Rocking out at Urbanscapes!
Jun 29, 2008 Events
What a day! Lots happened today (including finishing my taxes, which btw, is not finished yet) but the highlights had to be Urbanscape, then a nice foot reflexology with Elaine and Hansen and then yummy dinner at HSBC (the restaurant, not the bank).
Live art? Haha
We didn’t stay too long at the event held in KLpac, just a few hours, but it was fun enough. I managed to catch Estanged’s act (yes, I’m still a groupie), spent some time at The Marketplace, catch up with friends and of course, Rob!
I really liked a lot of the installations on display.
Yup, Project Rob - RA’s latest project - happened at Urbanscapes today and the victim was Adrian Yap - the publisher of KLUE and the other magazines they, umm, publish. It was quite cool, some of us were wearing RA’s new line of T-Shirts (should be on sale soon) and we got people at various points to ask people if they had seen Adrian. Then people started shouting along - Adrian! Adrian Yap! Adrian!
It was quite funny! :)
There were so many things happening at Urbanscapes though, so I got lost midway through but I enjoyed myself (although it was hot beyond belief)! And parking was crazy too! Madness!
But anyway, yeah, it was nice seeing so many people there, and I shot quite a few photos too.

Ohh, Adam so sexy. Must be from when he was secretly in love with me.
With Jin and another friend I don’t remember the name. Soz!

The Bangsar Boy: The Sound of Music
May 17, 2008 The Bangsar Boy
On Wednesday, me, Elaine and a couple of friends drove over to 1-Utama to catch Marie Digby in person. I have to admit that I wasn’t a fan, and the only song I know from her is her cover of Rihanna’s Umbrella. Still, Hansen thought she smelt nice when they interviewed her on the NTV7 Breakfast show, so we all went. It was okay, but I was more amused by the crowd than the performance. One really funny part was when she started singing Umbrella, and some guy opened one up and started waving it around.
After some ice-cream, we headed over to Laundry Bar at The Curve, where a few local acts were performing at a Motorola event. We were late so we only managed to catch Karen Nunis Blackstone and well, Estranged. I have heard of the band naturally (and that one song - Itu Kamu) but I have never watched them live.
All I can say is I’m glad I did (I am so going to be an Estranged groupie from now). So for The Bangsar Boy, my fortnightly column in The Star which was published today, I gush about them and recall about a particular incident as a kid in primary school when my friends, most of whom lived in Kampung Kerinchi, labelled me a rocker.
Yes, it’s laughable … but it happened. Click here to check the article out. Feel free to come back here to log your comments, aye?
