Expo 2011 Music Education)
Date: 12-15 Sept 2011

Let's spread the joy of learning and understanding music to the youth.

On the whole, MIME provides a platform for music entrepreneurs to enhance and grow their businesses and for music educators to position their brands (institutions) in the industry.




 I was lucky enough to catch  a Music Talk by Mr. Hang Dimas, Hujan Keyboardist on 'Indiepreneur'

He talks to us about how indie band can be like and how sometimes rejection from music companies can happen. I can remember well that he said 'Don't do it just because you want fame and money. Do it out of passion.'

Okay Irrelevant. Zec and I snapping in the hall while listening to the talk. :)

Taylor's Merdeka Celebration 2011

Tanggal tiga puluh satu, bulan lapan lima puluh tujuh.......

Okay, maybe it's not exactly on the 31st August. This memorable day was held on the 10th September 2011 at 10am in the Taylor's University Amphitheatre.

I can still remember Mr.Ronson announcing through the speaker that links to all classes and room at about 9.45am informing students, lecturer and staffs regrading this 30 minutes Merdeka Celebration. I was surprised with the turn outs as many students and staffs actually gathered and join the festival.

Before this event, a group of students took the challenge and gotten much support from other students to help in the long banner that was hung on the celebration date! Picture as above.

Some of my friend/classmates in prep to perform :)
