I told you I would be there! teehee. I am suppose to go with a friend. but HE CAME LATE T_T. ok not his fault anyway. so I had very little pictures of me taken (2 only wth!). but nevermind, I am very nice I’ll still tell you about the event. xD.

I bet you can’t read that little sign. well it says “pek S.O.X. PERCUMA!”. you get to go to a free event, and.. get free stuff?!

pretty cupcakes. and yeah, you are really looking at a KETUPAT cupcake. AHHAHAHA. =X. well, it’s Malaysia!

bijou bazaar! I bet it reminds you a lot of urbanscapes. =P.

brown shoes! *points*

it was.. a little bit like Sungei Wang the open air version =P.

the open air games, unfortunately they were quite empty when I took this picture because I took it right before I was going home and everybody was filling up the stadium at that time. (Pesawat + Caprice, sure larh. =P.)

I so wanted to get my face painted with a “Happy B’day SUZUKI!” but but but there were like 10 kids in front of me and the MC outside were saying that there will be performances by Caprice and so on coming up in a while, so I rushed into the stadium =P. (but I end up not seeing him anyway =/. good friend’s birthday is always more important haha.)

I didn’t know what this is even till now. but I am guessing, guitar hero? =D. (no I don’t play guitar hero. T_T. I know very outdated larh! #(&$#$@)

and INSIDE THE STADIUM.

the badminton stadium’s really clean you know. they were even checking our body temperature with that little machine thing and we were given free hand sanitizers to make sure we are cleaner.

and the on stage competition! – the best S.O.X. shoutout.

guys, don’t think otherwise of this picture! >=).

everybody in school last time used to do this in aerobics class! but not anymore =/. and for a teenager to do it, I find it really cool =P. and how on earth do anybody think of putting such a post in a shout out!

the judges. at first I was thinking why do they all look so young ; and why do they look so familiar. until I saw JEREMY! then I remember, the judges are all the charm all stars members. =P.

the judging is based on the SCREAMS =P.

and when they scream, earplugs would really be useful =P.

this team was the MOST ENTERTAINING in my opinion dispite of their utmost ghey costume. well their moves were quite sissy (intentianally, to make everybody laugh =P) too! if I am not mistaken, they’re from SMK Cochrane.

I always love funny performers, they make us happy. =D.

that little boy in front looked like he was in a drama play rather than a cheerleading competition =P.  very cute.

my favourite costume out of all. simple and sweet. and that of course, have something to do with my favourite colour, white. =P.

the girl is really charming no?

and something I noticed from that day, almost all teams have at least one person who would stick their tongues out when they are on top!

and if that is not cute enough for you. you MUST see this.

the girl in the middle, the girl in the middle, the girl in the middle! MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR CUTE.

and later on they have the “screaming” competition. their voices were so sharp, they would be heard from a few km away WITHOUT the mic.

even the MCs beh tahan. flying away some more!

EMAS, our Malaysian (another) international cheerleaders or something, I kind of prefer Charm All Stars but they’re not bad =D.

then there were performances by these dancers (White Percussionists) which were superb. they could literally SPIN around (to me, like Sonic the hedgehog.) on the floor without using their hands or whatsoever. but because they were so fast in every act I couldn’t catch any still pictures of them =(.

and when PESAWAT came out. =O.

I think you just have to look at the crowd. =D =D =D.

okay okay enough– I know you are missing my face already. not.

watudu, I feel damn ugly that day I didn’t want to even show you my face actually. =(.

tada! this is the better looking picture of me already. =/. not my day for the camera!

Yee Jin reached approximately only 5minutes before I HAD to leave. >=(.

utterly cute, no doubts! the fish mouth. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZUKI! I will blog about the outing if I have time =P. and when the other camera man send me the majority of the pictures of the event. =D. later on that is. hehe.

PS : I seriously MUST do something about my hair already. =S.

PSS : all the pictures on top were taken by Victor’s (Chin) Nikon D90, mine’s still at the service centre. you should NEVER trust a Malaysian’s word. because for an average Malaysian, they tell you that by this week the camera will be ready, and by end of the week, it is still not ready. (GRHH.)

ciao people!

yes, I am serious.

because now there’s Celcom S.O.X. All Stars March & Cheer!

didn’t make it the last time? missed the golden opportunity? well NOW opportunity is knocking on your door! remember, such opportunities don’t always come!

you know, marching is not just a boy thing. and who says that hearts and stars isn’t allowed!

they were really special. and I bet you can be even more. nobody tried to do a butterfly! (lame. nexttt). MILY WAY! I like this one. (not so lame.) or er, a smiley face!!! ( I won’t blame you for being speechless. it’s still an idea. =D. )

and to be in it is really REALLY easy, more of a win-win situation in my opinion. you just have to be a S.O.X. user; it’s cheap and the rates are really convincing. =D! (1/2 cent per sms, attractive enough? I can actually send 10 smses for every sms I send now, and I am regretting it already.) AND, only us YOUNGSTERS (12-18 years old) can take part! the old hags can’t boo hoo >=).

