  1. Design a system where everyone needs to be busy chasing money, stress them out with loan/inflation structure ( 9 years for automobiles and 30 years for property) , addictive 7pm telenovela and distractions.   2. Work with property developers to make the city busier, bad road design to contribute traffic jams. Make sure they spend time on the road.   3. Ensure their kids spend more time in school but learning less, make sure the class is filled with 45 or 50 students. Make sure the teachers are tired, stressed so they couldn't even have time for themselves.   4. Feed the students into generic universities, community college franchise located nationwide with more generic degrees so they can graduate with minimum salary to start their life with debts.   5. Repeat step No.1 

Raya is the only time where we get invitations and visitationns from your closest friends. As usual the session is a complete joy made of conversations. This time is special, when you got to know your close pals recovered and kick cancer unto the ground. Raya Yang Beruntung So catching time with Hasnul and my former dean turned to creative collaborator, we never fail to compare notes. Few times, ideas can kena curi too. Three of us are known to be involved in so many cross collaborative projects that is hard to categorized.  What is laughable is knowing that your former school is organizing a "memory lane" crap .  Im one of those who cant be bothered with reliving these. We keep moving on, proceeding from one adventure into the next.  from left - Hasnul, Dato Najib Dawa I simply got no time to step back nor take a breather to see where and how far we had arrived.  What is important is NOW.  The power of now. We focus entirely unto the present moment .  Anything associated wi

a love letter to the original trilogy.  i stopped completely from buying any Star Wars stuffs ( including the ones released by Lego ), the new trilogy successfully turned me off big time, while Disney continue to pumping out every milk they could get from the property, Star Wars honestly is worn out and losing enough steam.  knowing my UCS Star Destroyer successfully collecting dusts, turned yellowish and brittle ( no thanks to our weather ), most of the parts are drying, cracking and dying. Just like how all of my 1/6 figures where their "leather" breaking up, I realized that its time for me to stop getting all these, ( mind you Lego is not cheap ).  So the process of dismantling everything and salvaged the ones that is still acceptable, keeping it aside in order to build the ones i really want.  below are my fav ones which i took some time to build.

while films getting louder and bolder with outrageous CGI in order to make numb our senses, Wim Wenders gave us a masterclass on contemplation, contentment, structure and commitment. Perfect Days is a quiet film, anchored masterfully by Kōji Hashimoto.     With our local teledrama, the producers here are addicted with glorifying empty material wealth, the plot will focus entirely on love and conflict, against the backdrop consists of out of reach relatives of T20, unrealistic furniture showroom, the drama need 50 episodes ensure the protagonist reach into the very end of the tunnel. Dont worry, any single episode will take away all your precious IQ. Perfect Days was shot only for 17 days, the screenplay took only 3 weeks, Wim Wenders goes zen and full analogue mode in giving us a space to glimpse of a toilet worker named Hirayama. Toilet worker ok, not a Yakuza or a retired assassin.   Those forgettable quaint moments, reflections and observations is the main highlight here.  Most im

after years dedicating myself to various humanitarian missions, i decided to take a complete break from it ( maybe or partially taken a toll to my health ), it took me awhile to see where im going next. As i'm so used of seeing visuals consists of destruction, flood, mud, mineral waters and sick people - my mind peel the hidden meaning and lessons behind it.  been called Abang Alonso   Sure the disaster was miserable and unspeakable - if we look again, we Malaysians bound together stronger when disaster happens. We turned united, the disaster call center ( which turn into our home base ) is filled with donations and yes food supplies.    once a Bangladeshi with his motorbike came in to sell his ice-cream, together we purchase everything ( except him and his bike ). All the volunteers in the center took a break to finish their Cornetto. Packs of rice, sugar, tea, chicken ( etc ) piled up so high, coffee served 24/7, we are linked with laughter and true enough its hard to say goodby
