BRATs in Kuala Kangsar
Alright, lets take a SHORT break from Bali posting. Don't want you all to go jelak and overload on Bali. So lets come back to somewhere more local, iPoh!
Ole BRATs came out today. For those who do not know BRATs stands for Bright Roving Annoying Teens, a young journalist program by the Star. We have a pullout in the middle of Star Education every last Sunday of the month. You get to meet awesome people like Ian, Ivy, Niki and Sharmila (names in alphabetical order for diplomatical reasons).
Joined the workshop last year and came back to help out as a senior. So the stories you read in today's pullout are the blood and tears of the Ipoh 2009 workshop held few weeks ago. Can read some of the articles online here.
Some BRATs interviewing a lady at a handicraft store.
I actually chatted up some senior citizens. The riverbanks is like their 'hangout' spot where they will just sit and chillax for the whole day, and chat with their fellow senior citizen friends.
Met this uncle who owns this old shop selling vintage sewing machines. Has a very nice smile. And it was in the morning so the beautiful sun provided some flare.
Old fan....
This is one of the not-so-vintage sewing machines.
BRATs had to do their food review! Lol, most of them ended up in the same food court =_= Imagine it was a whole food court selling the exact same thing! -which is laksa and chendol. Had some really good mee rebus. (Did a short post on Kuala Kangsar too a while back)
Chendol was nice but I thought the shopkeepers were a little too stingy with the fillings so what you get is mostly ice. Hmm....perhaps next time request for more fillings.....with extra charges of course. But I appreciate the fact that their ice is nicely shaved.
Lastly, we made a stop at the royal palace. This is them BRATs best attemp at a High School Musical poster jump. lol

Shot of the handicraft store..........the whole place, Kuala Kangsar in general is pretty quiet.

Nice post up there! Brilliant photography!! :)
ReplyDeleteVince, thanks you! HAhaah glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteNice pix, love the composition. Btw, since ur BRATS and all, how does a teen sign up to be a BRAT (not that they aren't one already) but u knowlah, trying to get my son involved in community stuff. I think BRATS is doing a good job with teens.
ReplyDeleteAy, thanks! HAhha do get your son involved! He'll have a blast. Applications are open at the beginning of the year-Jan/Feb. Your son have to be Form 4 (minimum age) till college. This year's enrollment is already over so look out for it in the newspaper. I'll also notify here on my blog =D And there's this thing called Alternative BRATs (for younger teens-under form 4), P2P Greeniz and other community events that we organise throughout the whole year. Not so sure about the enrollment, I'll let you know when something BRATs related pops up!
ReplyDeleteSTANLEY,

ReplyDeleteoh.. seremban kid?
ReplyDeletewas staying there for some time when i was small but didn't really get to know the place.

BingWui, nah I'm a Rawang kid but will be studying in Seremban. AHhhah you don't need much help in photography. Just need to look at lotsa pics to get ideas for composition. A DSLR would help too =D Gives you lots of creative control.
