Yes. My pocket is still feeling the 2k burn after returning from Taiwan. But it was a well-worthed burn.
Like Suan, i am going to serialize the Spring Scream postings into:
-Arrival & 1st dat outing
-Day out with Becky and PeiYu
-Performance Day
-Departure & Misc
Wednesday 4th April 2007, i finished my last class at 9.30pm and rushed to a clinic for a mysterious viral infection on my arm, and later made me had fever. Started speeding towards Penang at 11.15pm. Reached studio for last jam at 12.35am.
We had a one-off all songs jam before we left for Suan’s home at around 2am
Did not sleep though whole night as Metal and i watch how Roma hammered MU til 5am. By 6am we were already arriving at the Penang International Airport
The journey: Penang - HK - Kao Hsiung - Kenting
Lunch on air plane en-route to Hong Kong
with Siu Fei Chu (HK) & Mimi Chan (Japan) on the way to Kenting
with Mimi Chan guitarist / vocalist Ozawa San, oh, and the back drop is the ever famous Taiwan Ping Lang store…
Kentington Resort, nice place, nice food, nice weather, ya, nice chicks…
Welcome to 3108, Kentington Resort!
We are tired… dinner was not provided, but kiasu-esque Uglymen found a way to eat for FREE
It will be a really nice place to stay for the next 3-day / 2-night
“Circle Stage”, the place where Uglymen were to perform, very nice indeed
Marshall 1/2 stacks. Not my favourite amp, magnificent nonetheless.
White Eyes band from Taiwan, guess which band member am I looking at…
Ah huh… and i know which member are you looking at too…
here’s our free dinner, thanks to the most helpful Rebecca from HK, she arranged it for us, muacks!
with Goh Kurosawa, famous solo guitarist from LA, he is in the famous trio Sharp Three too.

A taste apart from the main acts~ Red Indian dance and chantings.
This photo was taken behind the Circle Stage, many food stalls were set up, we have so much food, which I dont eat any of it. Besides, there are also stalls selling cocktails, beers, and souvenirs.
There were 6 stages set up in the Kentington Resort, this was the Hill Side stage, the biggest of all. There were always 6 bands playing simultaneously at the 6 stages, so music enthusists had to choose which band to watch from the schedule lists.
After dinner, as we were walking back to our cabbin, we saw this Taiwan outfit which was very into Greenday punk stuff
Another Taiwanese band, very talented, bassist, vocalist, guitarist all play few instruments like er-hu, flute, gu zheng.
This photo taken at the Double Pig stage. As you may have notice, all stages used Dixon drums.
After walking through most of the stages, we went back to our Cabbin around 12am, tired with sleepy eyes, on the other hand, looking forward to the next morning, waiting to meet our hot chick ~ Becky.

Hi Mike,
Congrats on your outing, looks very successful.
Any incidents in the transportation of your guitars? Like if the customs gave you any trouble or not?
Looking forward to see your other entries!
