Went for YOUTH ’09 earlier today, damn it sucks. It’s more of like a melayu rempit gathering karnival sure heboh alike gathering rather than a proper youth convention thingy. And it’s damn kelam kabut lorrh wth~
– post edited due to certain statement which i’ve accidentally offended some people out there without realising, sorry people *peace* –
I stayed there for around 30minutes only. So yah, i ain’t gonna blog about YOUTH ’09.
Anyway, here it is
PROJECT 365 – Day 11
In the LRT station, heading back home from YOUTH ’09.
.
p/s (1): Have you watched last week’s Sony Double Exposure Episode 6 and its results show? If you haven’t, go watch! Because got me inside lololol!™
p/s (2): After you’ve watched Episode 6 results show, watch Episode 7 Results Show to know what happened to me next alrite! Haw Kam™ must watch you ask? Again, because got me inside lololol!™
p/s (3): If you’re not sure what the heck am i talking about in p/s (1) & (2), Sony Double Exposure is a photography based web reality show and it’s now aired until Episode 7. You can watch the past episodes thru the links i’ve setup above my chatbox.
Btw here’s my contestant profile video if you haven’t seen it last time. It’s lame lololol!™ -___-

Really lucky i didnt went down all the way from melaka for it.. phew
Filled with mat rempits? So, i didn't miss a thing after all.
Anyway, that is a very nice pic!
LOL
oh wells ~
shuffle?wtf is shuffle anyway man..jumping2 like ape?loh
i didn't really notice the visitors demographic but i just feel this yeat's youth convention could be better.
I don't see what's wrong with 80% or more of Malays among the people who attended Youth'09 and I don't see anything wrong with them using DSLRs. Anyway, I've not been to the event so I can't say much. Sorry to hear Malays ruined ur mood to shoot.
cheers mate.
hey there, don't mean to sound like I'm rude but I think this entry is a bit racist. I mean, what's wrong with malays having DSLR's. We all have our differences but one shouldn't judge just based on races whether in monetary terms or in any others. Sorry but I'm just pointing out my thoughts haha
I second David's comment.
OMG.. izit?! i so wanted to go, THNK GOODNESS i didnt!! LOL.
sumore i thto, when i cudnt go, "what the heck am i missing out here!!"
luckily i didnt go.. haha! but how, if 50% of them malay kids have dslrs, they mst e from upper class malays hor?
wow. i wud SO have eeekk-ed if i went! was hoping to see some potential people and activities, but whn u describe it like tht, until you didnt even want to take pics, im thinking JomHeboh Karnival like heboh..! LOL
ps. school's bday celebration is 17th Jan. Its a first time its on a Saturday, i reckon many of em old boys may make it? wana join the crowd?
Eventhough this is a racist post, I have no hard feeling. Not everybody can be cool and open minded.
I am glad that I didn't go. I hate commercialism disguised as indie movements.
yes totally agree actually…. thts wat they did during youth09… i was trying to walk pass a group of malays bcz its too crowded, then they were like making those *cicak alike sound* of dissatisfaction which got me irritated.. thts also part of the reason man… i dun hate all malays, just a few bunch of them in youth09…
pls understand my situation people… ><
yo friend… we are MALAYsian… so what is wrong when 80% gathered there were MALAY???
and what's wrong with malays having DSLR's.
just to let you know that I'm using a DSLR too… but is more expensive than your cheap A300…
Hi Bryan, we live in a multi-racial country, there's nothing wrong with the situation you described. Open your mind, my friend.
I went there on Saturday, I wonder you manage to grab any photos of the cosplayers ?
Malays make up more than 60% of the population of Malaysia, so it is not really surprising that 80% of the participants at Youth '09 were Malays. Malays like to dance anyway. I had also posted some articles regarding this Youth '09 Carnival in my blog http://www.dancesportmalaysia.blogspot.com.
Hi i was there too. I understand your sentiment. Maybe the way u put it was a lil bit harsh. It was more of like the the sure heboh thingy rather than a youth convention going on. Maybe the placement of the each program was not properly done thus all the confusion occured. I pity those community fellas as they were palced at teh worst possible corner. I think only 2% of the total visitors actually walked there.
I wonder if the nurse or doctor who help deliver you when you were born is a Malay. If that is true, then why not you just go and jump down from KL Tower the next moment you read this comment of mine. Or maybe, if the sweeper is Malay, don't walk that road. Oh, the car you are driving (most prob Proton) is fixed by Malays, DON'T Sit! Wait, most imported cars goes through Port Klang and they are handled by Malay forwarders or port handlers. Hey, Don't drive them or even buy them!
