finally got my hands on Ghost busters firehouse HQ from Lepin.  Lets start with the CON aspects first - The biggest nuisance is the Chinese don't number the packs, so sorting the bricks is a total bitch. My nephew Ryan chipped in to help. I gave up on the third day after found out i placed a different brick ( which require me to dismantle a huge part to correct it )......... retailed at RM460, the price is a fraction from the original which is RM1800 - hell the original Lego Ecto 1 itself costs around RM300 now. So add another RM160, i get the iconic firehouse. Didn't take tons of pic, but it contains tons of play-ability aspect.   China flooded the market with these as they dont pay off licensing fees and what not. Now the Pros is that all these rip-off's making it affordable.

Confession Notes No 32 - the best part about community service is laughter, fun and a honest hug you get after finishing a mission. That is why my friends, i always avoid people who are emotionally stunted, who is not emotive, cold and heartless. ( even a cold dead body have more emotions ) I always find it hard to digest when people simply dont have any sense of appreciation but have tons of self entitlement issues, avoiding hugs yet asking people to press the "like" button in the social media. The ones who simply dont utter a word of encouragement but full of critical rubbish...oi cmon man.... That is why my friends, i prefer to feed the dogs, at least seeing them wagging their tails and licking you after a meal - as a gesture of appreciation simply warm my heart - we have lost the quality of saying hello, how have you been and saying thank you..... That is why my friends, they just dont move when they listened to Wagner, have their hearts scream in joy list...

Flashback last year, after we wrap H3R0: Epilog, we lounged in the living hall, i saw a framed quranic verse hanged on the door - i asked Hasnul, yo bro, what does it mean? I got goosebumps when he translate for me. It means that death is certain for the living. Here me listening to Hasnul's mum ( a.k.a Wonder Woman ) - she told us when she was young, her mum told her that there will be "rumah atas rumah".One sign indicating the coming of apocalypse. Ok - she is 85 years old now, if she is young means that will in the early 1920's or 30's. People back then lived in a single storey houses. Its like those French farmers who grew up with potatoes and donkeys - will go nuts when they saw the Eiffel tower for the first time. Rumah atas rumah ( house on top of house ), meaning it can be 1. double storey houses 2. apartments Cool eh....

apparently people voice out about Brexit ( due to excessive immigrant issues ), remember that we also voice out when "someone" wants to bring in 1.5 million Bangladeshi worker here? So before you voice out - kindly reflect first la before you speak ok.....you swinging bowl.... Attached is my animation entitled The Conversation - lets reflect shall we.....

its going to be another 2 more weeks to Aidilfitri.....hope the light will shine upon all of you. May you guys are blessed and experience the lailatul qadar and yes...be good to yourself.

Q - what is an Elevator Pitch? A - the lift takes only minutes taking you from a floor to another. So imagine you in the lift with a producer, director ( or anyone ), if you want them to direct/produce your story - remember to explain it in the most simplest, minimal and engaging way. Sounds easy? NOPE. Q - Give me an example....please? A - 2 astroNUTS got separated in space, got united in a rave party, got united - blow off the roof and leave.We use the song by Kygo - STOLE THE SHOW.Literal but make it interesting, i'll fund or direct it. Ding ( the producer/director leaves - giving the person his/her namecard ) Below is an example in the minds of a director ( coz he is a visual based person - writer thinks in words ) - end of the day - visual is KING!!! A - got it?not 5 thousand words, mindless babble ( of how good you are - how you want to change the industry or etc ), simple, methodical, specific and a pinch of luck.  disclaimer - i was introduced to the Elevato...

Southeast Asia Tradition Notes No 39 - Sacred Fruits Q -Why Coconut and Banana? A - These are the only two fruits in this world which are considered to be “Sacred fruits”. All other fruits are tainted fruits (partially eaten fruits). For example, the apple tree grows from the seed of another eaten fruit and that fruit is treated as tainted. In the case of coconut and banana, the shell or the sleeves is not used for anything. To grow a coconut tree, you have to sow the entire coconut itself and Banana tree grows with the sampling. This is the reason why Coconut and Banana has an important place in all religious activities. photo stolen from google image and this is our modern tradition.... click here if you want to know more Kain Sarung Objects Immaterial Values Humility The Arrival and Symbolism

I still love this - never fail to make me laugh, shaking my head, first and foremost, the talents ( including the astronuts ), and the crews behind this are my degree film students ( who already graduated - thank god ).We shot this in 2 days - everything is planned well ahead ( as i stressed on doing pre-production all the time ). Anyway this story was developed based on my annoyance getting all those automated generated - female reply machine answers deployed by any service related companies. Have fun watching this.....and yes please press the "like" button for further assistance.Dedicated to all the nation's heroes who dedicated their life in serving their outmost best to the country. This is one of those last "talkies" films  before i decided to go all out unto producing "silent" films.

Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here - The Architect ( Matrix Revolution ) Transcend The Arabesque The Haga Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey The Kala Chakra Andreas Cellarius:Ptolemaic System, from 'The Celestial Atlas, or The Harmony of the Universe', 1660-61

EXT  both males, late 30's in a coffee shop, extremely humid conditions.   F - how is your day? A - Good, got stuck in the Fed Highway for hours... F - at this hour? A - everything was smooth, then traffic got unto a stand-still, thought it must be an accident... F- let me check the news, guess what an ostrich got scot free... A - get out of here.. F - look  cut to insert song about running here cut to  insert sfx of plates, people chewing The End

it cant be dissected, represented by words, discussions or intellectualized. Period. sub·lime adjective adjective: sublime ; comparative adjective: sublimer ; superlative adjective: sublimest 1 . of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe. sublimity - how it can be expressed, presented to someone else? The problem about academics, symposiums and whatever conventions is - speakers kept presenting the same "data" and "findings" making it dry, pretentious and nauseous.  Endnotes, bibliography, etc - same old repetitions of findings, framed up and presented in a different way.... Rather than reading thousands of reviews about Monet's Waterlilies - i normally suggest people experience it by standing in front of it. I avoid attending any art related symposiums as i dont need and want to listen to an "expert's" digestions, suggestions and whatever not - cmon man....artworks needed to be experienced by ...

alot of people will complaint, whine and complain again-again-again. Let us take a deep breath shall we, reflect what we have, had, achieved eh.....cmon man, dont you think it can be tiring to complaint....its pretty awesome when we can wake up being alive and well...

finally got some time to spend on categorizing, organizing my body of work, sketches, notes and other various media on behance. Its pretty cool when you can simply throw all the files - cut and copy the links to people. anyway you guys can check here : -  anderson ee - behance Documentation is a pain in the arse, but again its important and vital - so anyone can see how far someone can go( in other word its call - maturity ), few old works can make me laugh so hard - thinking how on earth you can produce this and that. Its pretty fun too. 

again, one is never enough...

a wise guru asked me " Andy - do you take FULL responsibility of all your actions, speech and act - I replied in my heart " I HAVE TOO!!! - only what you take with you". Thank you Yoda and the wise guru for giving me this beautiful reminder. drawing on canvas, 2015, personal collection Alot of people can simply say, act, write what they want in the pretext of being anonymous ( yea right ) - That is why Buddha always give us reminder to be IN THE PRESENT moment. Be Thoughtful. Mind you and trust me - the Universe is fair. What comes up - must goes down. Wahahahahahah....

Until today - alot of people are confused when they see a Chinese Peranakan speaks local lingo fluently - especially me ( with my moustache and beard, tanned skin ), ( even people will stare seeing a fair skin Chinese speaks the local lingo ) - awkward stares when i smoke during this fasting month. Mind you The Peranakans adapt to local customs/culture, they respect and learn/adapt it for centuries ( assimilation ). Most people will view Ramadhan is a period of fasting for a month, then they celebrate Aidilfitri......actually its more than that.....A very symbolical month.I simply love it, when people took effort to celebrate the first day with their loved ones.A month of wonderful period of self-sustaining ( of coz to food ), reflection and a celebration of being aware of your surroundings and control to oneself ( esp on the road ). Anyway this year's Raya/Ramadhan ad for Balai Seni Visual Negara ( BSVN ) - using Yeoh Jin Leng's painting as a starting point - its a time to...

Avicii carried Nina from legend to a goddess here. Bless you man.

im very very very selective when it comes to attending exhibitions, but its a different case when it comes to assessment ( where i dont have a choice yea - which i will explain later ). Artists will exhibit their new line of work, months of creative process, time, effort and energy invested in them. Mind you few works can leave me feel good, made me stand there - contemplating for hours, few can drained me, few i avoid like a plague. when you just want to HUG a work catharsis - a important interaction between the work and how it speaks to audiences. But most of the time, exhibitions now is attended by selective collectors, curated - designed carefully by galleries to SELL . So galleries require to spend some cash on their set-ups, finding writers to add something substantial ( academic jargon, fluffy words) to make it more believable- more exclusive. The more detached, more selective, elitist is better. Rich people is weird too - if its too expensive, they will go for it, if ...