S.O.X. All Stars will be going around schools in Peninsular Malaysia, (check their school tour schedule to see when they will be going to your school!) to invite YOU to join this competition personally!

and after you are invited, you can then send in the forms obtained from when they visit your school or you can also download the Competition form and the Exemption and Liability Release form, fill it in, scan them and send them to soxallstars@xpax.com.my or fax them to 03-78054598. and voila! you’re done!

and the best part, well to me at least =D, the PRIZES!

so LOOK carefully.

RM1,000 for 3 best teams for each region per category.

RM5,000 first, RM3,000 second, RM2,000 third and also RM1,000 just for being popular! all with goodie bags.

RM500 for being the best Drum Major or Team Captain.

RM100 for EACH MEMBER for best dressed. (if I am you, I’d be aiming for this one =P. 50members x M100 = 5k already!)

the marching competition held in my school 2 years ago. they were incredulous, my school’s rock tiles even broke. for your information, for this contest, you can design your very own marching costume =D.

like this one, I quite like it, maybe a different cap will do the trick =P.

also, JOIN FAST! because.. there are limited spaces and.. the closing date is on 5th August 2009.

you know you want it. >=D.

NEXT! THE EVENT!

15th of August, 8.30am onwards, Stadium Badminton Cheras.

this event will be much bigger than Cheer as it is combining with Marches as well =P. and for your information, it is the FIRST Cheer and March competition in Malaysia! which means, this one will be JUST AS EXCITING as cheer! oh no, sorry, I mean, it will be MUCH MORE EXCITING. witnessing such a great competition while having fun yourself? how often would you find it? and I have reasons for what I say.

WHY?

First of all, PESAWAT and CAPRICE WILL BE there. It is CAPRICE okay (the guy above), none other =D. many friends of mine were really envious when I told them I met Caprice, and here he is, performing on that day, don’t say I didn’t inform you zealous fans! *winks*. Liyana Jasmay, One Nation MC, EMAS (the cheerleaders), White Percussionists will be there too!

ALSO, there will also be indoor games such as stage games by the MC, Male cheer (It comes with props okay!), Female drum jamming, and Best S.O.X. shout-out!

and for outdoorsy people, I am here to tell you that there will be game stalls like those you’d see in funfairs, inflatable, celebrities dunk (dunking machine), face painting/tattoo, bijou bazaar (shops!), and more!

you should really youtube cepoeira, and you’ll definitely tell yourself to not miss out the event =P. okay actually I am really kind *coughs* so click HERE to see!

PS : the SMS voting period is 10th of August – 15th of August. So support and VOTE for your cheerleading/marching team!

see you there!

yesterday itself, I went to CWZJ to tryout some new arrived crabs =D. you know, this is really the first time eating so much crab, my max before this was eating 2 harry crab but then, they were small. these are REALLY HUGE. you’ll get what I mean later. =X.

Pu’er tea. my cousin told me that these will make me skinnier and yes, I really think it will, still not sure about the truth ahahah! the ones outside isn’t nice! usually they will give you the freshly made low quality ones, whereas pu’er tea must be enjoyed slowly and the older the tea, the better. also not to forget that there’s a certain technique to make it.

the idea of soaking tea in the teapot for as long as you want in many restaurants are horrible! you can NOT compare it with enjoying tea here the traditional way <3.

haiks! the main topic today, CRABS. YUMM. this very very red crab is the indo mud crab!

and it is photogenic. no, I can not possibly be jealous of a crab!

this crab is really really huge. but if you ask me if I can finish it, I would say… no problem. *winks*. the taste is a little bit salty in the flesh and don’t worry it is really fresh, good texture. <3.

THIS ONE! is the same type of crab living in India. I know right why are the Indian crabs fairer than the Indo ones. =O. ok, it’s a bit softer than the other one; sweeter. I am not really sure about how good crabs are but I really like it. =D. especially with their special home made dipping thai sauce. YUM. I ate the most as my grandma can’t really eat much (shell food D=).

more crabs coming!

THIS IS THE BESTEST. no they are not humping, they are both females!

