Island Escape

The joys of spontaneity can lead to exciting things.. Last Sunday we got tickets, Tuesday we left and Friday we returned.. Just like that!

It was first time going to Malaysia's East Coast Island "Pulau Perhentian" (the small one) after hearing so much about it and seeing the photos it finally came to pass. A quick flight from KL to Kota Bharu, taxi to Kuala Besut and 1/2hr fast boat to the island landed us with wet feet in a chalet at Panorama courtesy of the lovely Sharon Rozario.

Activities included:

• Chilling
• Eating (a nice variety of international foods)
• Swimming
• Snorkeling
• Walks on the beach
• Hikes
• Fishing
• Island Hopping
• Music & Movies
  
• Playing Uno
• Dancing & More

If you've never been, you really should check it out. At certain times of the year the Green and Hawksbill turtles nest and you can easily see them if you dive or snorkel. But make sure you visit between March and October to avoid monsoon season, which makes it very difficult to boat to the islands. I'll be back again next year!

Zulu Nation Malaysia

We've been planning to have an event or series of events for the promotion of Zulu Nation Malaysia and the promotion of quality Hip Hop music for the people to vibe to. I must admit that things have not been moving as quickly as I would like but there has been progress.

Zulu Nation Malaysia has represented in Singapore last month for the Illest Cipher Hip Hop Convention showing much love south of the border and spreading the positive vibes so it's time to get busy on the home soil and uplift the spirits and push things forward some more for Hip Hop in the region.

One Love!

MY Flow

Been dabbling in a new project lately. It's called MY Flow and is an Urban Music Chart meant to expose new and up coming artists in Malaysia. Though only in the Beta Phase now, the response has been amazing and song submissions continue to flow in! It's always been a thrill to discover now music and talent, now we can all listen in and vote on who we think deserves a spot in the TOP 10!

Hari Raya 2010

Eid Mubarak from "Raja Raya" Vandal!



As you can see I am rocking my Baju Malayu fresh for 2010 and getting ready for the celebrations in and around KL this year. Last year we spent the festive season in PD (Port Dickson) by the beach with the extended fam visiting houses and eating at least 4 times a day!

This year the eve of Raya (Eid) was spent in Shah Alam and the quest for the Best Rendang began! So far it's hard to say who is the clear cut winnner so I've decided on 2 winners this year.. They are - "Ma Chi" on the Shamsuri side along with Munir's lethal combo from Shah Alam (featured below)



Satay & Ketupat with homemade peanut sauce by Uncle Baktia!



Day 2 was an awesome road trip to Seremban visiting 4 houses before heading back to Shah Alam for a western closer of Dominoes Pizza and watch 3 Idiots. Exhausted.

Day 3 is here, now and getting ready for some good times chez Sona One...

Reflect, forgive and celebrate!

On The Beat And Path

Bringing the Beat to the Path is one of those runaway Canadians (much like myself) who, through his love of travelling and music, is strumming ahead and blazing trails with his own brand of travel show - On The Beat And Path. Following no particular tempo, Steve finds himself one riff closer to the adventure of a lifetime. Mostly his guitar does the talking and makes a majority of the decision, but Steve plays the good host and shows us around.



Once upon a time, I had my own little show brewing.. It never really went anywhere (or maybe it did?) but who knows.. After seeing how Steve has been putting it all together who says that the Vandigital can't resurrect good old Urban Camping? For now though, let's just enjoy the path we're on and work towards our dreams on step at a time.
