Sunburst KL 2009

Well, as mentioned in my previous post, Sunburst KL 2009 was just pure awesomeness. All the bad thoughts and cussing before the festival itself has gone out the window. Only until the very next day. The organisers got themselves into a lot of trouble when N.E.R.D. canceled their Jakarta gig (Sunday) on that very morning, citing that they did not want to experience the same treatment they had when they were in Msia. Apparently their passports were held on to by Msian authorities as the organisers did not have the proper permits for them to perform. Ah, who cares about that eh! As long as they put on a f'kin good show, and I had a f'kin good time! Hell yeah!

Quickie
Sunburst was all in all....LEGEND.....wait for it DARY! All thanks to N.E.R.D and the rock gods; KORN. Was worth every single cent that I paid for the ticket, eventhough phone calls offering me free tix came in the moment i agreed to buy the tix! :( Security was really really tight, and they were body searching the guys (yes, touch beckside as well) so I asked Ms. JJ Tan if she could help me smuggle my camera in. Which she did! Albeit getting into trouble with the security and subsequently her colleagues. So yes, I owe her BIG TIME. Managed to snap 1000++ pics, so give me some time before I upload them ya.
Pharrel and N.E.R.D put on such an engaging performance, that I believe everyone there was jumping to every single beat man. KORN was just PURE AWESOMENESS! Jonathan Davies apologised, as they took 15 years to come to Malaysian shores to perform. Well ofcourse, with all the restrictions that they have, I am pleasantly surprised how they let them in this time? I think the organisers were rolling in their graves as N.E.R.D and KORN broke every other rule there was in the rule book.
Constant use of profanities on stage - CHECK
Removing clothing item on stage - CHECK
Letting fans from the crowd to come on stage - CHECK
IT WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME!
To end the quickie, I thought that I'd share this really funny thing that happened on Twitter. Ms. Salad Bowl hair uploaded a twitpic to show me what a batterless tempura looks like, and this was the image she uploaded.

She uploaded a pic of poor ol' Plus One. And here I was thinking of giving up battered tempura! :(

Vote Earth!
Taken from the Earth Hour Website:
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming.
For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.
This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.
Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.
In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.
We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.
VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.
Saturday, March 28, 8:30-9:30pm.
Let's all play our part. I'll be making sure that my family not only switches off for that one hour. But also to be more mindful in their everyday routine to switch off whatever they are not using as well. Join me in this great cause!! And click the banner above to sign up!

Ops Big K
Key highlight is that I'm gonna climb Big K - Mount Kinabalu in June. YES!! I've been wanting to climb, and was looking around for kakis, when my buddy from Sg mentioned that he was keen. Sad to say though, we were abit too late to book a climb this year. But lo and behold, opportunity came knocking on my door, when one of Ken's friends backed out from their group of 10. So yippee kai yeh, I'm now training to climb Big K. So I've temporarily hijacked this blog's sidebar, and used it as my progress status. Will be updating it everyday to make sure that I won't die halfway up the mountain in June.
Other than the good news, I fed about a thousand mesquitos at the now abandoned Pekeliling Flats when I was there to snap pics with lokgotz, chiewata and KK. It was an "Analog Day" for me. Brought my full arsenal of analog gear and started snapping. Only able to collect the films tomorrow, so will upload the pics then.


Have a good week ahead! Happy Monday!

Conquering the mountain (hill to be politically correct)

The majestic view of the Klang Dam from the first peak
All in all it was a really nice climb. Reached the foot of the hill at about 8. Slightly later than planned, but we managed to conquer Bukit Tabur in 4 hours.




It was quite cool how the other climbers (there were many many many climbers that morning) were all really friendly and curteous. Unlike your average typical Malaysian. They greet you. They ask if this is your first time. And they give you advice if you are noobs like us!

Do not let the fatigued look deceive you. The thumbs up takes priority.
We bumped into a group of young climbers and sort of tagged along. Its "funner" with more ppl on the climb together. Eventhough it would slow the whole group down a lil more.


Lunch at Ampang. Yong Tau Foo at its best!
*all pictures in this post was taken with my Holga120GCFN. More pictures of the climb can be found here.
