predictions on the day after

By tomorrow, Malaysia will be 49 years old, and many of us will be scraping ourselves off the carpet in a hungover stupor, trying to make sense of the universe again after a night of hardcore partying. Nothing wrong with partying, of course. Go ahead and knock yourself out. But maybe the festive mood would […]

what the …?! pt.2

David Friedman is a photographer. David Friedman is a Game Boy fanatic. Put those two traits about David Friedman together and you get this website dedicated to David Friedman’s Game Boy Camera Colour Photography Project. While the ancient, yet trusty GB does have a rickety digicam add-on, our intrepid photographer-slash-inventor was having none of the […]

golongan pemuda zaman sekarang

This reinterpretation of our Jalur Gemilang was courtesy of Wheel Love, a collective of action sport lovers, sk8rs in particular, who hope to promote their interests to a wider audience. Their efforts include Stunts 4 Swag and stickering KL with the rallying cry, ‘Jom Skate!’. It is always heartening to see patriotism alive and kicking […]

the nature of names

In an effort to find ‘proper direction for them’, the authorities have decided to rebrand those ubiquitous motorcycle hellions colloquially known as ‘Mat Rempit’ into something more inspiring, say for example ‘Mat Cemerlang’. I don’t know about any of you, gentle readers, but there’s something unusual to me when the participants of an unlawful activity […]

pimp your ride

Sometimes I wonder why people don’t customise their belongings more often. Driving along the roads and highways of KL I see rivers of blank canvases just waiting for a rad paint job and an owner daring enough to execute it. When I spotted this scooter in Bukit Bintang, I couldn’t help but admire the artist. […]

one bangsar feast

I read about the August Saturday Feast of Flavours in the papers and naturally, being a foodie, I decided to check it out. After all, the affordable price tag (RM28nett) was only more incentive to the already inviting row of restaurants called One Bangsar. There are a total of 9 eateries that make up this […]

traffic terror traumatises townfolk!

Okay, maybe I’m being dramatic. Waitaminnit, no I’m not. Yesterday’s traffic gridlock in KL was atrocious, maybe one of the worst in my 28 years of living here. With flash flooding, uprooted trees littering the roads, and buses and lorries breaking down right and left, driving through our fair city last night was about as […]

a piece of my playlist

Forget the eyes. In this day and age, it’s the screen of an MP3 player that’s the window to someone’s soul. Currently, Scott Hansen (aka Tycho) and his album Sunrise Projector hits the top my list with a cool sound that just grabs you inside. It’s smooth downtempo with a sampling of raw LoFi beats kind […]

JUICE client appreciation night

  Held at Mezquite 52, there were generous amounts of libation for our thirsty throats, but here’s something I couldn’t wrap my head around–if whiskey and Coke were on free flow, why wasn’t Coke free? Luke, our VP of Publishing, sorted that one out with a “Gimme a whiskey and Coke, hold the whiskey.” But good things […]

police shootout outside paul’s place

There’s something about Paul. I came across this thread post in the Malaise Forum, one of the best Malaysian independent rock hubs I know. Here’s the skinny:two nights ago, at approximately 8.30pm, a plain clothes policeman approached a group of indie rockers hanging out at the cafe close to Paul’s Place in Old Klang Road […]