What I read from this post is stupid one sided view towards Youth '09. The country can never develop with human with such mindset such as yours! I pity the future of my very own country for your existence.
heyy guys, sorry if i've offended you people… i didn't really meant it… maybe its just me too carried away with the dissatisfaction towards youth09 this year… anyway i've updated the post and truly sorry to those who got offended k… like Axiao said, maybe its just me the way i put the words kinda harsh… =S
i understand how it feels man. there were like, 95% of those ppl at uox play at sungei wang!
i was like… hmmm… then they started booing my frens' band that was playing. wtf. they hav no idea how racist they are too actually.
However all this goes both ways. There is always a minority that believe in living peacefully together. We shall grow that kind of population ^^
Many of us are racist are due to some traditional whatever race playing gangster with other race. I got treated badly/bad service by Malays before, especially in restaurants (f**k kenny rogers) or malay towns, but i do believe not all are like that?
Yeah, it is a very racist post. agreeing with David here. just saying it as it is ya know.
And honestly I really really had a lot of fun there.
There were some good performances too ya know, like annex(i think it was spelled that way) and revolver.
And the art was SO creative. Photograph section was really adorable with pictures everywhere.
The dancers were chinese. . .
The clothes were AWESOMELY cheap! and yeah.
I guess you missed out on a lot just because you thought that Malays were there.
broaden your horizons little one
I like your pic.
And I do agree with some of us that thinks this post sounds racist. May I suggest some thing like 'It's more like one of those so-called big carnival/roadshow (Karnival Sure Heboh anyone?) rather than a proper youth convention'
>__<
There are some hidden gems like clarisse said (and totally agree with her)
The plasterdoll works are a-doll-able!!
hey whats up bryan
my name’s khailee. i was there last year to help organize it.
for last year… It’s true that with the range / timing of all the different activities, different people did take home a different experience…
So, I really gave some thought about what you said, and I brought it up with the team.
Guess what.
Based on your feedback…
This year, i got the team to improve the arrangement, floor plan, and mix of activities, neatly organized into separate festivals… and added 3 days worth of conferences in a dedicated space at the hall, too.
So, if anyone wants to dive into a specific side of malaysian youth culture, all they have to do is choose the timing of where, what etc… a guide is being put up on http://theyouthfestival.com
There’s also a more diverse crowd coming… other states to bring down youths from outside KL… YOUTH’10 will be even more diverse!
Not sure if you’re up for it, but if you’re thinking of coming, or have more feedback, or maybe you want to join the YOUTH’10 team? Hehe.
I left my personal email in this comment form, drop me an email
))
And thanks again for the feedback.

second you Bryan. Quoting RPK, "Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one". Like what ever lar what others want to say. If you wanted to be racist, you'd already posted 'more' razor sharp statements to cut them concerned. It was the situation at that time what.. I'd say the same thing too. What every the race la, people get rowdy when in groups. But thanks to some figures, we now know that 60% of the population are Malays, hence making them the largest ethnic group of all. And what does that tell you? Go figure.
Don't get offended if you've somehow been generalized. Haven't we all, at some point of our lives? Sure, say the Chinese gamble, drink, are Ah Longs, have mistresses, sell pirated VCDs, and all that. I'm Chinese but i don't do any of that, neither am i offended, because, it is true. There are people doing those sorta stuff, and they are Chinese.
So what if most of them were Malays at Youth 09? They were rowdy, that's all. If anything at all, i have more Malay friends then Chinese. IF the Chinese were majority at Penang's Xmas Eve "spray-the-window-rock-the-car" incident, people would also say the same thing. They were rowdy, and therefore their behavior is unacceptable.
And that we must acknowledge. Its time we to do something about it. Moral fiber amongst youths of all races in the 21st century is deteriorating. Stop all this about racism lar. Know that we have come 51 years and racism is the thing of the past. We must talk about this like level headed, matured beings.
Take care everyone, have a fruitful 2009 ahead.
i feel u, actually you dont even need to explain. everyone knows there is rather unpleasant people in all races. for safety reasons, some will leave the place. i probably would leave if i am alone "if" i feel uncomfortable.
anyways, shouldn't blame it on the race but the people themselves. maybe people are offended because it was implied to races rather then the different type of people. everyone should not be offended, there is always a freedom of speech. Do share opinions and make things right peacefully.
being here in overseas, i came across many unpleasant faces sometimes. not everyone is open up. that's the only problem only. probably some trouble in managing different cultures.
