All for the Charity @ Zouk KL by Streething x Femmething

I haven’t been blogging or going out much cos i’ve been quite sick since i got back from Spain.
Caught a bad cough i bet someone on the tour passed to my dad and i.

Rested at home on Saturday night and took my cough med (yay!) before going to sleep,
so i would be all semangat on Sunday to take part in All for the Charity,
a charity flea market organised by Streething and Femmething.

all for charity by streething @ zouk

Thanks to Streething for putting me in the Main Room,
which was (dauntingly) filled with all the cool streetwear stuff  0_-

I didn’t take many pictures that day,
was too busy having fun drinking and talking   :xlaughing:

all for charity by streething @ zouk

I don’t think i’ve seen bids go so well at a flea market before..!
All items donated by brands such as Nike and Nooka were going for hundreds of ringgit,
with every cent donated to the charities (noted below at end of post).

Unseen TV shooting some of my items

all for charity by streething @ zouk

I was a bit naughty and abandoned my own stall for a while (tee hee) to join Aps, Jess and RowdyRudy for a drink outside at Terrace Bar.
Rudy has asked Jess and i to be on his team for some hat-making contest for Zouk (where if we win, the prize $ of RM5k goes to a charity of our choice),
and the three of us (mainly Rudy and i) started arguing whose idea was better,
with me declaring i’ll just start my OWN hat-making team cos he didn’t wanna listen to mine,
and both us ended up talking over each other simultaneously like OOC (Out Of Control) 10-year-olds,
till Aps was trying to shush us cos ppl were staring  >.<

I adore that love-hate sibling rivalry we have.

At the end of the event, some of the stalls were lowering the prices for certain things as low as RM50 a pair of sneakers.
Crazy.
Everyone just grabbed at stuff!
I myself bought a Lapsap shirt for RM20   :xlaughing:
So did Jess   :xlaughing:
I convinced RowdyRudy he needed this shirt from Singapore for RM90 and a watch for RM100   :xlaughing:

Streething x Femmething x all the vendors/sponsors managed to raise RM30k RM35k in a day!
Absolutely fantastic.
All $ raised is to be donated to Kiwanis Malaysia, the Haiti Relief Fund through UNICEF, Furry Friends Farm and Kechara Soup Kitchen.

 :xheart2:

After i puppy-dog-eyed Jess and RowdyRudy into helping me pack up and load my car,
i counted my money.

*cough*

All the money that i made went to:
1. donation/rental fee
2. my alcohol expenditure for the day

HAHA

It’s like i buka kedai for fun (donate $ & feed myself alco -_-)
Well, i did want to get some of those items off me… i have no more space to store them,
and i just want them to go to someone who would use and love them.

I remember one girl trying to decide whether to buy this mirrored bib necklace i sourced,
and i evilly whispered to her: “If you don’t get it after looking at it this much, you’ll just go home and think about it and totally REGRET not buying it. You might as well get it. I got it in Bangkok last month and haven’t seen any shops here selling it yet.”

She ran off to get money and bought it right away.   :xlaughing:

Anyway, after the whole event and congratulating Chooee on a successful event,
us three (the 2 Js and the double R) went off to have dinner at Bermuda & Onion at Changkat BB.
Food was great (or maybe cos we were that drunk) and i had a brill Sunday in all!

Blackberry Bold 9700 + Storm2 9520 Launch @ Neo, KL

Last Thursday was a milestone in the learning curve for me
when i emceed the official Blackberry Bold 9700 and Storm2 9520 launch in KL.

When Simon + Eddy from Tempus first asked me to emcee it,
they said they didn’t want a personality who has emceed typically before.
I remembered what SmallSerena told me before about undercutting,
and therefore quoted them market price before proceeding.

A month after that, they said they could get a male emcee as well,
and were thinking of Rudy.
I replied that i couldn’t think of anyone else i’d rather emcee with!

Blackberry Bold 9700 + Storm2 9520 launch KL

They first told me the initial date for the event was Jan 12th,
and i wanted to strangle myself,
but maintained with a squeak instead.

Because.
Jan 12th was the night of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in Singapore.

But i didn’t have to think twice that work like this was more important,
so i dismissed it.

Then in early Jan, the Blackberry date was confirmed for Jan 14th,
and i was like, “MANNNNNNNNNNNN!”
and tried ignoring ALL tweets saying how AMAZING the Yeahx3 was,
cos i couldn’t get tix anymore.

It’s okay.
Couldn’t be helped and i’ll just throw a Yeahx3 party for myself.
In my room.   :xlaughing:

Anyway i was totally okay the week before the event,
it was the DAY before that i started freaking out.

