Happiness

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 quantitative values. Its immaterial.

Immaterial values which is goodness, thoughtfulness and other related good values cant be bought, purchased or valued - its priceless and therefore it needs to be earned in the right way. What do we bring back in the end of the day? That is my friend - is important.

p/s - to all who still finding happiness, find it now. To those who still looking for a real meaning of what is life? well stop it immediately, start living your life. Im not asking everyone to be Superman or Batman - help yourself first then only you can help or contribute to others.

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 ...
