It's back to the Reading Music Festival and since it's the last of the lot this summer, I thank God the weather's been holding up well so far. I always like to believe that we CAN bring the sun with us wherever we go. *wink* So since its been following me around, just out of curiousity I have to ask - Has it been raining back in KL? *laugh*

heading back in for more music

in my wellies, all set for a mud bath JUST in case it rains!

The second day of the Festival was spent touring the festival grounds - activity spots, food stalls, speciality shops - and of course, getting sandwiched among music enthusiasts and party goers.

from day...

...to night!

with the Tuborg contest winners Khek, Kimberly, Pala and KC *smile*

*laugh* Interestingly enough, we came across a food stall selling some so-called Malaysian food. *laugh* Ganesh, a friend from Malaysia who coincidently happened to be in UK at the same time, joined us for 2 days of the festival. He had a craving for Indian food on day 2 of the festival so we had just that. *smile* Not too bad for festival food though... *wink*

I'm so sorry for the delay. I've been having problems with the internet connection here at the hotel. =( Anyway, I'm glad to be connected again to post up Part 2 of Day 2 at Reading. *smile* We've had an introduction to the Festival. Nevertheless as always, no coverage of a music festival is complete without pictures of the people present... *wink*

all geared up for punk rock *laugh*

it's all about the hair!

...and some wacky outfits *wink*

who said music festivals are only applicable to adults?

in need of a butt tan? *laugh*

wig or real hair?

happy campers *smile*

Our anticipation for the music festival was rewarded by the beautiful English weather, despite forecasts of showers in the day. To top it up, the atmosphere at the festival was amazing, with the presence of thousands of music enthusiasts (particularly the rock genre of course *laugh*), some rather interesting shops and lots of food stalls! *grin* I reckon, slightly more colourful compared to Global Gathering. *smile* Apparently there was an internet scam which left almost 5,000 people ticketless at the entrance, so we had random people coming up to us asking if we would sell our tickets (and later wristbands) just to get into the festival grounds. 

getting in line for our VIP passes

guess who's hands these are? *laugh*

now you know why it's almost impossible to sneak in without a ticket? *laugh*

Thanks to Tuborg, we had the opportunity of going in as privileged guests, which meant we could eat our meals proper instead of having to camp and sit on the grass (which eventually became contaminated with beer spills and waste). Poor Kimberly and KC were almost freezing to death towards the later part of the night, but other than that I reckon we all had a good time. *smile*

you can never miss the typical festival food - bacon burger!

During the breaks Leonard and I took a walk around the festival grounds, and managed to check out a few interesting shops. 

hat shopping with Leo

viking hat? nah... *laugh*

i ended up buying this one. Hehe.

Leo decided not to buy this though... brings out the feminine side of him, don't you think? *laugh*

I ended up getting myself a few items at bargain prices, true Malaysian style. *laugh* Can you imagine a sheepskin coat at 10 pounds? *wink*
