Event Details
Too often, we associate the word BLANK with emptiness, or the lack of a certain… something.
But maybe it doesn’t always have to carry a somewhat negative implication.
Come party with us as we try to bask in the fleeting euphoria of the lack of expectation;
of being Blank.

Event Details
HBD Sunday Pop Up Market is a platform for entrepreneurs, small business owners, crafters, artisans, musicians, performers, makers to showcase their products, crafts and talent. We strongly believe in supporting these small businesses in our community. The benefits are tremendous. Beyond actual dollars being kept within our local community – which is significantly higher when dollars are spent at a local business vs. corporate one – small business owners are also more likely to “do good” for our community, as well. Small businesses deliver community character and economic advantages to the town they are positioned in, but also strengthen partnerships among neighbors, residents, other small business owners, community leaders and even schools by offering social and economic relationships

Poets and poetry lovers, we welcome you to the thirty seventh session of our poetry open mic at The Gaslight, Kuala Lumpur.
FEATURED ACTS:
BERNICE CHAULY is the award-winning author of six books of poetry and prose, which include Growing Up With Ghosts (2011) and Onkalo (2013, “Direct, honest and powerful” —JM Coetzee). Born in George Town, Penang to Chinese-Punjabi teachers, she read Education and English Literature in Canada as a government scholar. She was an Honorary Fellow at the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program (IWP) in 2014, has served as Festival Director of the George Town Literary Festival since 2011, and now lectures at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC). Her highly anticipated debut novel Once We Were There (2017) begins during one of Malaysia’s most tumultuous periods, the Reformasi of 1998.
Bassman and singer-songwriter, LEON SAPPHIRE is an up and coming R&B gem. He shields his insights on the insanity of modern life behind lyrical mazes and dark hooks. While he remains elusive about his past, he insists on sharing the lessons that he has learned while on his path of hedonism. He has performed alongside Akhyla’s Fong Shelhiel and has opened for Canadian producer Tennyson.

HOW TO GET HERE?
1. Look for NEROTECA at Plaza Damansara. On the right side of the restaurant, you will see a stairwell, a Blue Light will be projected on the floor. Walk up the stairs, you will see Blue Elephant, keep walking upstairs, you will hear 60s music, you are close so keep walking up and you’ll see a huge banner saying GASLIGHT cafe. That would be the one.
2. Try WAZE or Google Maps to Gaslight Cafe.
3. If all else fails, call Meliza 0124298464

Event Details
Sebuah adaptasi novela George Orwell yang berjudul ‘Animal Farm’ ke dalam Bahasa Malaysia serta konteks budaya kepimpinan tempatan.
Diterbitkan di England pada tahun 1945, ‘Animal Farm’ adalah novela kiasan yang mencerminkan peristiwa Revolusi Rusia pada tahun 1917 dan kemudian ke era Kesatuan Republik Sosialis Soviet di bawah kepimpinan Joseph Stalin.
Adaptasi ini mengikuti jejak langkah sekumpulan haiwan ternakan di Ladang Jones yang berjaya mengusir keluar tuan ladang manusianya dan meraih kemerdekaan. Namun, janji manis kebebasan dan kemakmuran terbukti janji kosong apabila mereka sendiri terjebak dengan pengkhianatan idealisme dalam bentuk korupsi dan kezaliman.
“Apakah lumrah kehidupan kita?
Kita dicucuk hidung dan diperhamba, dipasung dan didera.
Sebaik saja kita lahir di dunia, kita diikat dan dirantai, diserkap dan dikandang.
Kita dipaksa berkerja siang-malam, pagi-petang, hingga ke hujung daya kekuatan.
Untuk apa? Setelah habis digunapakai, kita dibunuh begitu sahaja.
Tapi adakah ini lumrah alam? Adakah bumi yang kita pijak ini tidak mampu menampung kehidupan sekalian makhluk? Tidak, sudara-sudara. Setidak-tidaknya!”
– Kata-kata Markus, pejuang kebebasan haiawan sejagat.

Missing the warmth to wrap you in comfort when you are cold and alone? Miss no more as you can find it here at intim sessions #4 as we are back with songbirds, Amrita Soon and Beverly Matujal, and they will coil your hearts with the emotions you have longed for.
Amrita Soon
Amrita Soon started creating music as a way to drift out from the chaos of life, and has since garnered a small following through her online videos and live performances. She has collected awards such as Digi’s 2013 WWWOW “Breakthrough Youtube Star” and Short + Sweet Malaysia’s 2016 “Audience Choice” and “Overall Best Performance”. She was also featured at various songwriter nights at Nashville, Tennessee performing alongside the likes ofElla Mae Bowen and Lance Carpenter, Her first EP, Clues, was released in December 2014 and her song “Goodbye” was included in “Rock for Ronan”, a compilation album released in the US by the Ronan Thompson Foundation.
Beverly Matujal
Beverly Matujal has a long standing love affair with songwriting, which began as she was harbouring her first crush at the age of 12. Despite that short lived infatuation, her love for music eventually grew and she went on to write more songs that deal with the intimate matters of the heart after picking up the piano and guitar. Her song, “Honeydew”, topped the Hitz Borneo English Top 10 for atleast 12-weeks in 2012. Beverly has also performed at Iskarnival 2016 and Penang Island Jazz Festival 2016. Her first EP, Echoes, is set to release in late August.
