Periodic Scumbags

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 outlet, buying everything and then sell it on secondary market with a jacked up prices. Thank goodness - I was in the jungle and kept shaking on my head seeing all these funny human behaviors.



This is when Ikea opened up their latest branch in Cheras - see people waiting in line. Soon, i have to endure tons of periodic Star Wars fans.


When passion and love is replaced with greed - Im heading out from this planet - folks.

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 ...
