rockstars and artists

hiya luvs,

eventhough i'm far from looking like a cool hipster, i did go to art school believe it or not lol i did participate/curate/organize exhibitions, art groups, photography clubs; but those were the days when i was younger, more energetic, more optimistic, more visionary but now, i sit back and enjoy seeing young blood do their thing :)

i went to see an exhibition at mapskl and met my bunch of lovely creative friends. i was enjoying the catching up more (despite my sore throat that left me with no voice i still managed to have a good time)

enjoy the pics!

on a less cultured note ;) i went karaoke-ing with the boys. i usually go karaoke-ing with my girls but this was an exception. it was my best guy friend; vincent's post-birthday meet up session.

it started well and respectable at 8pm and it sorta went downhill after two bottles of whiskey and a flaming lambo. i, however, remained sober and still clutching the mic! lol enjoy the pics!

the colours of hari raya

hiya luvs,

this was a festive month here in malaysia. we had our eid - hari raya, national day and malaysia day all within 3 weeks. our eid or hari raya is same routine each year. since i still live with my parents, my siblings and their family will come visit us on the first day of hari raya around 11am.

my mum would have prepared a feast that consumed all her time and energy two weeks before (bless her) and i would be asked to make some cakes and cupcake (much easier task than cooking malay traditional food) for the brunch/lunch.

everybody would come dressed in their new clothes. festive and colourful, even the menfolk will make some effort. after our lunch and catch up, the children will receive money packets duit raya from the parents and grand parents, and then the whole family will be cam-whoring away! enjoy our hari raya family album!

and some pictures from my guest photographers my niece and nephew, adam and maya. enjoy the extreme close ups! lol Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

eventhough hari raya can be a repeat, almost routine like each year, i wouldn't change it one bit.
