KL Freeze in Unison, Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 13th April 2008.

Yes! I was there, with my siblings and Abhay, at KL Freeze in Unison in Pavilion. Detailed report to come, probably tomorrow once the assignment load has eased. But for now...


UPDATE:

So yes i've finally handed in all my assignments.
For now.
Not including second assignments. But hey, passing up is passing up.

Anyways, on to the newsworthy story (damn journalism.), KL Freeze in Unison, which happened on the 13th of April 2008.

What can I say? It had all the tension of a demonstration, a firestorm of a rally and the youthful exuberance of an Incubus gig. I've been for some cool shit over the last couple of years, including all the aforementioned, but this was by far the most wicked, in a twisted kinda way.

We arrived at the meeting point, LOT 10 in Bukit Bintang with time to spare. It was rather odd, as the entire mall was filled with vagrant "We're ALL gonna rob your store, and yours, and yours, and look flashy while doing it" people to the point where staff members were getting edgy. Not toooo inconspicuous, I'd say, but nevertheless!

At about 2:30pm, the drug-pushers or "organisers" started walking around, trying not to be noticed while slipping orange slips of papers into the hands of people who were also trying to look covert, as if the act was completely normal, inclusive of the 900 or so people whom it was being distributed amongst.

The Flash point had been revealed: Pavilion.

When we got there, the bros, Abhay and I started scouting for a good place to freeze while killing til the designated time. We decided to freeze as bodyguards surrounding a VIP, played by my tiny ten year old brother.

All was set, until some started freezing earlier than others.
Fools didn't synchronise their watches. Damn.

So the timing was messed up. No matter, it didn't stop it from being any less cool. Nothing like 900 people freezing as they stood for four minutes in a public place with no one else aware of what's going on, managing to get the event on TV, and pissing of the management! Amazing!

Great to see Jasmine freezing in the middle of a photo. Nice. She directed me to this video.

Jasmine's the frozen girl in blue and white, we're the idiots in suits.

Beat that shit!

I would've prefer KL Freeze at Pavilion if I went for it. But all the same, it was great.

No worries. Anyone who freezes is automatically cool.
