Chinese New Year

The year of ~~xoxo, gossip girl~~ Ox.

Eating yee sang

Scoop it up, then put it back down. While simultaneously saying something good like "prosperity, good health, good business, blah blah blah.."

Although it tasted a bit weird (it was raw), still, everyone finish it.

Celebrate with course mate

Oh, got myself a black leather shoe, and it kinda looks like the LV leather shoe minus the holes. Of course, this one is cheaper by a mile.

Happy Niu Year everyone !

Youth 09 - Indie label fashion show

After the battle of the band, there was fashion show showcasing a few local and some Indonesian designers.

Then there was a break and these 2 kids come up the stage and perform. They were playing music by using those nintendo (the old skool one, not the touch screen), it sounds like techno+super mario theme song kinda tunes. You know what I mean.

The kid in red was so hilarious, he was head-banging, like so damn high, then his spectacle flies. Then the crowds like roaring (I think sarcastically), and he was like can't see anything. Then he tried to cover his kemaluan (embarrassment), he head-bang even harder.

Anyway, the fashion show then continued.

That's all for Youth 09 !

Youth 09 - Battle of the band

In the Youth 09, there was battle of the band where majority of the bands participating played hard rock/metal. One thing about this battle of the band was, I think the place was too big. It kinda lost it's original essence. In my opinion, BOTB or any gigs, it's usually hot, crowded, small, but that's gig. My friends participated and they were playing on friday, but I didn't go because I dozed off in my room. What kind of friend am I ? Anyway, as I was saying, in this BOTB, (according to my friends) there was no judges or whatsoever. Lucky I didn't go for Sunday session.

The stage, see how big the "garage" ? The audience was so far away.. No feel lah like this..

Out of many bands participating, this one was particularly good.. See, they have a keyboardist, unlike other where all you can hear is distorted guitar sound..

Vocalist's voice was good as well..

Light and shadow

Then there was this big canvas and marker pens that anyone can write down lyrics, doodles, feelings, or secret. Accidentally, I found this one :

After the BOTB, it was fashion show from indie labels.. As expected, quite a lot of leggings like those on Lookbook.

Youth 09

Last week I attended youth 09 @ PWTC which was an event for all the young people out there who has nothing to do on weekend. Okay, maybe not. Maybe the organizers have more noble cause for our lovely country, Malaysia (yeah right..).

Some "celebrities" came and made some lame jokes..

Shake it baby.. shake it..

I joined a photography competition where the contestants will be given a theme then in 30 mins, they have to come back and upload only 5 photos to be judged (which means NO photoshop). The format of the competition was like in FIFA world cup, you know, 1 vs 1, then the winner proceed to the next round. And the thing is, most of the contestants were carrying their Deessluurr with flash and accessories like Arnold Schwarzdontknowhowtospell carrying his machine guns in Terminator 3.

Something like this..

The theme on the 1st round was RED.

I passed the 1st round, then the theme for round 2 was ACTION.

Passed 2nd round again. Then at the booth where we checked the result, I overheard somebody with HUGE deessluurr like I've described above checking his result, then turns out he didn't get pass 2nd round. I overheard him saying something like "hmm.. my opponent must be as good as me.." hmm.. I dont know, maybe bigger camera with accessories hanging around does NOT equal to great photos.

For 3rd round, the theme is TASTE. I was like so confident and rushing to this stall that I know sell some cupcakes where I bought a cupcake then shoot it. But then I didn't get through to the next round. (hmm.. I think my opponent is as good as me lah.. haha..)

Cosplayers with graffiti wall..

Cosplayers cam-whoring..

Dude, where should I pee ?

It never fails to amaze me when I use a public toilet and find guys who still do not know the proper urinal etiquette. This unspoken code of bathroom ethics has been passed from generation to generation, yet some men are still ignorant of it and break this code from time to time. But fret not, here at The L-oh-rama, I will teach you these etiquette for the sake of scruffy.

Where

This may come as a surprise to some people, but which urinal a man chooses when he goes into a toilet makes a world difference. Let's imagine with me for a while, if in a toilet there is only a man using it in the stall A and there are 4 stalls. Then, came a man who directly proceed to do his business in stall B. Well, it's a well-known fact that using a urinal next to another man when you don't absolutely need to means you want to have "intimate relationship" with him. If this isn't your intention, sit tight and keep reading.

For example, if a toilet has 4 stalls and you're the only person inside the toilet, you must choose the stall furthest from the entrance, next to a wall if possible, let's called this stall A. The next man who comes in must then choose the next available stall, keeping one stall in separation, which would be stall C. If a third man comes into the toilet while the other two is still using it, he must wait until stall A or stall C is available, unless it's a dire emergency.

In a worst-case scenario, one which you are forced to use a urinal next to one that is already occupied, you should always choose stall D to minimize the number of consecutive wangs.

Although the four-stall configuration is the one you'll most likely to encounter, a more general approach is necessary when using toilets with different configurations. A more convenient way to sort out this problem is to use a simple formula derived from the following sequence:

stall position = n+(n-1)
= 2n-1

e.g, You're in a toilet in a stadium where there are 10 urinal stalls, there are already 4 people using the stalls according to the rules as stated earlier. Which stall should you use ?

s=10, n=5

stall position = 2n-1
= 2(5) - 1
= 9

Therefore, you should use the 9th stall. Simple maths.

It's Beautiful up there

At 30,000 feet, without annoying ringtones, crying babies. Bliss.

Fluffy clouds

Going through bad weathers, which means turbulence which I kinda enjoy

Went out of the bad weathers and clear sky once again

I think this is near Port Dickson

The river totally made this photo rocks

As the old saying, "Takeoff is optional, landing is necessary."

I have like tons of photos from youth 09, I'll blog about it soon with all the photos. In the meantime, here's one for you..

NYE at home

I spent my New Year's Eve at home, pathetic ? Not really, it wasn't that bad after all. One thing about New Year's Eve, as KinkyBlueFairy puts it "It’s always crowded, jammed, and basically the night - people who don’t usually party ALL go out to party." Thank God the view from my hostel overlook KLCC and the surrounding (and some electric cables). So, when the clock ticked at 12 am, I just grab my deesluurr (my pronunciation for DSLR) and shoot some fireworks.

Then during the next day just before dusk, I saw this scene which looks like something that you see in those movie about doomsday and such.
