dividing my time between my NGO gigs,guest lectures and various consultation projects, finally i able to slot in, design time to continue my Yoda project. For years, i wanted an actual life-scale of him to be with rest of my Star Wars collection.I've been hunting around, looking for the existing ones, but the price just put me way off. So, rather than buying, might as well CREATE one. my two Jedi Master. Most of the time, my mum wonders what the hell im doing, so i need to publish it here. Im dedicating this project to my late awesome dad - who once inspired me coz he scratch build a Captain America shield for me. He practically can create magic out from nothing seriously. And that is magical. osem giler.... Its a meditative approach, for hours - i can shut off my mind, go off the grid, complete being alone and in the zone doing this, and mind you its therapeutic.It can be my healing process after losing my dad. Let's start off with the head-sculpt. Luckily, a compa...

In Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces, every hero requires to go to a journey which its path is formulaic. Put it simply a HERO heeds to a call for an adventure, having a supernatural aide or mentor, initiation by trials and adventures, victory, and return. Joseph Campbell So let me introduce heroes named Elise, Silas, Aiman, Andrea and Sabrina. They are heroes on a journey and will be going unto one after this exhibition. Their journey - finding their voice aided by various mentors, their trials by fires and adventures of finding their identity through paints, brushes, canvas, grades, CGPA and most importantly reached to a stage – where they have to exhibit all of this – in this exhibition. The Journey Their unknown journey took 3 years, just like Frodo and the Fellowship, they need to complete tasks semester by semester. This is their final semester and they required to organize, manage, setting up, display their works, publish a catalog, dealing w...

"I don't use my HEAD to fly the arrow boy, I use my HEART..."  # yondu "Yondu didn't have a talking car but he did have a flying arrow. He didn't have the beautiful voice of an angel but he did have the whistle of one. Both Yondu and David Hasselhoff went on kick-ass adventures and hooked up with hot women and fought robots. I guess David Hasselhoff did kind of end up being my dad after all, and it was you, Yondu. I had a pretty cool dad."

ACT ion ( anything that you DO , SAY ) reflects WHO YOU ARE.

Money is simply a concept. Printed out of paper, colorful graphics and its VALUE is set conceptually. The problem is people kept on saving and yet - they cant get rich. Why? Because due to another concept called INFLATION. all these are placed unto conceptually level yet ( WE/ MORTALS ) people can argue, go unto conflict, disagreements,not talking to each other worst kill each other and such. Funny right? See below - what is the difference?

travelling non stop - being on the road in this weather can take a huge toll on anyone. Punishing. I guess the weather had gone bonkers, its humid and i guess even camels will go and search the nearest well and dip their head to sleep. so i decided to check the local weather forecast http://www.accuweather.com/en/my/kuala-lumpur/233776/weather-forecast/233776 and guess what - its scorching hot and yet we more shopping complexes and hotels expanded, more and more constructed - with these sort of developments, imagine theirs and offices air conditioning units goes non stop plus more individuals getting and purchasing air conditioning units - with more cars - the weather shows her grumpy side.  its simple - bad weather = bad environment = we get more crazy people. So my dearest universe, please spare us some mercy. Its been awhile i woke up seeing damp roads, clear air to breathe which will make me get my comforter and sleep the day away.  If you have...

Material values which at times we label it as "duniawi" never last - which is money, possessions and other material means. Its pretty weird observing people spend so much time and effort to get the materials. Time is simply a concept which we can never buy or get it back. Imagine all those hours we spend trapped in the traffic gridlock, surfing FB - those hours we lost. Does the result we obtained worth it? Im not saying this material aspect is not good but in fact it's necessary. Money is not evil - but the main culprit is DESIRE. Desire can go unto many ways, mold us and influence how we live our lives. Desire is limitless. It goes on and on and on...... So how to minimize it? When you start identifying it, then you can move on the next important issue which is happiness. What makes us happy and and yes be contented? Are we happy and satisfied NOW? If you are not - by all means go and do whatever it takes to make you happy. happiness doesnt have any quanti...

Marvel did so many right decisions which turned them from nowhere to a world conquering money machine. They practically slapped us off from the seat by getting an outcast, putting in RDJ unto the suit and Jon Favreau serves us a reminder that they are off to something good. Heart Iron Man did so much good by giving us so much heart in the first Iron Man, when Tony found out Yinsen sacrificed himself to help him escape, Tony go berserk in the cave, slapping every one off who stands in his way. Every frame of Iron Man is cultivated carefully even though they started out without any shooting script. Just like how Sam Raimi gave us an excellent roller-coaster ride in his Tobey Mcguire powered Spider-Man 2, the sequel which contains so many classic set -pieces. The sequel showed us the ever vulnerable heartbroken Peter, who needs to save New York. The other Peter Marvel continued her gigantic steps and with so many unknown directors under her spell. The most surprising ones are ...

Oi Andy, you kat mana? i have no chance to reply my text messages. What the hell i'm doing? deep in the jungle where there is no phone communication, as few of my closest pals know that i'm involved with INSAF's logistic management. what is logistic management? Try drive a 1990 registered manual Pajero for hours blistering heat, rain and mist and the unpredictable attitude of the orang asal. Inside the heroic Pajero - 2 capable craftsman and equipment/tools. requirement is simple - think on the feet, eat just to fill the stomach and solve the problem as soon as possible. INSAF already build 70 + houses for the Orang Asal.  Most people said that we are insane, maybe we are. at times, i have to configure how to explain to people who asked me this magical question. So this time, i need to write it, so rather than repeating it orally. If you dont believe angels exists....i challenge you again.    There universe will set, conspire us to do something un...