 :xwhatevah:

I’m trying to count how many times i’ve emceed before (sorta).
Okay i did some Junk one years ago with KinkyPugKevin,
i emceed FoxyLisa’s wedding (but i don’t think that counts!),
something at Attic…
did the opening for Styliste,
and… that’s it, i think!

 :xsilly:

I wrote a bit of the below last week:

+ + + + + + + + + + + +

4:10pm

Stress.
Stress balls till they drop off.
If i had balls.
See what this is doing to my head!

5:29pm

Am reading through the prompt sheet and imagining what would happen if i said the wrong word/name.
Imagination progressed into a scene of me blushing and stuttering on stage.
Oh god.
What was i thinking?
WHY did i take up this job?

Ok breathe.
The whole point was to try something new,
and i can’t be a scaredy cat and not try it.

Every other host you spoke to told you they were super nervous as well.
Till now.

That’s right, so it’s okay to feel nervous.
Just shut up and breathe.

5:42pm

Now i know why emcees are paid so much
It’s kinda like money for - “Don’t you dare fuck up!”

+ + + + + + + + + + + +

Then i didn’t write anymore cos i went to meet RowdyRudy for dinner,
and go over our parts to say.

“Are you nervous?”
“Yes. *flops on table*”
“Just pretend it’s like Cat Got Your Tongue! Come one… you’ve done this loads of times before!”
“Yeah, like Cat Got Your Tongue! *sits up brightly* … but it’s NOT. It’s for…
*whispers*… Blackberry *flops again.”

He couldn’t say anything to that.

On the day of the event, we all met up in Neo at 12:30pm for a dry run (which didn’t happen)
and for the media launch which was at 3pm.

I was really bored with all that waiting around,
so took pictures (being the blogger-posing-as-emcee i am).

Blackberry Bold 9700 + Storm2 9520 launch KL

The media launch went well (minus one minor f-up from me  >.<)
and i felt much better and ready for the evening event.

Went back to the hotel room they provided us to rest at.
I had 2 and a half hours to get make up done,
and RowdyRudy flat out refused to let me off the premises,
cos i initially planned to have it done by Milcah at her salon @ Plaza Damas.

The night before, i suddenly thought of MaintainMing
and asked him whether he’d help me do my make up.
He replied: “Of course. I want all my bitches to look good.”
and i almost cried with joy.

Yeah, i was so stressed okay. Got me superemo.

Blackberry Bold 9700 + Storm2 9520 launch KL

All the clothes i brought, cos couldn’t decide in morning what to wear for night event.

Blackberry Bold 9700 + Storm2 9520 launch KL

My amazing X-Mini speakers (from Machines @ Gardens)
SpankyCammy introduced it to me last year,
and it’s super loud!
Not to mention you charge it via USB cable so no batteries wasted/needed!

At the night event,
RowdyRudy and i were going over the prompt sheet just before starting,
and i’m sorry to everyone who came to say hi…
i really couldn’t talk to you then cos i was a ball of nerves all over again and wanted to remember what i was supposed to say on stage!

MINDstyle LIFEstyle presents Michael Lau Exhibition Launch @ Zinc, KL

Spent hours editing pictures,
and the internet has decided to go REALLY SLOW on me all of a sudden,
so you’ll just have these pix to look at till i add the rest tomorrow!

Cannot tahan, it’s 3:30am and i’ve been trying to sleep earlier in Bangkok
since the sun rises and sets earlier!

+ + +

Wow finally managed to get all the pix up after 2 days -_-
Called hotel guest services yesterday and said i cannot take it anymore.
Well, i didn’t say those words exactly but you get my drift!

This is the first of a few posts on why i went back to KL for 48 hours last week.

mindstyle zinc michael lau

One of the events i attended was, I daresay, one of the most exciting events in the KL art scene,
where Michael Lau himself attended the event.

Famed for his designer toys,
HK-based Michael has significant influence on toy manufacturers,
as well as different forms of street culture throughout the world.

Wow. I think this is the FIRST time EVA i have a somewhat normal picture of Adrian Yap.
 :xpleased:
In all my other pictures, he usually covers his face with his hand / turns his back on me / looks like rabbit caught in headlights (i was gonna say ‘deer’, but rabbit sounds better) / is intoxicated / has half his face covered with object

I think it’s brilliant that KL has a scene like this now.
We could never call ourselves completely urban before this,
and with the launch of Zinc, plus this exhibition,
i can’t wait to see what else is in store!

Which was your favourite art piece?
