Setiap Sekarang : Flow

went up to Penang to check out a new project with Hasnul. Apparently he got a mural commission from a local developer to design and paint a school mural, however they bailed out in the very last minute. We decided to go thru with this as this project have limitless potential in terms of making others happy.

Its annoying when people dont deliver their promises.

The project will be titled as Setiap Sekarang. ( Every Present Moment )

What is hilarious is my cuzzie is an Uber driver, so i decide to engage his service to send me to the airport, my flight is at 6:45am and i woke up at 6:45am!!! What makes it hillarious is - My cousin arrived 1 hour earlier in my apartment and he didnt called me as he doesnt have my number ( as he just rebooted his "smart" phone ) He even called his mum to ask my number.

so i missed my flight, buy him breakfast and ended up in Penang in the afternoon.


My schedule was pretty amazing when i set foot in the island. We set off getting the stuffs for the mural, off to the wonderful Sedim waterfall, have my stomach stuffed with excellent food  and worked our ass off - oh yea finally i decided to batik-ed Yoda at Rozana's Batik. If any of you guys want to try it - click on this link below. The owner is Hasnul's wife, beautiful yet humble surrounding fueled with excellent tracks courtesy of Lite FM.

who needs a Jacuzzi when nature provides us one.

when we are enveloped with the gorgeous nature, we forgot the concept of time, I didnt aware that Hasnul is playing guest for an informal talk later at night. The guest waiting for us.

clear your mind out of questions.

Plus Hasnul's cats never fail to entertain me too...

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 ...
