\n11th December 2011: EPIConcert<\/a><\/b>, at The Stage, Publika Square, Solaris Dutamas. A throwback to the 90’s, with proceeds going to EPIC Homes – an outreach program to build homes for the Orang Asli.<\/p>\n


\nQueenz Cheng<\/b>, from Perlis.<\/p>\n


\nYou think you’re otai<\/i>? Well these guys are more otai than you! (Otai = old-timer.)<\/p>\n


\nI wonder where they usually play.<\/p>\n


\nI then headed upstairs for lunch at The Red Beanbag<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nI fell in love with the place and their burgers, and later their Fowl Luck meal.<\/p>\n


\nThe place is modelled after an Australian coffee house, complete with quirky name and decor.<\/p>\n

It also probably keeps the spirit of The Pink Sage<\/b> (that was also in Solaris Dutamas but had closed down), in that it had good coffee and lots of chicks would hang out there.<\/p>\n


\nMeanwhile, as I had bought a ticket, I got a box of 90’s paraphrenalia.<\/p>\n


\nInside were classic snacks.<\/p>\n


\nLong time no see Shervin<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nYi Ching<\/a><\/b> shows us how to walk the dog.<\/p>\n


\nEwin Ee<\/a><\/b> and I camwhore.<\/p>\n


\nThanks Ewin for taking this picture! Shot with the Sony Alpha 900 with the Samyang 35mm F1.4 UMC at F1.4.<\/p>\n


\nWeiyein Leong<\/b> and (then future) husband.<\/p>\n


\nJosh Lim<\/a><\/b> doing his thing.<\/p>\n


\nBubble blowing competition!<\/p>\n


\nStack them up.<\/p>\n


\nComplex.<\/p>\n


\nSam Wong<\/b> on stage.<\/p>\n


\nNarmi<\/b>, acoustic soulster.<\/p>\n


\nThe crowd dances along. I don’t remember to who.<\/p>\n


\nBig-eyed Yi Ching.<\/p>\n


\nAudrey Tan<\/b> and sister.<\/p>\n


\nLainey Ying<\/b> and Celeste Goh<\/b> in the back.<\/p>\n


\nA 90’s Baywatch run contest.<\/p>\n


\nThe sun was setting, for some cool hair light.<\/p>\n


\nYep, lovely hair light.<\/p>\n


\nLeonard Chua of An Honest Mistake<\/b>, on the left.<\/p>\n


\nAnd then, it was Paperplane Pursuit<\/b> on stage! Gotta love their band shirt (not pictured here.)<\/p>\n


\nDarren Ashley plays bass for them and sings backup vocals.<\/p>\n


\nExtreme closeup of the goggles.<\/p>\n


\nThen, it was time for Darren Ashley<\/a><\/b> and his band!<\/p>\n


\nThis electro-pop genius brings on the crowd.<\/p>\n


\nHe has quirky sounds and irresistably dancy grooves. I can’t explain it well. Click here to understand<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nContagious!<\/p>\n


\nIt makes grown emcees cry.<\/p>\n


\nThe final act of the evening – Busco<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nSam Oh! Spot the projected square pixels.<\/p>\n


\nLater on that night.<\/p>\n


\nThanks to Waifon for taking this picture!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
