Pesta Chow Kit Kita Fasa 2

"Di tengah bandaraya orang merata rata
Dari segala bangsa tua atau muda
Ada yang berkereta ada yang jalan saja
Ada yang cuci mata ha ha ha ha ha ha"

For a true KLites, that famous song by Allahyarham Sudirman had always stuck in my head since like forever. Chow Kit, generally, was one of the place where I used to spend my time at. Grocery shopping at Gedung Harian or Batu Road Supermarket, early Sunday morning at Pasar Chow Kit, lunch at the food stalls near "Bangunan UMNO lama", buying bakery stuff at Bake With Yen, Lorong Haji Taib and other places.

Chow Kit (including Chow Kit Road, Jln TAR, Jln Raja Laut) had always be me and mum's place to go even until today when no other KLites are going there anymore with the reason of too many unwelcomed 'foreigner' there. With so much interest and love towards Chow Kit Road, I am so happy to know that KL teenages get together with lots of volunteer and the KL Krash Pad to held the Pesta Chow Kit Kita.

Have you heard about the festival?

"Chow Kit Kita is a community mapping project by teens and for teens of Chow Kit. The map intends to show what they think and how they feel about Chow Kit and the community. Using the arts, it will incorporate their perspectives on information relevant to their surroundings and lifestyle. In other words, Chow Kit Kita is the young voice of Chow Kit.

Chow Kit Kita is the brainchild of Lew Pik-Svonn and Fahmi Reza."

   The Chow Kit faces wall of fame

I enjoyed the festival - food tasting, the show, the friendly and cheerful faces - it was happening. Too bad it was raining half way we were there. So not much of photos captured as we gotta go back.

Anyway, to the Pesta Chow Kit Kita Fasa 2 teenage volunteers, you guys rock!

 

To Fahmi Reza and Lew Pik-Svonn, the volunteers, the teenages, KL Krash Pad and whoever involved, congratulations! *standing ovation*  

P/s: If only I am still in my teenage years... sigh...
