was offline for the past 3 days, shut off my phone and most importantly my mind.I'm in Langkawi for screening/performance of H3R0
Q- Anyway what is H3R0?
A - an outdoor screening of 2 short films ( independently funded ) and 3 live song performance and a short lecture based on my friend's ( Hasnul Jamal Saidon ) parents. The narrative is based entirely on his honest to goodness blog writing about his dad. His dad passed away after we completed the first film back in late 2014. It strikes us hard.
Few years back we decided that rather than showing/setting it up in a a gallery, we decided to screen it ourselves, going beyond the conventional walls and reach out to the people.
Every tour venue had their own specialty and separate experience. This time H3R0 landed in a lovely place named Barakat Chalet ( run by a lovely humble couple named Shake ( Abang Rashid ) and his wife ( Kak Bara ). Hasnul did informed me several times about this place and told me its a brilliant place.
So this time, i tagged along.The experience is priceless.
the stage - facing the sea and sunrise. The stage eventually became my unofficial bedroom.
the show
H3R0 screening was complemented by a group of traditional musicians.
this trip was complemented by Yuzai and Delly ( who digs photography )
Furry Kids.
Ok, what makes this trip brilliant is that Kak Bara and Shake ( Abg Rashid ) have awesome dogs (chickens as an alarm clock to wake you up and ducks to entertain you ) to patrol their humble yet 10 star chalet 24/7. I spend too much time playing with them, eventually got attached with Nemo and Mafia.These rascals are a joy to be with.
Nemo -photo by Yuzai, he knows that he is cute.
the eldest among all - Manja by Delly
the youngest, named Mafia - the hyperactive one. I love this guy as he practically chased the chickens and the ducks all the time.
Manja waving us goodbye.
The sublime.
We trek up to a place called Bukit Gondol, the hill was cleared to plant a new batch of rubber trees. What is wonderful is, this hill offered us a magnificent masterpiece- making me feel dumb, useless and pathetic. We spent 2 hours there - again amplify that i dont need to see an inferior copy of a landscape painting. The universe gave us 365 versions of sunsets and sunrise for us to savor.

Its amazing seeing how this humble project had traveled so far.

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
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 (/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
