Friday night

Girlfriend's friend organised a clubbing event. Not really my thing, but once in a while for a laugh why not

Quick bite before the event

On the way

The crowd

In the middle of the gig, suddenly 3 guys came out playing didgeridoos which I found quite hilarious. Had to snap a picture as a tribute to Cameland...:-)

[Cameland]

hahahaha, thanks for the tribute there.

Last Saturday. A friend opened up a new store called Sole What at one of the shopping centres here. These are some pictures from the launch party

More pictures can be found in this forum (excuse the jumbled up English):

Dinner after

And desserts

Just out of curiosity, how many times have the jeans been washed/soaked before this? I'm thinking of giving them a hot soak just before sending them off to Largo.

[ordo]

I haven't soaked them yet.

[Largo]

I was going to check how rank they are and see if they needed a hot soak or not-I'd say go ahead and do it anyways if they're starting to get ripe. It'd be the first one in 3 months, right?

[justiz2]

Not sure... Captain5640, Soraanam, Cameland?

[Cameland]

I gave them a handwash soon after I started wearing them, if you can remember, as soon as I got the jeans I got incredibly sick for days so I forced myself to wash them. Nothing major though, just hand wash.

[justiz2]

Cafe surfing and doing work...

[fallen angels]

great job keeping us updated justiz.

when are these going to the next contestant (Largo)?

[ordo]

cosign

Your updates are appreciated. It looks like you are really putting some crazy wear on them in those last shots.

[justiz2]

Just doing my job

I'm thinking of sending them off on the 18th or 19th if Largo is ok with that. That'll mean the jeans would have been in my hands a full 30 days.

[Largo]

Fine by me. That should get them here in time to take them to Laos with me.

[justiz2]

Thanks Largo

Now for some more touristy/locally-flavoured update. I've been meaning to put this up for a while now.

It's the middle of the Ramadan month now and the special thing for only this month is there are 'Food Bazaars' at certain spots around town. Plenty of people come to the bazaar, not just Malays/Muslims who buys food to break fast with but also Chinese/Indians as well because there they can find all sorts of local dishes at one place. At other times, they actually have to make an effort to hunt these dishes down.

Anyhow, this is one that is quite close to my place. It's one of the biggest around, with about 200 food stalls. I took pictures of those which I thought were the most interesting but if there's a demand, I can always pop over to get more pictures...

The crowd

[justiz2]

A stall selling grilled chicken cooked over charcoal fire. Advertised as 'Ayam Golek' or Rolling Chicken. Guess it makes sense...

Barbequed chicken...

One of the most popular stalls there; grilled fish

Plenty of side dishes to choose from to have with your rice

[justiz2]

Desserts...

... and refreshments

Coconut drink...

...and a personal favourite, freshly pressed Sugarcane juice

[justiz2]

Now this is at a different bazaar, different day. Excuse the ratty sandals

This bazaar is much smaller than the one before but it has 1 particular specialty.

Here's the line of people lining up for it.

Keep in mind these pictures were taken at about 4.15 pm. So not only was it raining, people were queing for about 1 hour to get the damn thing, it was also about 3 hours before the time to break fast and they could actually eat it.

[justiz2]

Anyhow, to show what they were queing for

Yep, spring rolls.

Have to admit that they are nice. Personally, I don't think it's worth the effort but that's Malaysians for you - we take our food very seriously. Rumour has it that one of the former King of Malaysia specifically asked for this during his meals which gave the nickname 'Popiah Agong' (King's Spring Roll) for it

I'll post more pictures in the blog (once I get down to it.)

[Cameland]

very interesting pics there, I really like the ones that show something about your country. I'd rep you if I could.

[Charlie Delta]

Your whole last post makes me hungry....

And sugarcane juice sounds really good.

[fallen angels]

nice... awesome pictures justiz! lots of images of places that many of us dont get to see that regularly, thats the kind of stuff i like to check out when im traveling overseas, and that's the kind of stuff i like to see about where these jeans have been! rep is coming.

[justiz2]

Thanks guys. Cotton Duck, I'll try to take more food pictures just for you...:-)

Friday night. Had a quiet night up at a rooftop bar/club of a hotel (Trader's Hotel) in town.

With the girlfriend (she's responsible for some of the pics I have been posting)

First time I've been to the place - food was pretty good, the drinks weren't, venue was way too warm but it's got...

...one helluva...

view...

[mrip]

Very nice pics justiz2. Nice to see a long queue for something else besides nike dunks.

[justiz2]

Thanks mrip...

Evolution pictures at 2.5 weeks. It was cloudy over the weekend, that's why this set is a bit late...

Wallet fades coming along nicely

And so are the combs

Some nice fades going on

The notebook is developing pretty well too....

Here you can see there's a nice contrast where the elastic band is...

[captain5640]

Not sure... Captain5640, Soraanam, Cameland?

I gave them a hot soak for about two hours before I sent them off. Too bad I never got any good wear in them...

[justiz2]

Thanks Captain, that's what I'm thinking of doing too

[justiz2]

At the cineplex, with a more SuFu pose...:-)

[justiz2]

A few hours ago - weekly indoor football session. We had a mixed group this time around.

Didn't intend to play in the jeans but forgot to bring my shorts, Good thing I had the camera with me...
