Its extremely USELESS if we point our fingers - finding out the culprit, as our cause of action is inter-dependant, inter-related to one another. All of us have roles in it. Therefore, every day we can be ONLY mindful and take full responsibility to our OWN actions. Prevention is better than cure.

went to the jungle again, giving out a helping hand as they build another 2 more houses to the indigenous people. I dont know what they did in the previous life - but they got their own crib baby. Hope you guys love it eh. its kinda surreal when you have monkeys greet you in the morning. I love it - heck - its even better than facing those urban monkeys that chase materials and those "democratically" elected ones that didnt do any job in the parliament. The weather is extremely dramatic since early November - the sun shone so brightly ( its so hot until you dont know if you are sweating ) and it really pours during the evening - so this mission is kinda "challenging" as the terrain is sloppy. I still remember vividly that i cant sleep on Saturday night as it's way way way too hot. Found out idiots bombed and shooting spree in Paris, earthquake and other disasters when i go online. I can only hope and pray that the East Coast preparing well for the f...

Malaysians are well known for their opportunistic streaks, few borders on maniacal - or in plain words - greedy assholes . When greed and opportunity marries - we have bastard ugly child... Case study No 1 - Mcdonalds released their nanoblocks - i cant find any words to describe them......virtually every Mcdonald's Nanoblock stock is finished.   Case Study No 2 - Shell Lego. Apparently Lego not going to work anymore with Shell after this - due to planet conservation/moral  issues, so this adorable set will be final. Hence - it would be valuable.I cant find any of them - i was laughing with the Bangladeshi workers when they told me that it's finished.  Shell guys - if u are reading this, i just pumped 40 bucks in my car and was told it was finished. Screw you man!!!! apparently Lego's value doubled up when certain sets is retired. Few people i met - kept their Lego in the box. One word - they are nuts. Scalpers will lined up for hours - preying on every...

I was laughing my ass off when the authority announced that they wanted film-makes here to produce a film that will win an Oscar. Dont get me wrong, it's good, but after years in the industry, witnessing half ass efforts poured unto everything - i have given up. Way - way up. All of the sudden - 2015 - this year, we have so many toys related fests - WAY TOO MANY. Cmon man - everything requires so much of thought and planning. I just cant stand posing in a Millenium Falcon set-up armed with a god-freaking office chair.....cmon man...it's the Falcon. Just put more thought and respect unto it ok. Few years back, we have an automobile fest held in the PWTC and they proudly claimed that they have the Tumblr. Here's the Tumbler. imagine people paying up tickets and see this horrific turd. Worst, they have the Bat-Pod too. Batman requires a chimpanzee arm to ride it. Oscar huh?

sharing you guys one of my "old" drawing i did. Done in 1996 behind a recycled backing board. I really dig Jimi's guitar work as it's rough, raw and brutal. ink on paper, 1996

In Star Wars Episode 4, 5 and 6, we see all stormtroopers goons cant shoot on target, In Episode 7 : Return of the Jedi, they are armed with various vehicles - got beaten by midgets. How the Galactic Empire trained them - How? ..........Endless examination. I virtually got shocked seeing the new design - looks like Donald Duck. The marketing team now is going all out now, with the brilliant Battlefront released, hordes of merchandising flooding shopping aisle and as usual - periodic fans arming themselves with anything Star Wars written on it.

Our "knowledge" has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost....Charles Chaplin, The Great Dictator, 1940. captain oblivious, ink on paper, 2014 Kindness is being observant, sensitive and know - how what to ask gently. Grades doesn't matter, your achievement doesn't matter - what matter the most is how you carry yourself as a HUMAN BEING man!!!! Being humble is one of the most important, hard to do act!!

with so many people uploading the new droid BB8, for me - this feisty astromech still wins my heart hands down. pencil on canvas, 2015

when Charles Chaplin decides to produce a "talkie" - he gave us his ultimate masterpiece.Released in 1940, Financed entirely by Charles Chaplin himself, and his biggest box-office hit.Shot in 539 days. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our...

I have to post this as my students able to practice this and secondly, my future clients able to know how much time we spend on doing something creative. Most of the time, relationships can get sour when we name our price, then the haggling process ( price - bargain ) to ensure both parties work along fine. True, that my fees can be expensive, but its the time is invested upon any creative work. So most of my time, i will ask my students to practice on quantifying their time and skills when they got freelance gig. Its very annoying when people complement and deliver this classic line - " why is it expensive?"     Pricing your services Most education institutions don't prepare the students how to market themselves, manage expectations, deliverables and quote their services. Hell, 7-11 staffs or KFC workers are paid minimum of average RM4 - 5 bucks per hour.  Last time i busted my ass in KFC in 1994 till 1995 is RM1.80 per hour.  Everything can be ...

Sonny, graphite on paper, 2015 bad ass James Caan - player - womanizer - my heart breaks to pieces when he was gunned down. Would be fun to see how he head the family instead of Michael. FAQ - Andy, why you kept producing bad guys? Well one thing for sure, bad guys have clear personality, they dont pretend. They are honest. But as you can see their actions are based on their perception of what is good. Even though Sonny is a womanizer, he cares for his family - see how he jumped on his idiotic bro-in-law for laying his hands on his sister.So that is how we make characters memorable.

I seldom post idiotic posts, but one guy takes the cake.Imagine -a minister of agricultural - is not aware that there are prohibited laws to consume turtle eggs. The social media is abuzz and flooded photos of him being served with one. Dont know?   Cmon man.... Seriously?   Well these guys sending him their warmest regards.  it's 2 in the morning now - im still shaking my head. What if the waiters serve him baked dinosaur eggs? This guy defended himself by saying that he didn't consume anything to his high cholesterol...it's wrong to to say he consumed it just because the eggs were on his table. Brilliant. who had previously defended himself saying he did not consume the eggs due to his high cholesterol, said today it was wrong to say he had consumed the eggs just because they were on the table. - See more at: http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/ismail-sabri-i-honestly-didnt-know-there-were-laws-against-turtle-eggs#sthash.4cAJN090....

with Hanapi Time flies very fast, we are stepping to December, so that's another 3 weeks to go - closing a memorable 2015. December 2014 last year, without thinking much, ( right after a brilliant Xmas party ) i jumped to my pal's 4X4 to the East Coast right until late January 2015 ( means that's 3 months non stop ), we ferried goods, medical supplies, gas tanks to the flood victims, cleaning up schools and so - on. we are screwed Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu got hit - devastated by the biggest flood ever. Illegal logging was one of the factor why the flood is huge this time.   waiting for godot While the rest sitting down became annoying keyboard warriors, writing pitiful and ignorant fb messages, we go offline, breaking sweat -  chugging to the east coast. Let me say this out loud, the guys in this 4X4 team earn my full respect as they used their own personal vehicles, pooled our own money without any help from any organizations, we gritted our teeth an...
