Happy Raya

During the Raya holidays, Tater balik kampung to visit family and friends in Kuala Lumpur. Kampung Westin to be exact. KH and I met up with him at the hotel, and even had a morning swim. One of those rare times that I actually put my sexy swim trunks to good use. The highlight of the day was actually the gay matinee show at KLPAC. We had invited Tater to watch "Happy Fest", a typical production from William Yap. As expected, Tater was the only potato in the village. Quite unexpected to see ang mohs at these Chinese productions although subtitles are provided. Can't say that I remember much of the details, but Jason Yau was in the cast to provide the much needed 'skin factor' (I didn't bother to take photos although it was allowed). Some topics 'covered' in the play was drug use, throuples, mental health x suicide (?), a Daddy's interaction with his mother-in-law. Douglas Wong's (not too sure why he's wheelchair-bound) portrayal as 塔塔罗塔塔 never fails to steal the show. And the scenes with Seasons Chee always manage to bring emotional depth. At the end, not everyone found happiness.  

Right after the play, we had dinner with a bunch of friends at Hup Kee, Jalan Ipoh, an old school Chinese restaurant that I had not visited in 4 years. Tater had a chance to socialize with the Chinese-speaking group, which included a bunch of bears. A lot of new faces, even for me. The session continued at Kosa Coffee at Plaza Arkadia.
