Do Good X Insaf

Went to the Carey Island - helping out Insaf Humanitarian building 2 houses for Orang Asal ( also known as the Orang Asli ). Insaf target to build another 5 more houses for them. For me, this mission goes well, we manage to complete it 2 houses in a span of 12 houses - we broke the record to be honest.

The weather is torturous, but sometimes the universe loves us by gifting us occasional breeze( oh man ) and yes awesome rain at night. But what makes this mission awesome is, reuniting me with my fellow Jedi Knight Basheer also known as Joel. I crossed path Basheer a.k.a Joel in Kelantan in Kampung Sokor, but didnt have any chance to catch up, but then again, crossed path with him in Setiawangsa and rest is history.

Basheer actually helps INSAF - headed by Mr Ishak, is a humble fellow who has years of humanitarian/disaster tours under his belt. I just hope his future missions like this will attract like-minded individuals.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

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......

Woke Shit

  Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term, originating in the United States, that originally referred to awareness about racial prejudice and discrimination. It subsequently came to encompass an awareness of other issues of social inequality, for instance regarding gender and sexual orientation. honestly speaking - i dont give a crap if you are les or gay , an android or whatever you want to call yourself. unfortunately this woke culture literally stamped their ugly feet in everything - creeping unto the endless vault of pop cultures, rebooting it mindlessly just to milk more cash. Capitalism will hunt endless potential and proceeded at full speed and might in owning it. its interesting to observe that capitalism hide behind in every cultural movement. Just like ESG and Equality, it turned into a battle cry to every social activist reformer. Feminists forgot that we grew up with a steely determination of Sarah Connor and Ripley ( who happened to be written by a man ) - which carry heavier b
