I was with some friends at No Black Tie last Tuesday night for Wayang Kata + Moonshine, which is an event where poetry meets jazz music and I got to say it was simply AWESOME. It’s organized by the Malaysian British Council featuring Kim Trusty, Dizzy & The, Najwa, Reza Salleh and Mia Palencia. Highlight was the night was Mia Palencia and also Reza Salleh…obviously.

I was at Plaza Mont Kiara together with some friends last night for their annual Jazz & Rhythm Festival. The event drew quite a large crowd despite the slight drizzle and there were even a few people who sat under the rain. The highlight of the night was Mia Palencia, a local talent who I personally think would be the next Norah Jones of Malaysia. Her performance was outstanding especially her cover of Jason Mraz’s ‘I’m Yours’.

Like I said, despite the rain, I had fun, especially with the friends I was with, there is never a dull moment.

I had to leave before Mia Palencia’s performance was over because I had to go for another farewell party in Raw @ Solaris. Sigh, this is the second farewell party in a month, and this time is for my friend Elaine (not to be confused with Ee Laine who already left for the States), who is leaving for Singapore in 2 weeks. Well, at least it’s only Singapore and we can still meet up when I’m there (hopefully sometime next month).

Elaine and her sister Waverly….CUT!!!

All together now…

After Raw, we still somehow manage to go for supper at Sri Hartamas and by the time we finished, it was nearly 4AM. *Yawwnnn!*

Sometimes, there is nothing better than just hanging out with your close friends for a drink and chilling out on a Saturday night. Well, my Saturday night was relatively quiet as compared to the night before where I was at The Loft on Heritage Row till they closed.

Suzanne suggested we go to Groove Junction at Sri Hartamas. It’s suppose to be a place for Jazz but it was Hip-hop night and there was a live performance that night. The place was kinda okay, but a Hip-hop performance just wasn’t my cup of tea. I mean, I like Hip-hop but those performers sort of kill the mood with their Snoop Dogg-50 Cent wannabe act. Well, at least the beers were cheap as it was only RM8 per mug of Tiger Beer for the whole night.

Overall, it was kinda okay I guess as I will be going back there for their Jazz performances coming Tuesday and Friday night.
