Yet another Apple special event day went down lastweek. The supreme overlord, our beloved cult leader, Steve Jobs comes down from the mystical mountain of supreme divine innovation and gives us mortals his legendary keynote speech.

As usual I was not invited. However that doesn’t stop me from following the event live. Tracking tweets from Twitter, lurking in IRC back channels and refreshing Engadget as fast as I could click the refresh button.

Right after the event is over, I wrote a short report of what when down on MyMacBUZZ, the Malaysia based Apple blog I co-blog once in a while.

Here are two things I had noticed on the keynote.

A report on last weekend’s KLue Urbanscapes 2008, the city’s all-day creative arts festival held at KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center). Although I’ve heard many things about KLPac from friends, but this was my first time to KLPac.

The place blows my mind away. Situated at Sentul, which is in the middle of busy KL city, but once you are inside you will loose all notions that you are still in the busy hectic cosmopolitan city known as Kuala Lumpur. On the way in, you are greeted with beautiful greenery landscapes, clear lake and an old A’ Famosa colonial-esque building. KLPac with its huge spaces of greenery is perfect for events such as this.

KLue Urbanscapes 2008 on the other hand was a kaleidoscope of sights, scenes and sounds. It is as if all of the city’s creative communities gathered at KLPac and do their thing. Also it seems as if everybody in KL who has Digital-SLR cameras are there at KLPac, Urbanscapes. All kind of camera was present. Everybody all trigger happy, including myself.

We were early for Urbanscapes. This is notable, because rarely do I manage to come early on such events. There are goodies for early birds, we got a paper doll thingy from Urban Cr3atures.

KLue Urbanscapes, the city’s all-day creative arts festival sounds interesting. It will be held at KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center).

The organizer is working with various groups, collective and individuals letting them decide on what’s going to happen at Urbanscapes 2008. The general public can also votes to influence on which music acts to be featured.

Creative communities of different fields, music, arts, lifestyle and film will all be together at KLPAC for a whole day of awesome creative artsy fun. The festival will split into several different sections.
