aspiring inspirations~

weeee~ one mission accomplished under my long to-do-list~

huh, it's really a great great day, swimming in the pool of arts and get myself deeply inspired. thanks ms, enmond and qing sooo much for keeping me company~ it's always much enjoyable with friends around, though im being complained by the godly weirdo for being the slowest one.. -.=''' *sorry lo *

only 3 hours of sleep make me feel pretty dizzy in the morning. ahhh... really glad that i din overslept.. =P wake the piggy ms up by 930 on the way towards bus stop. Qing and edmond joined me by around 10, take T623 to kelana jaya and lrt towards Dang Wangi.
ISHHH, i was like... 0.O when qing and edmond tell me that the 1 buck rapid ticket can be
REUSED throughout the day. T__T it's never too late to know that now, qing said. WEIHHH, it has been such a waste man!! ishness, am being laughed terribly... *sobss*

do some lifesketch on lrt and we reached dangwangi station by bout 11am. gotta show my appreciation towards VIVIEN for her clear map and directions! it's truly useful~*thanks so much!!* However, we will never get lost with the super 'explorer' chenxiaoqing. We din really follow the direction shown by vivien but wallking through the backlanes and got the chance to view some hidden old houses. very convenient one, it's 5 mins walking distance from lrt station to capsquare.


well, i can say that my main focus for the exhibition is to the SECRET TENT, where i wish to view thru all those superb handmade stuffs with my own eyes! i have been constantly reading blogs of some handicraft artists and it will be great if i get to meet them today! very disappointedly, most of the tents are still empty by the time we reach the spot. Okay, we will see then, may be later.

heres the exhibition of 1000+7 eco bags. love the way they display all the bags. Am inspired and amazed by some very conceptual designs. Lets view 'em thru~








Done with the bags and so we move on into captsquare.


am amazed by all the products which are briliantly produced using reused materials! WHAO!


eatable artwork! huh...very amazing...~ will u eat a LV bag?!

Laconic from Penang. omg...i love all those contemporary jeweleries and their showcases! very very cool and creative! but...they are so expensive la...T__T


Nille Svensson from Sweden Graphics


showcase from art schools. There are some nice stuffs theree. TOA s soooo cincai lerh...

it is 2pm and our stomach starts grumbling. Therefore we head back to the secret tent, with finger crossed, hoping so much to discover more. aiksssss
very very disappointed indeed, still, the spot s kind of empty, with only a few tents. Noone seemes really interested, so i simply search through all the tents. and, yea, i cant see Tako around. sigh to the max larh... T__T

linked those photos below through Takos blog. See, they are fantastic, arent they?! how i hope i can view 'em with my own eyes.... sobs... u can see that they put in lots of effort in setting up the showcase in lots of creative ways. aiks...it's such a waste for me...





this is TAKO's tent... woof.. i just love her products!


Audreys are soo nicely made!
sigh again larh...


seeee!!!! aint them fantastic?! MARI BRAND~


No choice but to leave capsquare for food.


oh yeaaaa, almost forget to SHOW OFF bout this... hahaha.... can u guys recognize who they are? yea, ROYCE n taofupok are doing their shooting for MyAstro至尊流行榜!! too great that i get the chance to take photo with Royce!! goshh... i love myfm 四通八达 so much, Royce s really a great DJ!


sobsss, i looked damn chubby on the blouse... T__T

Passed through these stalls on the way to capsquare this morning, and so we decided to head there for lunch. We are being attracted by THIS notice on one of the shoplot. haha.. a big QUES MARK suits this quite well~ =P very funny..! so coincidentally, dats the SAME backlane! hhahha... decided to try out the 'rice behind'... hmm, tot it will be cheaper, but, hmm, still KL PRICE, it costs me 4.50 bucks, very nice though.


The super explorer leads us again to another spot after lunch. hmm, am not sure bout the name. it's a batik shop at jalan ampang if im not mistaken.. hehe.. kind of obvious that we have no luck today. Batik workshop is not available. aiksss....

On the way heading back to lrt station, we see this luxurious public toilet! very crazyyyy, edmond contribute 20 cents for us to EXPLORE the toilet. hahah.. cool~ aircond somemore! waseh~ however, theres a very weird rule. u can only stay maximally for 15 minutes. the door will open AUTOMATICALLY after 15 mins. if u are still 'in progress', then hehe....u can imagine what happen la...~




head back to sunway and we reached by 5. ......
half dying...i need some rest! neway, it's truly a great day!



have i ever mentioned bout my dream?
i wish to be a brand owner, just like how things go with all those independant groups. it dont have to be a very big organisation, with a large-scale production, or to be a very famous one. I just wish to include pieces of my creation into peoples life. hmm, my life might not be as luxurious, but i think i will just be satisfied with it. Longing for a simple life with passions and love. huh, lets make it work....~
bless me for the best then =)

WARNING: LOADING MASSIVE DATA... xD

WEHH! long lar..but enjoyed thruout d reading. KL Design Week wor, about all those pics of what they exhibited i just have nothing to say coz im so stunned. Yea, effort is there, and after that all is left for the public to judge. But one thing i have to say, one word, speechless. xD, yea wad, really speechless~ hmm, im 'expecting' zhiling to hav your own exhibition somewhere sometime in the near future, looking forward yA!

hmm, its good that you'r satisfied
and am surprised to see that you guys are first-timer visiting that self-service washroom...(hey, one big bad thing about that washroom isnt about the time limit, is if electricity goes off, think what will happen if you are still 'in progress')
o.O"

haha.
COMMENT LOADING COMPLETE.
