hello world!

After a looong break, here i am, back at this blog's doorstep :) (Let's just hope that this spirit will last, ey)

I have a LOT of updates; pertaining to my work life, my love life after being married (it's awesome yaww!), my vacation trips, my family, oh god there's just so many. 

Anyways, i am gonna start with strings of mild warm up exercises to my brain (and yours) with an update on Urbanscapes 2011. It was held at Padang Astaka, PJ. It was sunny and both me and Mr Lefty were sweating like p*gs. I think it was held at quite a strategic location. Ample parking (we parked at Amcorp Mall), easy access (just off the Federal Highway), and if at anytime if we feel like using the loo, boleh la jalan je pegi balik to amcorp mall. Of course they have these portable toilets, tapi saya tak lalu lah. Hehe.

It was my first Urbanscapes and when we first arrived, it reminded me a lot of Sunburst. I still remember when me and mr.lefty went to the first Sunburst, we were just boyfriend and girlfriend back then. Ah,how time flies kan. 

The creative art festival goers were all trendy, I tell you! There were lotsa tudung-wearing girls in super awesome outfits. The styles were so trendy. Combination of tops and bottoms were so sooo edgy and creative and the scarves-styling was ahhhh... Fabulousity! Memang macam nak pegi Coachella lah. Oh I am SO inspired by the scene. Tak sempat la pulak nak snap2 pictures of what the people were wearing ala The Sartorialist. 

There were stalls set up selling clothes, fashion accessories, really awesome handmade stuff, macam2 lah. Quite a number of familiar online shopping blogs participated. I like! I managed to grab some stuff for myself. There was also a lomo wall where lomo pics were put on display. Super awesome cool stuff lah. Inspired, again :) Dont worry as there were also food stalls, if you're hungry. Ada stall jual cucuk2 (mahai kemain, RM2 per lidi), air warna warni, cupcakessss, muffins, mee goreng yang goreng depan mata macam kat pasar malam, nasik2 bungkus annnd the list goes on. 

And best of all, there were live bands! So by just paying RM30 for entry to this festival (you'll be given a wrist-tag for multi-entry purposes), you get to shop (for seriously very cool stuff), take amazing photos of trendy festival goers (and be inspired just like me!), maybe bump into famous celebs, enjoy live performances by talented bands and solo singers and you get to do all these by not having to worry of starving as there were delicious food available. The line-ups were amazing okay. There were well-known names like Bunkface, Najwa, Azlan & The Typewriter (tak sempat tengok), also not-so-mainstream ones but equally awesome like Reza Salleh (teringat kenangan jumpa dia during Rock The World), Lab The Rat and many many more. 

Let's enjoy some pictures, shall we. All taken using iphone lomo. Dont you just looove technology :)

the love affair with Urbanscapes

So all in all, we had a great time at Urbanscapes. Even managed to bump into long lost friend, Faiz who's now busy working with Yuna and the likes. We got back home, all worn out (is it the age factor?Hmmm..), bought amazing goodies but happy happy joy joy to the max.

Till we meet again next year, Urbanscapes!
