Something about Urbanscapes...

Urbanscapes is organised by KLue and is the first and only all-day “user-generated” creative arts festival. Urbanscapes aims to bring together communities and participants from the fields of music, arts, fashion/lifestyle, and film under a single banner to showcase the best of the local scene. Previous Urbanscapes events took place in 2002 (Grappa Soho) and 2004 (KL Sentral), with last year’s Urbanscapes 2008 @ KLPac drawing in over 8,000 attendees.

For those of you who would like to be a vendor with the Joujou + Shugi team, email joujouandshugi@gmail.com for the Vendor Application Form.

Joujou & Shugi Feature in Kosmo! Tabloid Newspaper

Our fellow toy traders were featured in Kosmo! newspaper released on 13th April 2009. It was certainly a great experience for them to be able to speak about their favourite hobbies. Thanks to Johanna for the cool write-up.

We leave you with Otam's Pulau Perhentian. One of my favourites! So, here's a short clip of him performing 'live' at Groove Junction.

Last Night, Tonight, Tomorrow...

It's been a long hard day but just by listening to this beautiful melody makes everything worthwhile. Hope it will give you a peaceful mind too when you get your sleep tonight. I couldn't find the embedded video file but you can always listen to it from YouTube.

Here's Last Night by Wang Lee Hom.

Good night!
