Set The Twilight Reeling.

Hello folks, form 5's of SMKTS in particular, prom tickets are now on sale! The theme for this year's prom is "Set The Twilight Reeling", based on your votes. 

Details are as follows; 

Time : Doors open at 1900 hours; 7 p.m.
Date : 12th December 2008
Venue : Millennium Ballroom, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur

Tickets are priced RM150. Early Bird Tickets are priced at RM130; only 33 Early Bird Tickets are up for grabs so, better hurry.

Yes I know you guys'd start whining, griping and complain about the price but before that please please take note the rice and petrol price hikes earlier this year and just recently respectively have directly and significantly altered the price of the tickets. Do understand, people.

But i can definitely assure you that it's going to be great and whomsoever partaking in attendance will have a blast and walk away feeling pleased and maybe a little reminisce. That's a promise. And oh here's a little sneak preview.


Spiffily posh innit?

So, be there or be square!

Laters.

Whattheff.

Check out Re-Pulse's new site; revamped, reconstructed, redid, well basically we deleted the old account and started afresh. Remember to please check out our demo's. Many thanks!

Oh heck. I hate this. Schools' starting tomorrow. And with it comes renewed drive and initiative to focus more and be that extra bit more diligent. Hopefully. Actually I could use some of that. Heck, I absolutely NEED that!!!

Just got back from Singapore not long ago. And by going down south I missed Click 5 in concert and The Star's Green Fest. Not that I'm a huge fan of Click 5 but the missus was going so yea.

Down south was very enjoyable. 3D2N trip. Last ditch trip before school reopens after a two-week hiatus. But Singapore was a welcome and refreshing change to KL. I visit that country every year save for the last but only on this trip did it hit how very different it is from Negaraku. And how quite far behind we are from our brother down south. I mean Singapore. We're at least 6 years behind?

And it's a welcome change to see, for example instead of the 'culturally challenged/confused' you get to see at Sungei Wang on weekends, you are treated to instead women and men alike impeccably and trendily dressed, textbook stuff, off the magazine pages- skinny jeans, that 'in' bag, suedes, the works. And men carrying totes are not at all a rarity. In fact, you find them in abundance. Espesh men carrying Gucci's. And oh, I stumbled upon this dude slinging this incredibly cool one around. 


All I could nail down is this picture, I tried googling the 'brand' but to no avail. But yea, it's cool innit?

Singaporeans can reeeaaaally shop. But it's unsurprising. They have a higher spending power and income per quota and dollar-to-dollar compared to Malaysians. So I was told that's it's a common sight to see long queues at LV, Prada, Gucci, Aigner, Miu Miu, Chanel, Kenzo and the like. And young professionals and older folks alike lugging around bags and bags containing all their designer barang's.

Another reason to "readily" embrace this country is for the streets and public places are unbelievably safe . Well it's much safer than ours over here. No fear of your tote bag being snatched while tucking in at Taka's food court, definitely. 

And the cabs over there are uber efficient. Two thumbs up. And oh, no such thing as motorcycle gangs and such. Sweet.

Their quirkiness is also noteworthy enough. Like, ever come across a restaurant with a Chinese name translating into "Mafia's Lair"? But in English it comes across much simpler, aptly named "Bosses".

If you can read Chinese, what does it mean?

Table came with a spectacular view, though.

Anyways, there's also this funky little shop called New Urban Male down at Vivo City. Their stuff, (mainly their tees) are wicked. They have this particular line called David and Goliath. And it's supposedly a spoof of Mr. Men and Little Miss. Some go:

Hehe.

Eh?

Yeap yeap. Oh yea, Tony Roma's over there serve pork ribs in place of beef!! Damn good. Must try.

And oh before I forget, KLPac's having this play, and me as a friend of a few of the casts would like very much for as many people as possible support it. Go go!

Laters.

Bright Rovi.. BRATs la!


I wouldn't at all be surprised if i were the last person from the Penang Workshop to blog about BRATs. But let me say this, joining BRATs has got to be one of the better decisions I've made thus far this year. No shit. By the way BRATs stands for Bright Roving Annoying TeenS

In case you're wondering, BRATs is a young journalist/writers program held on a yearly basis by The Star, a leading daily in the country. it’s been around since 1993, which makes this the 15th year since its launch. every year, applications are open to youths all over Malaysia from the ages of 16-19, to participate in camps in a variety of places.

I'll be talking about this whole workshop experience from a personal point of view or rather, my point of view.

To be honest, I headed north to Penang (where the workshop was held) without much expectations and even less enthusiasm. But there was still a slight measure of zeal and excitement la, of course. What more when it's going to be held in Penang, my all-time favourite among the states in Malaysia thus far.

Well to put it simply, the BRATs workshop was plain awesome. I loved and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

There's just so many things to say about the workshop. The people, activities, games, tasks, assignments and what not. And I'm damn lazy to talk about them all. Among the people I know who've "properly" blogged about the workshop are Sandra, Michelle, Sandheep, Joye and Qisthina.
 
So yea, go ahead and check them out.