VIRGIN Mud Crab! why is it called a virgin? don’t ask me, (ask the people there =D) but I’ve never had female crabs that have such sweet and soft crab paste(?). in cantonese, Hai Kou. whatever it is called T_T. anyway, it have the finest texture (among those I’ve ate; I least like alaska crab actually, though it is not bad too, depends on the person who is eating it ^^), very fragrant, and best of all, it have the perfect combination of sweet and salty taste.

after you eat the Crabs here, crabs from the other restaurants might as well taste like crap. other than Fatty Crab; I really like it there =X. or you can say, that is the only other place I enjoy crab other than in CWZJ.  =D!

and the vinegar from china! for crabs heee. =D. it is said to kill bacteria and all. healthy and tasty mm.

and there’s a tasty crab with mee also! I kind of prefer having it steamed though. =D. more tender. well, as for the mee, it is hmm, somewhat as addictive as MaMee. if you know how mamee tastes like =3.

for 3. =X.

now I bet you know why theres no rice. =D.

the sauces, homemade thai on the top, vinegar on the bottom. it is BLOODY GOOD. I personally favour the thai sauce. you know, females love sour and spicy stuff >=). yes I am a little chilli padi. haha.

the crab tools! ask for assistance if you don’t know how to use them =D.

or well, you can get them to do it for you, too.

and OF COURSE I KNOW HOW TO USE THEM! =X. she insisted! =P. I cracked some of them myself too okay! hahaha.

*points* there! see it?! the crab paste(?) of the female virgin mud crab! imagining it makes me drool. but also, for you paste(?) lovers out there, YOU MUST TRY THE HARRY CRAB EVERY END OF THE YEAR!

the chicken with herbal sauce <3. it’s very soft, and it is the first time I actually ate chicken with the skin on without feeling like I would gain a few kilograms, maybe because of it’s herbal taste and the thin skin. I like chickens like these, I am a weird girl, I love herbal stuff a lot. more like a kind of craving. =D. I love Guai Lin Kou, Leong Char, Wong Lou Kat(the so called very bitter herbal tea).. I only dislike bitter gourd (A LOT, more like hate). I think? =P.

and the daisy dose of vitamins =D.

Date : 27th June
Time : 12Noon – 12Midnight
Venue : KLPAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre)
Ticket Price : RM25 (presale), RM35 (at the door sales)

the long awaited day is yet to come (FINALLY!) and I bet many of you out there are excited to go to this event as last year’s one (also presented by Xpax at KLPAC) was a total BLAST. if you’ve never participated in it before, then you really should. have some fun ok! but if you still don’t have a clear image of what Urbanscapes really is, then let me tell you what it is.

it is a user-generated creative arts festival all day long! (organized by KLue. everybody loves this mag.) there, you’ll find all the best the city have to offer – music, arts, film, theatre and fashion, marketplace vendors and more. what’s best is, you get to dictate the show and take part as well!

in detail, there will be X lawn where you can see the singers you listen to everyday on Xfresh fm LIVE. then, there’s The Box, playing you acoustic songs all day long. if you’re into electric, The Sunset Disco will definitely suit you. not to mention that there will be street performances as well. who don’t love those? next, there will also be Indicine playing you all the local short films and videos while the Cinescapes stage will be playing our own local movies! buf if you are more of the classy-quiet kind of person, YES THIS EVENT WILL BE YOUR CUP OF TEA TOO. because there will be art exhibitions. and saving the best for the last, there will be SHOPPING THERE TOO! at the Marketplace. no, it is not like some cheap pasar malam stalls! the stalls are those which sells fabulous, cute, funky items where *coughs* shopaholics like me would definitely not want to miss.

 

I totally dig this. I’ll date you if you wear this. >=). provided if you have a cute KOREAN face to go along with it hahahaha.

love at first sight, with those shoes. Mmmm.

WHY do you need to be at Urbanscapes? because it is very fun lah, doink! their witty and creative styles will make you crave for more. how I know it? well, people who have been to the Urbanscapes NEVER MISSED THE NEXT ONE. and there is of course, a very good reason behind it.

to lure you even more, THERE WILL BE MANY GOOD LOOKING (and interesting!) PEOPLE THERE =D!

see what I meant by CREATIVE? I just love it that they hung the camera like that along with an old converse. who would’ve thought of that!

also, if you are a Xpax/U.O.X. customer, then lucky you! you will be able to get a pair of tickets for FREE! yes, the four letter word.

FREE!

but that is of course, you’d have to be among the first 200 customers. =D! all you have to do is reload RM30 and if you are not a Xpax/U.O.X. customer yet, simply by a RM30 reload and get a FREE Xpax/U.O.X. starter pack! (each customer can only reload once. remember this!) you will be able to get your tickets at the booth next to the ticketing counter at the event. so remember to be early!

very very good news to all of my species! opps, I mean, to those who love photography as well =D. BECAUSE… there will be a photography contest! it is called the (X)Snaps! you will have to be a Xpax/U.O.X. customer to be able to join the contest which will be going on from 27th of June to 11th of July.

how to join?

at the event, you will have to first snap pictures using you camera or your phone’s camera during Urbanscapes. the pictures MUST be in one of the following categories : colour, fashion, music and design.

THEN, you’ll need to upload the pictures either at the 24hour KL booth area by passing over their media card at the booth

OR
