Woke up still groggy from INXS concert yesterday. Met up with Amy at 1-U after having lunch at Sri Melaka – Nasi Lemak and Cendol. We had to surrender our wallets, mobile phones and other electronic devices, my camera included. (Boo hoo!) We were given only one phone which SIM card and battery had been removed and sealed in a plastic bag. Break for emergency use only.

We were given a tube of Brylcreem Xtreme Gel - to "AXN-up" our hair.
