Flood - Tragedy and Blessing

Most of the time, i will either involved directly or indirectly in rescue missions or giving some sort of aid. Ive been regularly donated blood annually - 4 times to be specific. I dont know - i dont expect anything, i just give and give and give.2014 gave me a space to reflect on alot of things and stuffs.

I realized that our heart is the one that speaks to us - it will react accordingly and most of the time, it wont lie, the greatest nemesis is our mind. Our mind actually loves to justify and predict the end results. After all the years dealing and managing selfish people, i decided i had enough.

True enough, 2014 gave me a space where i have to dig really deep inside and test my limits on giving. On how much i able and afford to give. I realized that money is not everything, true, we need money to buy something, having monetary and accumulating materials is simply an useless act.

December 2014 called me out and i dont think twice jumping into Hanafi's 4x4 team, join the rest heading to the East Coast to give out some sort of food aid to the flood victims. One thing i loved about this team is - we dont give much shit and its not pretentious. Its all based on honesty and efforts that we can offer. That's all. In times of tragedy, i realized that having a common ground such as compassion, trust and reliability is priceless.

So thank you universe for meeting me with the rest of this team members, you just gave me hope back. Ive been single, and most of the time, alot of people asked me why the hell im still single - the basis of my partner i treasure and looking out the most is honesty, dependability, trust and love. Meeting fellow soulmates is priceless. Its like the Fellowship of the Rings, led by reliable Aragorn, everyone are forced to face their own demons - united to defeat the evil.

All of this based on their accordance, we cant rush or predict it. 

I dont say that the flood and other disasters are evil, it is needed to reset the universe order. We need that. Deep down in my heart, i hope the armies, medical officers, civilians who are now on the road doing their part is safe and sound.

So thank you universe. thank you for showing me that there are good people exists.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Image
Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

Awesome Bowie Notes No 1.

Image
William Boyd collaborated with David Bowie - published this book as a hoax, presented as a real biography. "Nat Tate" is a combination of the names of two London art galleries, the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery. Boyd and his conspirators set about convincing the New York glitterati (social elites) that the reputation of this influential abstract expressionist needed to be re-evaluated. Bowie held a launch party on April Fool's Day eve, 1998 and read extracts from the book, while someone talked about Tate's friendships with both Picasso and Braque. About a week later, journalist David Lister,said that no one he spoke to claimed to know Tate well, but no one claimed not to have heard of him. In reality, it appears that few were fooled and most of the big names in the arts world (including artists, collectors, art historian, art dealers, New York based writers like Paul Auster, and editors of literary journals) quickly realized that Nat Tate ...
