Urbanscapes 2009

Held at KLPAC grounds in Sentul Park on June 27th, it was a day of good fun. I was attending it initially to lend support for my fellow KLickrs, but instead went on to enjoy myself.

There were live performances aplenty, sketches and street plays, exhibitions, stalls and of course the gigs. The food was not too bad either. What is clear, it was very well organised and was not your typical Malaysian event. I'll definitely be going again next year, but I suspect that the organisers may need to find a bigger venue.

090627 Urbanscapes 1 - Arriving and Parking
I arrived at the place early just to avoid traffic and I must say it worked. Managed to park within comfortable walking distance to the entrance while not being too near to avoid the gridlock heading home later. And it was shaded as well.

There was already a decent crown building up, and the weather was pretty warm.

  • 090627 Urbanscapes 2 - Hmmm! Where to go next? <br /> I must say it was lack of planning on my part. When I bought my ticket, I was handed a small booklet containing the maps and programs .... now it's decision time. Since it was hot, I thought I head into the building first and check the what the KLickr slideshow has to offer.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 3 - The crowd <br /> I noticed that I was pretty old than the average crowd. But then again ... it's what you feel inside that matters.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 5 - The KLPAC foyer <br /> The actual building entrance appear small looking at it casually, but it opens up nicely into rooms and halls. There is also a restaurant next to the entrance. The building looked like an old converted building that one suspect may have been used by the railways. Sentul is famous as a KTM workshop in the years gone by and there are still railway lines sprawl in the area.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 4 - The slides are up <br /> When I first go to the exhibition area, I was surprised that the slides were not up yet and no one from KLickr was around. Maybe I was too early after all. I then went to check out the short films and explore the venue.<br /> <br /> Apparently Shafina was not happy with the first draft and went away to compile another one. Unfortunately there was a glitch converting the file into one that the DVD can read. Thank God the organiser has an iMac handy ... and walla!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 7 - Psytrus <br /> A two-piece band on guitar. They played a 30 minute set. Quite nice sing-along tune, all their original work.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 9 - Yes .... smoking is bad for you! <br /> Hmmm .... why was it decidedly smokey in there?
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 8 - Sentul Park <br /> I then went out to the park to check out the other acts .. and to have lunch!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 10 - Theatre for Young People (T4YP) <br /> An ensemble act doing sketches on things we put in the suggestion box a-la 'Whose Line is it Anyway'. A few of the gags hit the note but not all. It was lots of fun anyhow.

  • 090627 Urbanscapes 12 - Shahridir & Nizam P These guys rocks! Shahridir can definitely carry a tune and Nizam was awesome at drums and percussion. They sang their own material, all in Malay with tinge of the blues in them. My favourite piece is called 'Babi&quot;, yes, pig or khinzir. They are not singing about the flu if you're asking that! Anak babi itu, jalan tunduk, Sebab malu, mungkin mak and bapaknya jugak babi! Epic!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 13 - Streetshow Galore <br /> Those are two girls dressed as men and the tall one with the umbrella is a Caucasian man.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 16 - A Quick Lunch with Fellow KLickr <br /> I did snack some hotdog while watching the outdoor act. However, I didn't say no when Ripi, Prakash and Shafina went down for lunch. Considering the hectic day, the food I thought was pretty good, in here and also at the stalls.<br /> <br /> My hotdog was good, and the creme brule was fantastic. Here I had some pasta and ice lemon tea, and they are not bad.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 17 - @dipak the troubleshooter <br /> We finally managed to recompile the slides and burn it onto a DVD. But I wonder why is @di such an attraction? Two cameras on him simultaneously. He might combust if we are not careful!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 18 - @dipak and me <br /> I actually know him for a long time as our mothers were like sisters when they were little girls. Such a small world eh!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 19 - Shafina and Magnus <br /> Miss Shafina practically runs KLickr! Listen to her ... or else ....
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 20 - Me! Me! <br /> By the entrance, there is a flea market and the stuff on show were pretty neat. If I have more time I would've stopped by longer and actually buy something, but the weather was turning at that point.<br /> <br /> You can see the colourful characters at the stalls. Everyone was having fun!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 21 - Bagful of Bounties <br /> They sell their wares here by the bag!
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 22 - The Flea Market <br /> There are close to 50 stalls all together.
  • 090627 Urbanscapes 23 - Stoodle <br /> I received a tweet from my friend Mahariz asking me to visit the stall. I did buy something from here ... but what? .... No discount ah?
