streets of indiependence

nite of 31 August 2007
went past this tax-payers 'iconic monument of Malaysia'.
Lit-up to the max for the occasion. Tun Mahathir must be a proud daddy-o

After that i head to this DIY street party at CM Annexe: a free gig+street fashion show+bazaar all into one event in conjunction with the merdeka (Checkout the flyer on the right). 13 Indie Rock acts were slated to perform which include Free Love, Muck, Komplot and The Rebel Scum to name a few.
I arrived very late so didnt manage to catch  the performance... (in fact i heard only 6 bands hit the stage before the authorities told the organiser to called it off - some kind of 'disturbance to the public') 2 words: Yuck Fou

since i arrived super-late, as you can see, not much of a street party...and not many bazaar left to coup some business DIY-style...but checkout these cool creative designs though.
And...errr...at the other end of the building the CM management (not the event organiser) held a screening of the film 'Paloh'..for patriotism sake?

coincidently my friend Jos had just finished his ACCA class nearby.  We hangout at Joe Kidd's Ricecooker shop and have a nice litte chat with him...topic? varies...from rumours of a 4U2C reunion to the exploits of Khairy Jamaluddin.  Btw, checkout this site on Joe's one-stop outlet for diy/indie culture here

meet up with joneng and we had some middle-eastern flavoured dinner at Sahara Tent Arabic Restaurant, Bukit Bintang (but unfortunately...minus the belly dancer) .  Out of the blue Jos wanted to pay for the dinner...as a threat  for his upcoming birthday...Happy 20th Birthday geng!

The look on Jos' face - damn...i am getting older
