Azian and Blackberry.

Azian wishes she's in Milan so that she can wear beautiful coats by Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs. She is studying fashion marketing, and works at Mooie boutique. Mention the word 'Iceland' and she will see it as something secluded. She is totally not digging the political party PAS, but is somewhat reluctant to support Barisan Nasional one hundred percent. On a lighter note, the TTDI night market is nice, too, according to her.

2008-08-31T20:43:00.000+08:00

Hani.

When someone mentions Scandinavia in front of Hani, a picture of a red book titled 'Netherlands Architecture' pops up in her mind. A unit of the luxury high-rise residence The Troika is her top desired luxury item. When you serve her vegetables, make sure they have leaves; never peas. Or cook her a chinese stir-fry vegetable dish.

Kira.

Kira loves brocolli. She was at The Curve last night to celebrate Merdeka Day, but is disappointed by the overabundance of Mat Rempits there. This is Kira's second appearance in I Got Shot [can you guess when was her first appearance?].

Roy.

Roy is from Johore Bahru and he is here in KL to study computer science. He's into the underground scene and frequent gigs at Central Market Annexe and MCPA hall. The best pasar malam in JB has got to be the one at Kampung Melayu.

Convent Bukit Nanas

Alicia Lee.

Alicia Lee is a librarian, belonging to Form 2 N. When she hears the word 'Merdeka', she thinks of the 51 years of Malaysia's independence. One thing she would like to change about her school is the presence of monkeys coming from the neighbouring Bukit Nanas forest reserve.

Aazraa.

Aazraa's name was designed in such way so that she would be the first person to be called out in class. When she thinks of 'Merdeka', she thinks of people in costumes. She would like the Ministry of Education to help keep her school clean, because there are hygiene problems in the bathrooms, canteen and class. If possible, add in air-conditioners! Her idea of fun is to chill out in her room by herself. She also believes that the school's nursery is haunted.

M. Asweenia.

Form 2 student M. Asweenia is in her school's official PE clothes. To her, Merdeka means freedom, no one conquering the country and having a democratic government. The things she love about her school most are her teachers and the tradition of trekking up Bukit Nanas. She likes to chit chat on the phone with her friends, and meeting up with them at KLCC to watch movies.

Suhaimi.

Mr. Suhaimi was reading the newspapers while waiting for his daughter. He immediately relates the word 'Merdeka' to the date 31st August. He thinks the pasar malam at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail is nice. When asked about the traffic jams he has to go through every evening after fetching his daughter, he says he is used to it, even though it takes 20 minutes to get to the highway to reach his home in Puchong. He will utilise public transportation if it was more efficient. He also admires the Eiffel Tower. The author, however, admires his hairstyle:

Suhaimi - side profile.

Harith watches [or reads?] Manga and Petaling Street is his favourite spot to "browse around". He bought his Mondrian-inspired t-shirt at TOPMAN two days ago.

Dill.

Dill [like the herb] has the colour brown in mind when she thinks of Scandinavia. Countries like Turkey and Russia intrigue her. Maybe because of its culture, she thinks. She wishes to make her mother happy. Thanks for visiting I Got Shot In The City every week, Dill!

Bee.

Bee is the boss of a clothing stall. She is from Johore Bahru, where you can visit her shop at 9, Jln. Dhoby 80000 Johore Bahru. Apparently it's nearby City Square.

"I am proud that Malaysia has political stability. These demonstrators feel like they have the right to demonstrate, but they are not complying with national policies. It's disrupting the system. I was a soldier during the Emergency and Confrontation. I feel like the demonstrators now don't acknowledge the struggle I have gone through, along with other people of my time".

Patrick, 16, and Will Quah, 23.

Layering in tropical weather? You can count on the Quah brothers. What Will thinks about the illegal rally that is a hot topic in this country: "I am up for it; the government should listen to the people". When asked about his favourite Malaysian food, he digs the Nasi Kandar served at Lotus, near Hotel Nikko. Patrick agrees to his brother, saying that the people should have more freedom. He also likes to eat Curry Laksa.

2007-09-23T00:13:00.000+08:00

Pavilion is a new development in Bukit Bintang, which comprises service apartments, 6-star condominiums, shopping centre and all sorts of others. The mall had its soft opening on the 20th, and the shops you can expect to find here are Club Monaco, Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Marc By Marc Jacobs, along with other brands we are already familiar with. Fortunately, this attracted the better-dressed folks in KL.

Siblings, perhaps?.

Their favourite Malaysian food is Nasi Lemak.

One Chew [right] and pal.

These guys are hairstylists at SALONESPRIT, and come from Singapore. They love to eat Hokkien Mee.

