Corporal PUNishment for the puny ones in KLPAC!

Ok, failed attempt at punning just now. Still a good try, no? (Please say yes!) Though, puns and jokes aside, I was glad 11th April 2012 was public holiday, solely because I don't need to worry not being able to make it for Corporal PUNishment, KLPAC's latest production.

Imagine living in a world that having fun is a cardinal sin, a crime punishable by law and an act condemned by.. ALL!!! So, what happens is a guy, aptly named TL(trust me if you will, his name has a few uses and contributes to some puns in the play), found a way to change that world, when his friend, KC bring news of PUN-dora box to him.

So, you get to see 'the odds against them', how ssssseductive snakes can be and the Forbidden fruit of the play! XD, just so you know, those are some parts of the play, still not the whole thing! Some photos below to put the play into perspective( I tried a pun! XD)

From left to right : The cat(no, your eyes weren't playing tricks, its a guy), TL, girlfriend and FC

 A journey to PUN-dora's box!

 PUN-dora's box!!! Finally!

 Some serious epic gay moments! Yaoi-fans might like this part(and the number six just got a whole new meaning)

 This is the part I like the best : Engaging and involving the audience!!!

 Who the hell is this?

Is this the end? But doesn't look so? What do you think?

Besides their journey, one really captivating aspect of the play was the soundtrack. The team pieced together varying pieces of music which worked wonders for the whole play. I myself tapped my feet to the music, especially when *drum rollls...... The main theme of Pirates of Carribean came up! Can you feel the pounding? Can you feel the excitement and adventure yet?

But, this play made me think, puns can be a good form of humour, but what happens if it is the only form of humour? What will happen to humour in the form of silly-ness? Or, in the form of being.. captain obvious and the likes?  

So, a final word before the curtain closes, Corporal PUNishment will run from 11 April to 15 April in KLPAC, 8.38pm for all days and only 3.33pm on Sunday(15 April), alternatively, if KLPAC is too far, do drop by at PenangPAC from 2 May to 6 May, with the same timings as above including 3.33pm on 6 May.
Tickets are priced at RM 33 for basically everyone unless you are a student, less-abled and a TAS card holder, which will then cost you RM23 per ticket. Preview nights aka 2 May 2011 is RM 23 flat-rate for PenangPAC audience!

Remember the fun and to pun!!

Luna Bar. At. Last.

So many things happened within 2 weeks that I don't even know where to start! But one thing for sure that I must write is my virgin trip to a bar. Unlike the one in Bartender but still a bar. And not just any bar, but Luna Bar. XD

Ok, a short prologue before I start gushing about Luna Bar. It all started with a lecturer wanting to motivate his students to do better in exams and the incentive he would gave is a meal in Chili's. So, what happened was, for the sitting I did, only 4 of us went for the paper, so since its a small group, we managed to nail an additional treat, which is first round of drinks in Luna Bar.

At Chili's, it was more of a eating and chit-chat session. Feels good to be able to crap as well since the corporate is all about being prim and proper.  Also, the time at Chili's was just to wait for the KL city to turn into a breathtaking view(assuming you are seeing it from Luna Bar).  

Anyway, what I had for the first round, inspired by Bartender, was Grasshopper. Its quite a dessert-type drink because its minty and sweet but not before you experience the alcohol of it. So, first thing you get is to be kicked by the alcohol but the cooling and sweet sensation that you get after that was just fantastic! And its a frosty green that's just... easy on the eyes. And the male sign on the coaster is just perfect for me! :P

In Bartender though, Grasshopper was actually prepared Pousse-Cafe style, where the drink is supposed to have 3 layes, a white layer, red layer and green layer(don't really remember the order) and they are not suppose to mix with each other.

So, the drink I have next(aka paid for it myself) was actually Daiquiri Lime. This one actually carries sourness with a tinge of bitterness at the end. Not really strong alcohol presence. Decent for those who wants a slight taste and not overly strong drink.

Ops! Too eager to talk about the drinks that I forgotten to mention about the ambience, decor and view of Luna Bar. Well, in my most humble and personal opinion, this is a really great place to bring friends that you really want to get closer with because its has that casual and classy atmosphere to be in. Furthermore, you have great view of KL City, rumoured to even be able to see Genting Highlands on a clear day. I purposely did not take a picture of the view as I won't need to write, or more like, no one would care to read what I wrote.

Quick tip though if you really want to make a visit : Be there at about 8pm or when the sun is setting or after it sets, then you won't need to pay cover charge nor make any bookings. 

 

In short, its a great place!

Shang Ging! Happy 21st!!

Just a big shout out to a dear friend/secondary classmate of mine! Though, he is more of a joker than anything else.

So, on 24th March, he had a birthday celebration in his house but his actual birth date is 25th March. And he invited two batches of people, one from Sri Garden and another from university.

The plan on our side was to meet up at Sow Yeng's house(aka Sifu) and then we shall go together to his house. But in true Shang Ging's fashion, we arrived late. XD We conned him that we lost our way and almost ended up in Ulu Hangat.

It was also a first for many things. XD For those who know this friend of mine, it was actually quite funny seeing him serve us, like literally. Furthermore, he was always so blur that when we heard him giving road directions, we had to quickly record it!

Ah! Just remembered that now he got two wives ady. One from Sri Garden and one from university. The Tai Por and Yee Lai.
