I was looking forwards to KLFW this year, as I managed to get a photography pass last year…but I couldn’t go as I had to fly of to hell Riyadh, Saudi Arabia..

It was supposed to be at the end of October, it was then postponed until November 11-14th, now it’s canceled for this possible showing it’s face again in March 2008.

Anyway there is still MIFA! I managed to go on the first day and get some pics, will post them later.

Speaking of which, Digi is having a Fashion related competition as a part of it’s Fu-Yoh Street Blast festival (Sports, Music, Fashion & Dance).

There are some decent prizes up for grabs like the latest Nokia Prism phones and bundles of cash $$!

Along side this there is another two sections to the competition related to dancing and sports. For the b-boy fans the best 8 will get to show off this Saturday at the finals, selected from various teams who sent their videos in. The sports section involves basketball and futsal.

Again, all these will be happening this Saturday, November 24th at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa (12pm onwards).

I might check it out as I really love watching break-dancing, it’s always something I wanted to do. Get down to the finals and check out who will be the Queen of Fashion or who has the best B-boy moves in town.

The X-trick competition will be fun to watch too with the X-games style tricks on skates, boards and bikes. If you want you can get even get flung in the air with the inverse bungee (G-Force)!

There will be various artists performing such as Gerhana Ska Cinta, Joe Flizzow, Sierra, Letto from Indonesia.

It reminds me I still haven’t processed or posted the pictures from Floor Combat back in February..that was ages ago.

Anyway get over to http://www.digi.com.my/fu-yoh/ to find out more.

Apparently there's some rule for Malaysian street footie that the team conceding the first goal has to play with their shirts off.

I guess back in UK we weren't so shy, we just whipped our shirts off anyway.

It's common to play skins and shirts so you can distinguish the teams without experience kits or uniforms.

Anyway this is where the phrase Jangan Togel comes from, you can of course check out more on the Nike Football site.

It's a pretty interesting concept, and I think advertising wise it's interesting that Nike is appealing more to street and youth culture by appealing to the Malaysian specific 'togel' culture of street football.

You can grab the Jangan Togel comic, wallpaper and more over at the Jangan Togel Nike Football site.

The track playing on the site is ‘My Generation‘ by local indie outfit, SevenCollar T-Shirt. It’s also free for download at Jangan Togel’s website. Support local artists!

I hope the artwork was by a local too. It has a nice comicbook feel to it.