Section 14, PJ - 12.09.07

2007-09-12T20:31:00.000+08:00

The Section 14 commercial centre is getting busier and more congested by the year, with the popular digital mall and classy Jaya 33 complex sprouting within a year. I do most of my grocery-shopping at Cold Storage, a supermarket that has been at Jaya since the first day of its existence, before I was born. Here are some intriguing shots.

School prefects.

I am not too keen on long-sleeved shirts and blazers and ties worn in tropical climate, but fashion and uniforms worn here are rarely about function.

Boys looking selamba.

Spotted while browsing canned tuna

Check out that lady's self-made batik dress. She claims to own several of them, and expressed her regret wearing the least-appealing dress today.

2007-09-04T20:43:00.000+08:00

MERDEKA BEB! MERDEKA!!! at Central Market Annexe - 31.08.07 / Part Two

2007-09-02T01:40:00.000+08:00

So, have you figure out the hottest indie kid accessory yet? It's not the Yasser Arafat scarf, nor Forever 21 sunglasses, but a digital single lens reflex camera, better known as a DSLR. Paired with a Windows-operated computer and a pirated copy of Photoshop, one can come up with masterpieces suitable for their Myspace or deviantart galleries. These pictures were all taken in a row, within four minutes, and I am sure there were more that I have miss.

You might recognise the person in the green t-shirt; he's Paan from KLCC - 14.07.07.

For some reason I didn't see any girls with their DSLRs. Maybe DSLRs are more of an accessory for men. Do you know what's popular among the indie girls?

MERDEKA BEB! MERDEKA!!! at Central Market Annexe - 31.08.07

2007-09-01T02:56:00.000+08:00

Central Market Annexe celebrated Independence Day by throwing a "gig + street fashion show + bazaar". The free gig started at three p.m. and was supposed to go on until eleven at night, but was cut short at around 6.30 p.m. due to people who were complaining that it was "too noisy". Here are some looks of the attendees...

Relaxing by Klang River.

A patron at Annexe Nasi Kandar.

Flirty-eyelashed girl.

Colour block girl.

KL lovers.

The uncle with taste in eyewear.

This man had nice glasses; if only he wore an outfit to go with it.

Happy Merdeka, Malaysians!

The second portion of this post will be published soon, featuring the hottest indie kid accessory of the moment [try to guess what it is].

Nostalgic '50s at Bora Asmara - 30.08.07

2007-08-31T02:36:00.000+08:00

Bora Asmara is a Balinese-inspired restaurant located in Kampung Sungai Penchala, a 5-minute drive from Mutiara Damansara. Their staff were decked out in old-school Malay costumes and served traditional Malay dishes, to commemorate our country's 50th year of independence from the British.

A waiter.

Back in the 1950s, men in uniform usually wore their shorts big and baggy, with penny loafers. This look is what a pageboy or a postman would rock back in the day.

A visitor with a little boy.

This look was common among civil servants. The man is wearing a baju Melayu cekak musang and a kain pelikat that is worn like a sarong.

A waitress.

This lady is wearing a baju kebaya with kain batik. The look is quite modern where there are less details on the blouse [usually it's made of lace with embroidery].

The boss.

This gentleman owns the restaurant and his home is just next door. He's emulating our Father of Independence Tunku Abdul Rahman with his songkok hat, baggy trousers and faux horn-rimmed eyeglasses. Though, Tunku didn't have a beard.

Azlynda wasn't spotted leaving her apartment; she was just shopping at the one-day-old Crocs store. She works with an oil company and she's been posted to KL two months ago. Welcome to KL!

Henry.

Henry works at TOPSHOP, but something tells me he's not your regular sales assistant. He might be the resident style advisor for men.

IKEA - 27.07.07

2007-07-27T23:57:00.000+08:00

Ralfina.

I found this girl when she was about to enter the elevator to the basement at IKEA. She's not a local, I think, because the people she was with were speaking Indonesian. And I might have spelled her name wrongly.

KLCC - 14.07.07

2007-07-27T00:04:00.000+08:00

KLCC Park is a good place to people-watch. It was a favourite among the skinheads, punks, hip hoppers and Mat Rempits several years back but now, it's favoured by most indie-emo kids.

Pidot, 17. Ainul, 16. Paan, 18.

These boys admire Mika's and Oliver Sykes' fashion sense.

Haircut of the moment - the bob.

Batik-clad lady/man.

Tunic, leggings and ballet flats.

Casual, in a non-trendy way.

These girls are from Jakarta, Indonesia.

Converse fans.

Apparently the guy in the picture mysteriously found my blog on the day after this picture was taken.

Pseudo-CHANEL.

Check out this guy's CHANEL t-shirt. He was carrying a deflated ring buoy.
