filling the void...

Plans to check out the capoeiristas and Bitumania went down the drain as I attempted to drive around looking for the venues. Arrived in Jaya One late and the capoeira demo was over by the time I arrived. Managed to meet Quek and made plans to join the classes at Bom Brazil on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Headed back to the city for a great workout at Gold's Gym KL. The location and music was awesome and I'm glad I signed up for that place. The membership is till end of June only though cos the gym will be moving elsewhere. Apparently some location near Bangsar. It sounds far from where I live... The reason I joined this gym was cos of the location near my office. Now that it'll be moving far away, I doubt I will be training there anymore after that. Anyway, will resume training after office hours starting next week and I can't wait to get back into my full fitness training program! Not to mention starting the capoeira classes. These things are more than perfect to fit into the voids of my weekdays.

This beautiful Sunday is spent with getting my room and laundry organized as well as lotsa resting. Not to mention the long awesome webcam session with the sweetheart. Then tonight will be the webcam session with the parents.

The one I miss...

La historia hasta ahora...

The latest addiction... squids!

Been having tonnes of squids for lunch! I'm a sucker for good sambal belacan and they're available everywhere here! Now, fried squids and sambal belacan combined, happens to be the best dish in the world! At least I think so...

And yes, I'm back... Need somewhere to let go of my rantings and adventures and where else better but here? Been up to plenty but I'm too lazy to recap. Prolly pictures will tell my story after this. Schedule for the upcoming weeks?

Capoeira. Finally going to be training capoeira with real capoeiristas... No more gingaing on my own! There's a demo happening this weekend in Petaling Jaya so I'll be headed there to check them out and join them next week hopefully. Looking to keep myself busy with training together with them every week. Their site.

While I'm in PJ for the capoeira demo, I won't be missing the chance to drop by the Pace Gallery. Bitumania, will showcase art paintings done with bitumen. Bitumen is the oily and black material (a.k.a tar...). It'd be the first exhibition in Malaysia of its kind! Pics will come up when I'm done. Lets hope they allow pictures...

Naked & Blanket - Not a porn series but rather an artistic exhibition featuring the contrasts between modern urban and rural areas... Rich vs poor. Capisce? Opening party of the exhibition will be at Findars Space on Saturday at 7.30pm. Once again, if they allow pics, it'll be up!

KLCC will be having an art appreciation series and I seem to have missed the first two parts of the series. Anyway, registered for the third and final workshop, Breaking New Ground, next Tuesday. Its sounds like a perfect place to chill while learning about contemporary art at the workshop (and just to wait out the traffic jam after office hours...)

Seems like there are tonnes of art exhibitions this few weeks... The rest I'm planning to check out but have yet to confirm. Then again, their times are flexible and I do have plenty of time so theres a really high chance that I'll be dropping in on all of them:

Michal Macku - Glass and Gellages

Cecilia and Noni's Exhibition

The Light Show

3D to 2D: Sculpture Studies

Very tempted to see what Stuart Hamm has in store for us this Saturday. But I'll be running around so many places I doubt I even have time to drop by the Panggung Bandaraya... It would be awesome to check out his bass skills tho. I'm no bassist but Cuban showed me a couple videos of the superbly mad bassists and it impressed me!

Also, not forgetting...

Hardcore training resumes next week...

=D
