SAYAMAHUPICNIC

A picnic that brought people together to soothe away the post poll blues. Many turned up in many colors, we sang, ate, and laughed together. A perfect Saturday we reckon!

 

KRTP-SRG

Keretapi Sarong 2013

An event inspired by No Pants Subway, but you had instead to wear everything and a sarong to ride the LRT. Everyone was also encouraged to display “My first sarong story…” on a piece of paper to make it more interesting, get the buzz going and to relay to those around them the story of their first sarong.

We also had participation of folks from other cities such as Boston, Washington, Philadephia and Mansourah, Egypt.

PARAMKL 2012

A project that started off in 2010, grew in 2011 and turned green in 2012. This time around we decided that on top of facilitating the exchange of information on www.paramkl.com.my we would add on a green element. We distributed free tupperwares at selected Param’s in the Klang Valley.

We hope that albeit a small step, that this creates the awareness in the minds of people to be conscious of over-buying and to also recycle, reheat and reuse.

Promoted on-ground and online for six weeks, RWP was an initiative that started in Kuala Lumpur, got picked up in eight other cities around the world.

Agents were planted on the 2nd & 4th floor of KLCC, facing the pond outside, holding a banner each that had an alphabet on it. Collectively, the banner said ‘Read while Waiting Project.’ People below were looking up wondering what was going on, while agents below distributed bookmark flyers about RWP. Agents inside left the building right before Security got really upset.

ROB! @ KLUE Urbanscapes, KL Pac, 2008
Our version was Adrian! Agents went around a festival asking everyone, pretending to look for Adrian. An actual person, Adrian (the festival’s Director), went into hiding quickly after discovering that his subordinates had collaborated with RA. Festival goers speculated endlessly about the gangster Adrian was, the small boy that got kidnapped, or the debt he owed an Ah Long.

    Hi guys, I was just looking at your projects and I find them quite interesting. May I suggest another one? Why not have a Why This Kolaveri Di flash mob? The song is quite a popular YouTube sensation, and these flash mobs have already occurred in several cities around the world including Sydney, Auckland and Chennai. Please do consider my proposal and let me know what you think.
