Balai Seni Visual Negara and Kompleks Kraf Kuala Lumpur Trip

Aloha march! I know it’s been 10 days but I guess it’s still valid. It’s early of the month aite?

So yes, I’ll be writing about the trip I went last Saturday (8^th March 2014).

This trip was planned since last year. As a minor psv teacher trainee, it was a requirement to go there. Ok not really but like I said as a minor psv trainee, we should go there once.

We start our journey at 7++ in the morning when we supposedly be going at exact 6.30 am. Bullshit promise. Never on time. I slept at 5 and woke up at 6. Planning on sleeping in the bus and I did.

Our first destination was BSVN. Which is located beside the Istana Budaya. (so that’s the Istana Budaya I saw in Lawak Ke Der). We were greeted by our own personal BSVN guide. His name was wes or ves, I do not know the exact name. We kept calling him sir and he insisted that we call him by his name cause, he’s not that old and probably have the same range of age with us. After we've been briefed about the gallery in Balai Seni, he brought us to walk around the gallery in the first floor. Unfortunately, the gallery on 2^nd and 3^rd floor was being renovated, and we could not go in there. Im sure it was much more interesting on that floors. What a luck we always have!

                

 Some of the painting. The theme is surrealism. 

The title for this Black picture is "lembu betina something2" I forgot the title.
but the hell? where's the lembu?

This is our guide. not that old huh. I  mean the guy. speaks English very well! 

We only went to the Absurd city and National Portrait Gallery and took many many many selfies that we can. We were not allowed to take picture in NPG though. Confidential bla bla. Not sure. (but you can always be naughty and take picture, but there’s CCTV everywhere so…)

I am still not satisfied with the 2^nd and 3^rd gallery renovation. Why must it be that day!

Oh, and there’s no admission fee plus they gave us free postcard. So, next time I go there, you better be open mister.

Was trying to imitate the celebrity wave. failed miserably.

Next destination was KKKL. There was Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2014 going on. Ok, this time we were lucky. There were many interesting event happened. We also got our own personal guide. Walaoweh. As it was very crowded, all of us scattered around with our own group. I was stuck with Cyril and Pidah so we decided to explore all the Khemah. There were 4 Khemah. I think we went to all the khemah but the place was so big so it’s hard to keep track where we've been to. We were very exhausted from walking when we heard people singing at this one place and we went there and decided “we just sit here la”. I seriously don’t know what that place was, maybe Panggung Sari cause there was singing competition rehearsal.  Panggung Sari=singing? 

Our Guide

Inside the pusat kraf. this picture was really nice. the expression was superb.
altho im really sure santi was pretending there.

You think this is just a mere picture of a sea turtle? nope. it was a drawing!
and i can assure you it cost a fortune! 30 k maybe?

We lost our way to the main entrance cause like I said, the place was huge! And pidah has no sense of direction too. We end up lost because of him. We enter the wrong khemah twice. It turn out the main entrance was just under our nose. I was right all the time. Cyril and Pidah seriously cannot kena harap for things like this. HAHAHAHA. 

This is where we stuck. I want to sleep there. so tired.

And we got free stuff too. A badge and a frame. Admission fee also free. I got 4 bracelets for a cheaper price. Bought it from Aunty from Sabah. Special discount for your own people. Jyeahhh.

Our cute lectures! seriously cute. :D :D :D

This is the frame. It looks expensive. They also gave this to other University students who came to visit.
 Imagine the cost. Money comes Money Goes Money Bye Bye. 

We were dead exhausted by the time we got to the bus. We stopped at RnR Rawang to eat and I hesitate to come down cause I just want to sleep. After that, we went back to bus and all sleep like a log. We just want to get back to our own bed quickly.   

lotsoflove
