An artistic s@tuRday

26th Oct 2008 Saturday

Woke up around 8 in the morning, but it's hard for me to leave my warm and balmy blanket, so i decided to snooze for a another couple of minutes, and made my cell alarm snoozed as well. haa..

Okie...finally it's time to get up, after my alarmed rang for 10 times and started annoying me, and it's already 9.10am. Ohh....i gotta be quick!

Just before i wana step out from my house, Tania called and told me that the Bijoure Bazaar had been canceled for this weekend (arghhh...), so we decided to go to central market since we are looking for some art stuff.

Between, ummi, wednesday, chaosis, big show, xnos and his sister were joing us for this artistic tour as well. The more people. the more merrier, yay... =)

This is the 1st time I met xnos (the toilet paper guy) in real person, get to know about this artistic guy thro wednesday's blog. He is very talented in T-shirt design and his designs are marvelous. Furthermore, he is totally not the look which i imagined ~ skinny, tall, unshaven, sloppy and rough, based on the impression he gave me while I'm reading his blog. In adverse, he is a gentle and soft-spoken little boy =P

There's alot of art-deco in the central market, and it's really opened and caught my eyes. But most of the stall's owner not allow us to take picture with their goods. But I'm still managed to take some, haha...being obedient is not my style.

Masks which make me thinking of the movie "scream"

the china street which selling variety of chinese art-deco

We bumped into some interesting shops and stalls as well.

a stall which selling some freaky but cute dolls keychain

i brought them home with me, the witch and the pirate

Tania and Ummi were attracted by those batik kebaya. Ummi commented that the price was a bit expensive and not worth with the clothes material. So gals, pandai pandai la. Bargain before u buy.

We saw these 2 antic motors at the 2nd floor
and I couldn't stop myself riding on the bike before the people 'shewwww...' me away =P


After hanging around in central market, we moved on to The Annexe, an art gallery which located just behind the central market. It acted as center for contemporary art. Tania and I were fascinated by some painting by a sifu from shang-hai, and we decided to take them home, in happily and satisfaction ^0^

There's an exhibition of painting from the patient whose undergoing psychiatric treatment in UM. The exhibition hall was so comfy with dim light. We decided to take a break and shooting in this cozy hall.

We ended our explore in the art gallery by signing up the guest book.
