Pandarific!!

This is my first year going for this event,it's your all day art event for KL. And the funny thing, i got to know about it because Bus company (a band) asked it's followers to vote for it so that they might get chosen to perform (sadly they didn't), so that's how i found out about it. I looked around, and tought, "Hey i might as well go, see how the art scene is in Malaysia". So i invited Esther, my art kaki, lol no i don't call her that. She agreed (YAY!)

Before the event i had already checked out the performances i would like to watch, oh yes, just to let you know, by art here i mean art as in not just paintings but in music, acting, film,sculptures, photography and custom made shirts, jewellry,etc. So yes, the term art is very wide. I was actually looking for type tees but they only had singlets so bummer, or the words were in malay (not trying to be racist here, i just like it in english), saw loads of sarcastic button and funny ones too, like "i have my blonde moments" or "i know i'm hot but do you have to keep staring at me?"

There were these sculptures all around too, mostly made out of recycled stuff, yes it is the in thing people, go recycling! Esther and i watched the street performances (or fave) like KL stompers, RPT (rather peculiar theatre), Electric minds project (short plays), and the oral stage where you shout a scene and they have to translate it into a pose. i really liked this one and RPT, there were however vulgar words and poses which kinda degrades it abit (for me). But overall i think they're realy creative and funny.

We didn't hear the bands play though, didn't know any of them, ok so there was pop shovit but we didn't go see them play. We did watch a movie, produced in malaysia of course, it's called Gadoh, first i thought the theme was like Take the lead and all, well it did, the whole guy comes in to teach some delinquent kids theatre to try to change them. But there was another theme to it and it was racism and how it affects all of us, and i was pretty surprised at how outspoken they were on the racism issues, i mean you can literally hear them saying (in the movie) things that you may hear in conversations with friends or family. And there were funny parts too, without the actors having to be overboard silly like i've seen in so many local shows.

I brought a lot of money to be honest....ahhh didn't get to buy esther her present! sorry!! But i did buy gifts for other people, hope they like it.

Overall, i have to say it was a really fun event, wished there were more exhibitions (like photogaphy and paintings), loved the street performances, but they have got to relocate it next year, it's not fair that they have to compete with two bands in terms of sound. And i would recommend people to go for it! oh here's some advice, come early! because when i left, the parking was crowded, there was a jam, it's better to take public service or ask someone to drop/pick you up.

oh...random but....LORELAI AND LUKE ARE TOGETHER!!!YAY!!!!!!!!!!
