Street Parrr-tay!!

A trip to the vibrant heart of KL which started out more of a chore turned out to be an enjoyable outing.

The mission was to go with PL to Low Yatt plaza, where she wanted to get something for work. During lunch, I spotted Jason Lo(!!) at DOME, Times Square. Jason was there for the Hitz TV Street Party. It was about 1.30 pm and the Hitz TV crew were setting the stage, which was just outside DOME and testing the sound system and lightings.

I've always had a soft spot for JLo (our very own Malaysian JLo, not Jennifer Lopez) since I first watched the 8TV talk show, Latte@8 last year, which he hosted.

After that, (a bit SLOW, I know) I found out that Jason had two albums to his name (Days Without Dawn, 1999 and Fire Fighter, 2001) and was quite the accomplished musician, on top of having a BSc in Accounting and an MBA in Finance. Plus DJ-ing at Hitz Fm...fuh..Amazing!!

Gaya-nya...!!

I think his eyes look a bit like dreamy Josh Hartnett's don't you think? Heh..

Another hottie, IMHO

A warm, heart melting, doggy-like gaze...*swoon*

=D see any likeness?

The street party which was more like a mini concert started at 3.30pm. We stood (in heels!) for 3 freaking hours (!!) listening to the gigs and hoping for freebies (we didn't get any in the end) from the Hitz TV crew. Many of them are recongnizable names/faces of DJs on Hitz Fm like Serena C who's tiny but hot!, JLo who's oh-so-huggable, the inseperable Rudy and JJ and Ian who's cuteeee!! Also Jay, tall and slim, a VJ for Hitz TV.

The band we were waiting for -in vain- was Frequency Canon. PL's a fan and I wanted to hear for myself to see if they were that good. Frequency Canon were the winners in the band category of Blastoff, a Hitz TV show to discover new local talents.

Frequency Cannon, band that we missed

But all was not lost, as we caught some pretty good local artists in action. Some better ones to name a few, were Admonition, Media Puppets, Edge of Fire and James Baum (who initially I thought was James Bomb! =D).

Time Square was indeed a happening place on Saturday. AXN was also having some sort of competition. One challenge that we saw involved 2 participants pushing a Kembara with the engine off, while the other member of the team steered to a designated parking area.

My legs already aching from merely standing for three hours, I admired the people who actually had the physical and mental stamina to willingly challenge the extent of their strength in activities such as these...
