Urbanscapes 2011 @ Padang Astaka

Waking up on Urbanscapes Day is like waking up on Christmas Day.
Excited, HAPPY, hungry, and ready to walk and talk all day long!

Thanks to all the readers who tried winning Urbanscapes tix from my blog!
There were over 45 entries and your anticipation for Urbanscapes was contagious!
Was so hard to pick 5x winners…   :xbummed:
Wish i had more to give out!! (Next year okay Adrian? TAKE NOTE OKAY  :xlaughing: )

One of the winners was Amir, who came all the way down from Ipoh!
Word of the day = Dedication.

Thanks for saying such nice things about me :xshy:   :xshy:   :xshy:
And sorry for being late  :xwhatevah:   :xwhatevah:   :xwhatevah:

Lots of tents were set up all over Padang Astaka for performances throughout the day

aurban_31

First place Aps and i headed to was the bar.
We got our priorities right :p
We were both slightly hungover from the night before,
and what better to combat it than what started it in the first place.
Kilkenney beer was a reasonable RM12 per cup.
Only bad thing is we weren’t allowed to walk around the festival with our cups of beer,
had to drink it in designated areas. Boo @ stringent Msian law.

aurban_33

Kevin & Clouds
They were getting their priorities striaght too.

aurban_32

I wanted to take a pic of Clouds’ unicorn earring she bought there.
She said she was trying to ‘make her ear smile’.
Only Clouds…

aurban_41

At the Style Snaps booth
In a cartoon world
Where i was always meant to be.

Saw a store called Beautiful Disaster with lots of colourful stuff and veered towards it
Ended up buying happy colourful items!
Scarf, pink pants, striped top, beige clutch.
Seeing this was the first store i walked into,
i got a bit scared wondering whether i was going to shop like this all day.  :xsurprised:

aurban_29

Celine of Beautiful Disaster
Thanks for selling such awesome stuff!

It’s such a nice colourful picture!
I’m wearing a dress from Leftblock.

aurban_1

Also got this unique coral + blue polka dot dress from the Tongue in Chic Store.
Was deciding on it for awhile cos it cost RM90,
slightly higher than what i’d usually pay for a dress from a flea market.
But decided i couldn’t let go of the colour and BLUE DOTS.
Had to have it.

aurban_2

Rushed Aps to the Junk Stage for Liyana Fizi’s performace

aurban_28

Noone wanted to step in the mud but i braved the move forward for a better picture.
Was prepared by wearing plimsolls i’d previously soaked in mud from last year’s festivals in UK.

aurban_39

Liyana is a care bear in my head

aurban_42

Then i bumped into Az!
Az Samad okay!
If you don’t own his album,
you’re MISSING OUT ON LIFE.

Around 5:30 pm, Aps and i headed to the X-Fusion zone,
because it was the only air-conditioned place in the festival
where everyone’s allowed to smoke and drink!

aurban_43

aurban_37

Terence C!

aurban_38

Aps, and Johan from my school

aurban_44

Kevin Yeohhhhhhhhhhh

aurban_45

Some performers who were pretty funky
but i’m such a bad blogger i don’t know their names sorry :p

aurban_46

aurban_27

With Melly Ling! She was writing for Tongue in Chic when i was working there.
I love how the wind is blowing her balloons and my dress heehee *vain*

aurban_26

Spotted Sarah chilling in a food area.
I was quite tipsy by then and got a stern, “Don’t GET DRUNK BEFORE OUR SET!”
cos she and i were spinning as SalahWrong from 9-11pm

aurban_25

Pic i didn’t even see while shooting cos sun was in my eye.
But look at Claudia hahahaha

aurban_24

I thought the SNACKS at Urbanscapes were awfully good -
keropok lekor, Karipop curry puffs filled with mash potato and chicken,
The Last Polka guinness ice cream, Chef Tony’s popcorn…

But the savoury food cannot make it la.
Everything else i bought was s0-so and kinda oily,
maybe cos it had to be out in the heat all day…
Felt i didn’t eat enough yesterday!

aurban_23

aurban_22

Bumped into Chelsia, Josh, and their massive umbrella.
I was like, “God Chelsia, such a princess that Josh has to shade you!”
But then i thought, owh, that’s so sweet really….
and asked Clem today whether he’d do that for me.
He said, “But i wasn’t with you then,”
Me: Yeah but if you were with me?
Him: In the rain?
Me: No, in the sun. *knows it’s a no-go cos Clem, like all kwailo ppl, LOVES WALKING IN THE HOT SUN*
Him: Are you kidding me or what?

