sugar for your ears

Aloha loves!

i just got back from a weekend in KL, Malaysia where i hosted the U.O.X Play event (thanks to the people at XPAX) and as long as the event was (11hours ish) and although not too many people showed up (since it hasnt been well promoted just yet) - the performances were AWESOME. I really admire UOX for pulling together so many local artists to showcase their work at all these events (there are 5 more UOX play events in malaysia between now and january)... seriously it's heartwarming to see locals acts finally get some love (those of you in singapore, please, take note!)...

i fell in love over and over again with a bunch of people who generously poured sugar in my ears over the course of the lovely grey day and the sticky dark night.

here are a few of those wonderful people now; take a taste, fall in love. 

let it happen. (he did:)
 & in case you were wondering...
