I took these photos of a Bonsai & Suiseki exhibition in Kinta City about ten days ago. Don’t remember exactly when and don’t even know if this exhibition is still on but the last time I was in Kinta City, last weekend if not mistaken, it was still around.

I don’t think there was any information in the form of a banner or flyer about when this exhibition starts or ends but there was a bunting, without such vital information unfortunately, in Chinese which I couldn’t read. The organizers must think that only Chinese speaking people are interested in Bonsai and Suiseki. So not true.

I have to confess, I was lazy to come up with a post to publish these photos on my blog. I simply took too many photos and editing them was overwhelming so I only chose these for my blog. Photos of Suiseki will follow in another post. There are even more photos of stones than plants! Eeek!

I purposely made my way to Ipoh Parade last evening earlier than I normally would because I understood that someone by the name of “Master Lee” would be holding an acrobatic performance at 8pm. Turns out that the show was postponed to 8.30pm.

I have not heard of Master Lee (hence I did not get his full name) prior to his show in Ipoh Parade last evening in conjunction with Chap Goh Meh, the last day of Chinese New Year, let alone seen him on TV before, though the emcee did not fail to mention a few times that Master Lee is a homegrown talent (Made in Malaysia) and that his live performance is more interesting than on TV and that he has represented Malaysia in international events on numerous occasions.

It was quite an entertaining performance even though it’s not “acrobatic” in the true sense of the word. However, I felt that Master Lee’s fumbling with his porcelain jar could be minimized if he had made it his first act before he sweats so much which made the jar slippery and he failed to balance it on his forehead even after a couple of attempts.

Quite a few people were skeptical with his block playing act saying that they are magnetic but after calling an audience from the floor to try his hand “playing” with the blocks in a similar way, the crowd was won over.

All in all, I felt that his overall performance could be improved if he had a younger and more appealing female assistant to help him on stage instead of getting someone older in off stage clothes and a guy to boot! I don’t mean any harm but just felt that it would enhance his overall performance.

I went to KLCC for one whole afternoon yesterday, just walking from one level to another. I’ve never been there before so of course, I was simply overwhelmed by the huge space. My friend told me that I would die walking in MidValley Megamall if I thought that KLCC was huge. LOL

I was walking alone, a little lost but after awhile, I was able to make my way around. I wanted to buy something but everything was way too expensive for me. I was told that rental is at least RM30,000 per month. Well, the place has so many shoppers, it’s worth paying, I guess.

My leg was very painful, though, from all the walking. Anyway, I remember hurting the same spot when I was nursing Snoopy and I thought it was OK already but I guess not. I really should be more careful next time and not strain it again.

I only ended up with two photos of my trip to KLCC. The place simply had too many people around I didn’t feel nice taking photos of them accidentally. Perhaps I’ll go again one day.