See, no-go.
It’s okay la, i’m just mengada-ing,
i actually like walking in the sun and getting a tan   :xsilly:

aurban_20

Went back to TiC Turf, but didn’t end up buying anything else.
Maybe it was the heat, maybe cos i just ate so much,
maybe it was the alcohol AND the heat,
but i felt like i was slowly melting.

aurban_21

Rudy spinning as Deer Society

Aps and i bumped into Eddy, Alet and gang,
and followed them to their car to drink more   :xshy:
At first i could hear SARAH’S VOICE in my head not to drink anymore.
Then my louder naughty voice came in and said, “Well, Sarah’s not here to seeeee heee heeeeeeee”

We just chilled around the car drinking like samsengs.

aurban_16

Alet.
Forget that trend about stealing clothes from your bf’s wardrobe,
it’s time for the guys to steal from the girls now   :xwinky:

aurban_19

Eddy, Master of Alcohol, is also lead singer for the Rollin’ Sixers.
*scream*

aurban_18

Sharing is caring and loving and drinking and everything

aurban_17

Aps had a bit too much sharing

aurban_14

Kang

aurban_15

Manly accessories

Ran back into the festival after that,
cos Clem had arrived and i didn’t even meet him at the entrance cos i was wayyy on the other side… drinking.
:p
But it was okay cos he was excitedly watching Reza Salleh.
Even messaged me that he’s watching Reza and to faster join him.
Later on that day, he complained he tried to buy Reza’s CD,
but noone could tell him where to go.
So he’s damn disappointed.
Reza, if you’re reading this, i hereby am placing an order for your CD okay,
Clem’s gonna nag me.

aurban_13

Xu + Lim
Aiyo Lim… we gotta work on your poses man.

aurban_12

Sarah Chan and me!!!

aurban_11

Sarah and Mira
Sarah was probably shouting at me, as usual.

After that i didn’t take pictures for awhile cos i got REALLY SLEEPY AND TIRED!
I think it’s cos i followed Sarah’s advice and tried to slow down on the drinking.
As i recall, at previous Urbanscapes i managed to be on the go go go all day by drinking continously. Should have followed my instincts.

aurban_9

I wasn’t the only one who got tired… hi Steph.

aurban_10

Myra and i

aurban_8

Clem

I made myself WAKE UP before our SalahWrong set by eating ice cream,
and restarting to drink beer again.

Had an enjoyable set, we forgot to take ANY pictures of ourselves, really salah man,
but did have a plethora of media and ppl taking pictures of us in the first 20 minutes.
Sarah whispered to me, “Umf, i feel so weird…”
Think she’s not used to so many ppl taking pictures..!
I was just dancing and grinning and embracing it haha.

After our set, all of us went to layan Arabyrd in the X-Fusion section:

aurban_7

Li Mei, Kevin, April

aurban_6

Half of two makes one drink anyway. All is good.

aurban_5

Ming noticed me taking a picture the EXACT MOMENT my brain was telling my finger to push down on the button.
He managed to strike a pose in 0.02 seconds.

aurban_35

Blur picture of Arabyrd cos she be dancing too fast for my non-flash mode

aurban_4

Clem and i ready to go home

aurban_40

Yummiest popcorn i’ve ever had in my life!
I left it till the last picture cos I WANT TO KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY MORE?!
Anyone?
Clem and i are fighting over this one tub i bought…

Anyway, thanks and kudos to the Freeform team for putting together Urbanscapes again!
It felt so nice that i didn’t have to work this time tee hee.
I didn’t take pictures of soooo many things going on yesterday,
like Ion’s cool interactive sound & water thingy,
and the Moonshine set up (argh),
just wanted to enjoy myself instead of report it heh.

