Actually I was in the lack of idea… and but what came to mind was about this two things… I’ve been thinking and think, and realized I should just blog about it… But it just my opinion… and no offense people… =P
I went to JomHeboh before, in the year 2004 if I’m not mistaken… and it was called SureHeboh… at the Padang Merdeka… The recently JomHeboh, I missed it… and yeah, what to say… to regret? hmmmm… What’s in JomHeboh? Nothing… it’s free concert where people or anyone public can easily go without you have to pay… you just need to pay for what you want to buy there… if you buy nothing means you not need to spend any money for the event… I paid only for my food and hotel for the SureHeboh 2004… even though it happened in Kuching, but my friends and I decided to have a stay at Harbour View hotel so that we did not have to worry about parking and what so ever… and that, we only went there during the nights… so that we did not get any sunburn… Including the hotel, I spent for about RM200 just for Sure Heboh… 2 nights stayed at the hotel…
Rainforest World Music Festival? I went there once too… and happened this year… The first time going there… and yeah, my ticket was paid by Cyril… happened at Sarawak Cultural Village… He droves Mike and me there… the tickets cost him for RM180… for one day… and no staying… We attended workshop and whatsoever… we spent our money there for food and everything… and most of the things was not that cheap… but what to do… you have to buy it there… so, money won’t matter to survive… *sighs*
Why am I writing this? nothing… just to compare… I prefer going both… some might say, they only want to go for Rain-fest… which is must safer even though it’s pricey… some will say, they will go for JomHeboh, because it’s free… but for me, I prefer going both… I’m going to have fun… and searching for the fun… Talking about safety? You will always in the safe zone when you know how to take care of yourself… or maybe you only thinks about the low and high standards on going both? yeah… Jom Heboh might be free… and all public may go… even those whom has no money still can go… so no class maybe… and Rain-fest is pricey… and only those whom has money could get in… The ticket is pricey… what else the food… that’s what you’re thinking maybe… about the low and high standard you will be awarded by attending this both events…Never mind the crowd.. No matter whose in the crowd… you will always have the fun, if you intend on going to the events for fun… but not to show-off the standards you have… You will not drop your standards even you’re going for Jom Heboh… and you will not be awarded to another high standards on going for the rain-fest…
I don’t care about the standards… As long as I have the fun… So, I prefer both… No matter what you gonna say about me… It’s the fun I look in the events, not standards… As long as I can have the fun, and meeting people, and even enjoying myself, I would go for it… Even how low the standard of the event is… It means nothing when you less enjoyed but paid high… and it means so much when you enjoyed so much but paid nothing… I love going for both… but 2009 JomHeboh in Kuching, I missed it… *sighs*

yup, definitely true. just becoz the event has international perfomer, doesnt mean that the show is better than an event that has only local performer. ive been to sure heboh in lumut, perak. and i definitely had fun coz i got to meet and take pix with tv3 celebrities.
Yala… Matlamat going there, fun… and meeting people especially those TV3 personalities… ;)
The main reason why I skipped JomHeboh was coz of the weather. It’s hot and crowded. Safety of the car is also another reason because when you park so far away from the carnival location, it is hazardous and not mentioning tiring to walk.
Anyway, it’s true, no ones standard drop when going to a free event or a paid event. It is the same. The only difference would be one is free and the other would be paid for. Anyway, If given a chance to choose either one, I will still prefer going to the Rain-fest than JomHeboh. Not because I feel that there is lack in standards, but because at the Rain-fest, you get to learn something, and there is better crowd control with the presence of high-level security. After all, I have always wanted to meet Adibah Noor.
Btw, I was wondering, what if you guys were given the choice to go to only one? Which would it be? Would you go to JomHeboh where you meet up with celebrities, or would you go to the Rain-fest where you’d learn about different music and cultures?
No matter what… I prefer going both… About the car safety, pandai2 la… macam you park your car on ordinary days juga… The rain-fest that day also crowded with people… and even hot… ;P
Well, ppl brag a lot about going to RMWF but not to SureHeboh. Maybe double standards for Malaysian artists? Btw, I’ve been to both events, enjoyed myself in both events, but of course the atmosphere of both were tad different.
Yeah… I’m so agree with you… totally different the atmosphere… ;)
hahaha…asalkan sendiri enjoy, sudah kira bagus kan?
Yeah… Sure!!! :P
Actually iw ould have love to attend both and its not a matter of status standard of the event but the Health Standard. With the H1N1 thinigy, I would not want to increase the chance of contact with strangers of unknown origin. Like the flu, it will sooner or later infect but better not increase the chance of catching it :) if given a choice (and budget) I will still attend the two events for the diferent experience :)
Hahahahaha yup… you’re right… especially now… With the H1N1 thingy….
