Last weekend we experienced an epic battle over at KLPac. Together with the band Seven Collar T-Shirt, we the audience engaged in what was called The Battle Protocol.

They have grown into a band to be taken seriously and The Battle Protocol proofs it. Read more...

She is Yuna

Have you had a day where nothing goes as plan? Today was that day for me. I had plan to go to a friend’s wedding in Putrajaya then straight to Sentul KLPAC to catch Yuna’s mini concert for her EP launch.

I over slept. Stayed up late the night before.

Decided to skip the wedding and went straight to KLPAC for Yuna’s EP launching. It’s my second time to KLPac and it still amazes me to see such a place, such beautiful landscape to exist in the middle of a chaotic city.

KLue Urbanscapes 2008 the aftermath

Written by J Shamsul, Tuesday, July 1, 2008 | 4

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.