France National Day gala // BlackBerry PlayBook launch in KL

Clem took me along to this gala at the French Embassy
‘Twas France National Day on July 14th
(a date which i’ll probably have to remember just because it’s important to him too!)

afranbb_16

I wore a dress given to me by Gallo by Thian.
First time i’ve worn it and i think it suits Asian bodies to a T.
Silver mesh bag from Jakarta.

afranbb_13

Clem plied me with the promise of a French buffet spread and free flow champagne.
I’d never been to the French Embassy before, tho i had experienced a party at the German Embassy in KL,
and i do recall how lavish the spread was plus how much i enjoyed stuffing my face and stomach…
So i was looking forward to the food   :xsilly:

It turned out to be a really crowded do!
There were queues for the food so we waited it out a bit..
and didn’t get to try half the food there   :xwhatevah:
Also… it was outdoors
(so hot! only kwailo people will try to have a dinner party outdoors in KL. Right or not!)
Clem was sweating in his coat.
I was sweating in my cocktail dress.
Everyone was sweating la.

afranbb_14

What food i DID get to try WAS damn good.
Including the salty caramel macarons there, mmmm

afranbb_15

Nadjet, Olivier + Matt

Nadjet is Clem and Matt’s former boss.
I like lady bosses   :xlaughing:
We hit it off and thank god for her else i woulda died.
I offered to keep her cat while she’s on hols,
and we msged each other the next day.
Clem grumbled, “You all best friends now or what?!”

He should be happy, hmph.

Ben from BlackBerry SG, had a great time with you!
Almost the last to leave..!

afranbb_5

My new BlackBerry PlayBook charging at home today weeee!
I can’t wait to be able to watch movies on AirAsia flights now ho ho
especially since we bought cheap RM800 per way tix to Paris for next year.
Was wondering how i’d survive a long haul flight with no entertainment.

afranbb_4

I wore a Tri-Os jumpsuit courtesy of Fashion Valet for my birthday this year.
Thanks Vivy!!!

afranbb_3

Crazy clogs from Benson Chen are surprisingly very comfy to wear!
A bit hazardous for heavy drinking nights,
so that’s a good way to control me (?)
Check his stuff out at The Twelve @ Farenheit 99

afranbb_2

Hmong tribe bangle from Laos,
delicate rings from thirtyfour,
smoky quartz + silver ring from Sri Lanka

afranbb_1

My fingers are really tiny, so it’s hard for me to get rings,
i’m a size 7 (size S in high street stores are size 9 and above -_-)
I have pricey fingers hee hee.
Galle in Sri Lanka sell wonderful semi-precious and precious stone jewelry.
I picked my stone, they measure my finger ring size,
and they cast it within 2 hours.
Love.

Topshop Dress Up

A few pix from the Topshop event last Wednesday
where they launched their new collection of party dresses called Dress Up.

Topshop Dress Up

The 5 fashion bloggers Topshop picked to represent at their party were:
Cynthia
, Cindy, me, Ming, and Andrea

Topshop Dress Up

I’m wearing >
pink dress; topshop dress up
heart cut out heels; glamrockchic

We’re all wearing dresses from the new collection.
I was hoping to pick out a sequinned number,
but seeing they’re not in stores yet,
i pretty much went with the brightest one i could find.

But i tell you, i think i underestimated my size when i picked a size 6.
I could barely breathe in it
plus scoffing McD’s right before zipping myself into it was a notable mistake.

Topshop Dress Up

Melissa Indot provided dancey tunes for the night!

I don’t usually get to converse at leisure with my readers at other events,
so this one was quite intimate and ’twas nice to talk to some of you   :xhappy:

Also, don’t think i’ve spent 3 hours in Topshop before,
and of course, ended up picking out a couple of items…
I have weak will if you place me in the store for too long.
Being around all these clothes luring me to buy them is just too much.

To view more pix from the event, you can click on the Topshop FB album *here*.
