KLUE Urbanscapes

Gladys and I went to KLUE Urbanscapes for a bit on Saturday at KLPAC, Sentul West around 4pm – mainly to go see what they were selling in the Marketplace, we’re big fans of these flea market kinda things. We couldn’t stay long anyway coz she had plans around 7pm.

For one thing, the parking was terrible. I had to pusing2 a few times before finding parking at this field which was bumpy. Another thing was the marketplace should have been planned out better – coz it was all stuffy and packed. And it was oh so HOT HOT HOT! Everyone was sweating buckets out there.

I bumped into the Persetankan (DFJJ) group (sorry tak ingat nama semua org – Jasmine, Bali, Ikmal, err..siapa lg?) who were sitting relaxing at the side of KLPAC, Su Ann happily shopping with her bf, Carmen and noticed a few bloggers (whom I’m not close to). Omar dtg lambat, kalo tak leh jumpa. Nik Ryu, Ariff and gang were inside but it was rather packed so I decided against going inside (plus also didn’t have much time).

The Random Acts (facebook link) people were there too, doing their Rob thingy. This is where people were walking around looking for someone – screaming out his name, tapping random ppl and asking them. Hehe! Caused a lot of puzzled looks. Funny!

Besides all the goodies for sale – there were bags, and clothes, and wallets and handmade stuff and bangles, accessories, necklaces, hats, bikinis – there was also baked goodies – I spotted Wondermilk with their cupcakes – and a booth of drinks. They even had beer! (tho it was RM12/can)

There was also an outdoor acoustic stage by the lake. That was really nice

Honestly, I didn’t quite enjoy myself there. Perhaps it was the rather cramped space and the heat (I can’t stand heat). Perhaps it was also some people who were there just for the sake of being there and looking cool. “Pretentious” said G. Perhaps I’m just not ‘hip’ enough for this kinda crowd. LOL!

Anyway, it was a really great effort by KLUE – first arts fest of it’s kind I think. Perhaps next time it could be done in a bigger venue?

p/s: No pics from me because it seems that every young person with a DSLR was there. LOL!

Freeze For World Earth Day

Posted by IcedNyior on April 17, 2008  |  15 Comments

After all that buzz created by the KL Freeze @ Pavilion the other day, Hitz.FM requested that another freeze be organized in conjunction with World Earth Day so here are the details:

Venue : Sunway Pyramid
Time : 8.00pm or 2000 hours
Date : 20th April 2008 (Sunday)

And here’s a (because some might say that its useless and waste of time) REALLY GOOD REASON to do it:

The average person globally uses 2255 Watts of power, or a little less than 23 x100 Watt light bulbs (www.wattzon.org). Thats wasting a lot of power. Now imagine that we freeze the daily activities of as many people as possible for only 5 minutes, then we’ll be saving a lot of power.
If you’re at home and can’t join us at Sunway Pyramid, no problem. Just switch of all your power at home and FREEZE, in total darkness for 5 minutes.
If you’d like to know more about conserving energy log onto www.wattzon.org
That’s where we got educated.

So for those who missed it on the 13th, this is how you do it.

1. Go and synchronize your clocks on RandomAlphabets.com to make sure everyone freezes at the right time.
2. Be at Sunway Pyramid well before 8pm. Go about minding your own business. Most people would be congregated at the concourse or designated main area so spread yourselves out for maximum impact.
3. Sharp at 8pm – FREEZE!!! (Be creative with your poses, you’ll be viewing them on Youtube for ages to come)
4. When it’s time to UN-FREEZE, if you feel like cheering for a Freeze well done by all means go ahead. If you feel like walking away casually as if time did stand still for 5 minutes and consequently puzzle the guy who was staring at you, go ahead. As YOU please.
5. Mingle. Enjoy the rest of your evening. (As earth friendly as possible)
