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!

Friday Night

Went to lepak at a fren’s place in ampang with Ms Moesha. Was stuck in a bloody jam for almost an hour. Guess where the jam was? On the NKVE highway from Kota Damansara tol to Jalan Duta Tol which is just ONE toll away….and stuck for almost 1 hr padahal that is less than 10 mins usually. :-w

Went to pick up Ms Moesha at Sentul. We some how miscommunicated and she ended up waiting at a different place, lucky not that far away. Poor gal :P anyway we managed to find out way there. Lepak2 and played cards the whole night then at 7am ish went to send Ms Moesha to her frens place, and I went to another fren’s place to sleep. zzzz |-)

Sunday Night
I also went to watch Shrek 3 with Jai at Cineleisure. I was quite dissapointed that CinemaOnline.com gave it such a low review. They were kutuking the fact that the characters had the same kind of humour. Err…they’re the same characters…hello? But i agree that the role of Artie (Justin Timberlake) should have been deeper and given more screentime.

Anyway, I had lots of fun laughing during this movie – and I was probably the only one laughing at the ‘Hooters’ reference in the movie :)) The ending is of course rather predictable (as in most cartoon movies) – and I like how they intergrated other story book charaters like Merlin, Lancelot, Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. All in all, this is a great movie to watch to make you feel good :D

Rating : 4 out of 5 stars

(no pics coz Jai refused to take pics..saying he looked buruk :|)

Today (monday) I went to Bukit Bintang with Zakri to get a present for his gf…yea I had to go and follow him to help him choose what to buy. He shops like a girl! We went to so many shops to survey-survey things and compare prices. If me, I’ll just pick and go. But ituler…dah org tu sayang kat gf dier kan…so must get the best things.

First we went to parkson and bought a nice silver box. Then while walking, we saw Body Shop and noticed they had this huge sale, up to 50% off, so we popped in. And after smelling a hundred scents, he decided to buy the Rougeberry perfume for her. And I also TERbeli 2 bottles of shower gel which smelled heavenly and a small bottle of home fragrance oil which was CHEAP! Only RM37 in total.

Then finally we went to this shop to buy a very nice red and light red selendang for his girl and packed it nicely into the box. Oh yea, he also bought me one orange one because it was “the first time we met face-to-face (I got to know him last year through chatting) and that I helped him pick out the presents.” So sweet!

Nectarine & Plum shower Gel + White Tea Home Fragrance Oil + Orange Selendang

Thanks Zakri :D
