for the Kaamatan Festival at KDCA

where the Unduk Ngadau is held at the main hall

thank god

*air cond u saved my life :)

 after lunch at Pak Man's

we arrived at KDCA around twopm 

managed to get in the hall

secured some seats

and the Unduk Ngadau begins

The main hall fully occupied

priority no. 1 

this is the theatrical dance opening ceremony of the event.
the storyline of the dance is based on the legend of Hominodun

The 40 Unduk Ngadau finalist representing each district of Sabah.
The problem with Unduk Ngadau is that , the contestant walks so slow eventhough they are not heels.
I guess this is how they judge the poise and beauty of person :s
but seriously so damn slow one . for all the finalist to walk and be in position on stage i roughly estimated the time  needed is around 15 -20 minutes. serious. tak tipu

Finally all the contestant on stage. Lidut gila dia jalan. Lidut means slow.
and i really think that they should be accompanied by traditional music while they walk in , not by some random music .

plus , when they were introducing the judges, giving away token of appreciation or something like that ,it was accompanied by Pirates of the Caribbean theme song . What the F? seriously in my mind Capt. Jack Sparrow was running or escaping from some enemy . Seriously Pirates of the Caribbean theme song ?????? sumpah not suitable at all. pisses me off through out the whole event . 

Blacked out . Unduk Ngadau Peringkat Negeri Sabah boleh boleh pulak  blacked out. seriously
dahla discovery channel tgh cover pasal event ni. pfft. bukan seklai pulak tu ada dua tiga kali . eff

Gongs and Kulintangan keeping us company during the blacked out.

15 finalist. 

The 15 finalist had a round of Sumazau dance with the VIP.

Last year's winner , Crystal Eve from Tanjung Aru  giving her last appearance before handing the title to the this year's winner

with daphne iking . denise mtv vj was there to  as she was on duty to cover for her  discovery channel show.
my friends lost interest in the unduk ngadau results , once they  announced that denise was in the same event hall. 

winners of the unduk ngadau 2011
the winner goes to the Penampang district
Penampang district is the host to this event
the winner Bo Tiza Arthur S Disimon of Penampang clearly didn't managed to give a  non stutter  answer for the Q & A session. come to think of it she did a really horrible job on answering despite having the advantage of  being the last person questioned. by then u should be well prepared since there is only 5 question and there is 15 finalist . sheesh and yet she managed to settle in as the seven finalist and subsequently winning the crown . pfft. such a waste of my precious time seating throughout the comp and the results were definitely biased . full of crap shit .
