Lawak Ker Der..... Serious Lawak....!!!!

I went to watch Lawak Ker Der live show at Istana Budaya Last Friday (3rd Feb) with Lina and Kayrie. Well sape lg geng2 tgk konsert/live show klau bukan ngan diaorg ni kan.... and this time our theme was polka dots! Sounds fun eh...

A lil' bit about this show, Lawak ke Der (Der means Brother or brader) was a first ever stand-up comedy show in Malay presented the talented bunch of comedians in the country. Hosting the show was the witty Nabil (Raja Lawak 2). They were Jozan, Osbon, Boboi, and The King of Stand-up Comedian, Harith Iskandar that took part in the show. Jozan and Osbon performance was rotated. Osbon got only slots on the 3rd & 10th Feb, while the rest was Jozan.

We entered the hall a bit late (show started at 8.30mpm), where Nabil already performed the opening act - singing the "I'm Sexy and I know It" song, his version of course :P Each comedians were funny in their own right and have their own styles of comedy. I bet U, there was no silence moments during the show since the hall was full of laughter all the time with their superb performance.The verdict? It was totally funny!! We all just couldn't stop laughing throughout the show. Really worth every RM spent.


Pecah perut masing2 ketawa. It was really hilarious! Thumbs up to all!!


*disclaimer*: Taking photo during the show is prohibited.... Kena pandai curi peluang. Wink!


Boboi was great!





After the show ended approximately at 11.30pm, there was a "Meet-The-Fans" session. A chance to see the favourite comedians up close and personal, everyone quickly got in line to get an autograph and took photo with them. (Retis ko sape xnak kan...)




1st met Harith Iskandar. "Your performance was really great. I enjoyed it a lot..!!" Ayat bodek from me :P, but I really mean it. Frankly.....




Next, met Nabil. Mmg pok-pek2 mulut si Nabil x sudah2. Very friendly. OMG I look like a giant standing in the front. (The truth : klau ddk belakang pun besar gak. Huhuhu...)




I'm a cheapskate. Kedekut nk kuar duit beli poster, tiket pun jadikla suruh retis2 nie sign...




With Osbon.... Menggeletar Abon when I called him "Abg Abon". Then xkan nak panggil pakcik kot? :P




Kayrie and Lina turn with Osbon. They're very humble. Sape la yg tuduh diaorg lupa diri tu mmg x patut!




Kayrie with Boboi





Afdlin turned at my camera....



Kesan make-up jd mak datin seekers pun x hilang lg tu!!




Polka dot theme with Boboi. Kayrie mcm ngelat skit coz polka dot nya not very obvious.




Beria2 diaorg nie sign otografff kan? Cayalah....




Mission accomplished




Lobby area





Last shoots before went back









As ussual, we had our dinner cum supper first at nearest stall. Starved since we went here direct from office before. After that, I sent Kayrie back to her house and went straight back home. Happy mood to watch such a nice show. Bravo!!

Dinner yg Vogue @ Renaissance Hotel

I went there with Nor quite some time ago. Last year to be exact, on 27th Oct 2011. It was an adhoc plan. Well for me at least coz initial plan was between Nor and my other office's collegue Zaharah. They planned to dine at Renai (after getting the 50% discount group-on coupon) however after the booking confirmed and everything, Zaharah got other's problem that made her unable to go. Desperate I guess, Nor asked me to swap Zaharah place and luckily I was in the mood to join. Imagine last minute information and kena keluar duit jgk around RM49 for the buffet... that's why I said nasib baik I was in the good mood. Kalau x mmg malas nak pegi, especially when we needed to be there after work around 8pm. Dah la baju gi keje aritu x cantik.

I insisted to go home first after work to change my attire. At least xde la nampak bacin sgt makan kat hotel. Nor called the restaurant and postponed to 9pm. She picked me at my house around 8pm then merempit kami ke KL. Alhamdullilah traffic was smooth that night.

Arrived at the restaurant and took our seat. View of the dining room...



The waiter came and asked for the drinks... Imagine air yg available only plain water. Nak taknak kena la order juice mango. Kang nampak sgt budget. And you know what, this one glass of juice cost around RM10++ ok!



Me at the salad section... There was one big space for salad while the main course and dessert sharing the same space. Got what I mean x? Maknanya salad lebih variety dr main course. That's a trick ok. To make foods look variety even it just more vege than meat!



See, a lot of choices for salad. Right top bakery area, bottom waffles (yummy!!) and of course the main dishes..

Fruits and chocolates. There were White, Dark and Green type chocolates here...

It's MAKAN time!!

Local menu...



Full with the main course, lets take a look at the desserts...

In term of chocolate, I cannot tolerate. I'm a "chocolista". (Is it a word??)... Bantai je la janji yg penting I'm crazy about chocolate. Rasa mcm nak bwk balik chocolate fountain nie kat umah. Just dip anything u want here. Slurrppp...




It's really a temptation.



Wolla, ice cream...




Owh, the name of our cafe is Vogue Patisserie Cafe. So make sure U dress "vouge"ly if U wish to dine here ok... Actually for me style is not a matter, the most import thing is your "pocket"... :P



Overall the buffet was ok. However the price (original price before discount RM98) was a bit expansive for me as others hotel like Marriot and Mandarin Hotel KLCC (just name a few with similar price), the foods were much variety than here. Kat sini lamb grill pun xde. I rated 3 out of 5.

Nevertheless, perut sudah kenyang.... our next xtvt before went home berposingla gamaknya.



Nak buat red carpet entrance la tu kononnya.. Berangan DIVA itu penting!



The lobby lounge



There was one lady that time who was very sporting and volunteered to take our photo.



To the East wing lobby.... means our cafe td located at the West wing la kot. I already forgot... :P



Another cafe at the East wing



Temptations cafe... This one looks oriental. Probably more Chinese food here.




The main lobby... berapa banyak lobby da..!

Outside the hotel



Since we parked our car next to the hotel, we took outdoor photo odw our walk there..



Dunno, nampak buruk lak Renaissance time nie.. Angle x cantik kot



Walla, KLCC at night.



I love this photo so much. Susah nak dpt shoot nie tau. KLCC background, with a barrier such as the very limited light plus the non-stop passing peoples... Result was satisfactory!




Menara Kuala Lumpur also visible from here




KL is really a city of lights and this is the proove!!



While Nor was driving, I took this photo of KLCC tower and very impressed with the result.




KLCC looks so majestic and amazing at night. Subhanallah really proud with KLCC and proud to be Malaysian. Cayalah...!!!



Finally I reached home at midnight. Tomorrow got to work so went straight to bed after changed cloth. Alhamdullilah, one more experience added to my memory. Syukur with His consent that I am able to experience something new, face new challenge, taste good foods, work in happy environment and breath everyday to enjoy all this. However remember everything we owned is only temporary so no need to be greedy or proud. He's the one who gave us and He's the one who can take it back. Subhanallah walhamdullilah wallailaha illallah wallahuakbar!
