the observatory

also " Sacrifice Feast ",  considered as the holier of the two. It honors the willingness of  Ibrahim (Abraham)  to sacrifice his one and only son, as an act of obedience to  God 's command. Before he sacrificed his son God intervened by sending his angel  Jibra'il (Gabriel) , who then put a sheep in his son's place. (  The son is not named in the Quran, but Muslims believe it to be  Ishmael , though it is mentioned as  Isaac  in the  Bible .) keyword - total surrender, faith, test, challenge

 as what Yoda mentioned this to Luke " Do or Do Not" there is no TRY.

In the coming Aug 22nd - we'll be in the Hungry Ghost Festival, it will end on Sept 22nd. The hell's gate will be opened, so restless spirits will be roaming around. You will see most Taoist Chinese will burn prayer papers, paper money and do offerings for these poor souls ok.  Certain places will organize a huge prayers. Most of them are community driven.  Just think it like feeding the homeless. I need to do these posts as once im a freaking ignorant Chinese who doesnt give any hoot about this cultural significance. So most of the time, i will be labelled as OCBC ( orang cina bukan cina ). Dont get confused with another festival which is Qing Ming, or also known as Cheng Beng prayers. The Qing Ming prayers is where all the family members will come back, clean up their grandparents grave. This action is to pay respect to your lineage and know where you coming from. Im from the peranakan family and we will call it "chu sian"  ( ancestor ) prayers. We wil...

so we are hosting the SEA Games ( Southeast Asia ) and someone did a mistake in our official catalog publication where they mis-aligned The Indonesian flag....this is not an isolated country like Sokovia. Its our dear neighbor. Indonesia guess the agency who handle this account need to offer discounts to the Ministry of Sports. it supposed to look like this so as usual, a twit about this - the Internet caught fire, now we have Indonesian hackers hacking and de-facing our websites. In 2013 - we have Bangladeshi entering the hacking game as Malaysians mis-treat their migrant workers anyway back to 2017, my pal Halimi MN posted this in his FB. Hilarious. Both flags are screwed. Cmon la......all these need alot of work, a sharp eye and good co-ordinations, where are the freaking editors? We are talking about flags here, a country's identity and it's not a small issue man!!! Anyway since im talking about our disgruntled neighbours, see below other...

Being present : means you forget the past and the future. Means you are here Now. At this present moment. "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been re named, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.” - George Orwell, 1984

31st August is the our national Independence day. The day where we broke free from anyone and call ourself a nation, standing on our very two feet. That is after we got invaded by the Portuguese, The Dutch, The Brits, then the Japs and then Brit came again. In 1957 we broke the chain. Until today, i still shiver and avoid myself when i hear any conference talking or discussing or discoursing about finding identity related areas....I dont know is there a need to find a singular, standardized form or image to show others that we are Malaysian? Anyway - fast forward - lets see how our former colonial masters re-branded themselves in the new century where they reinvent, morphed unto cultural products. In the late 1990's, South Korea planned sneaked in and turn to a global cultural giant. the universe for everybody. Talking about Mcdonalds, they are really fast when it comes to any public related national holiday. Guess its easier to consume an ice-cream than kibark...

the baby elephant syndrome, also known as the chained elephant syndrome. A person who is "conditioned" at a young age to BELIEVE that he has NO POWER to overcome limitations, real or imagined. And so he/she grows NEVER really trying to BE MORE than what he/she is.  Conditioning is important, lets see who's inside and regulate the condition  teachers, parents, elders.  This condition, regulations will influence your mental faculty.  what is worst is people making decisions for others - which i really hate. Every journey, challenge are specifically designed for us. At times, parents, elders will make judgments for the young ones due to so many issues - such as safety and what not. The good ones will let the younglings have a go at it. Like learning how to handle to cycle a bicycle. do or do not All of us will, have and need to walk the path - alone and we cant throw this to others. When we have a unhealthy condition - the young will experience this...

It's amazing to hear that certain directors shoot without a proper script, worst is they dont know how to call their shots. These sort of decisions will waste the production crew's time, resources and yes of course - money. The word pre-production is vital, at least spend some time on developing your shots based on the script, if you cant draw, then ask the producers put aside an amount to hire one or if you are too cheapskate - just use the stick man..... Most of the time, the "director" will say " oh....i know how to place the shots when i'm in the location"...fuh berlagak..........i got few cases when the storyboard is done, all the shots is composed opposite.....anyway i am tired on dealing with these sort of people. . Below is one of my short film entitled Never Forget. Check the sketches and the final shots.... who is the best teacher in the areas of storyboard? Comic Books.                      ...

picked up something that is not Lego related....and now puzzle goes 3d....not bad...

The Delorean is an icon and Hollywood please dont. never - ever reboot this excellent trilogy. ink on paper, 2015 so Lego came out with a Delorean under their Ideas proggramme. As usual, scalpers bought so much of the set and re-sell them at a higher price. Retail ranging around MYR250, this can go up MYR 400 in the secondary market. So people who is not a fan, starts to cash in. this eventually pissing me ( and the rest ) so much. I gave up owning one as the price sky-rocketed so high, might as well ignore it....until few companies from China came out with solid accurate lego knock offs.....so i rejoice....slowly purchasing few sets to get the bricks i wanted...which is way way cheaper than getting all the loose bricks from Bricklink... to build this moral of the story - when people start capitalizing - cashing on pop culture artefacts...you are nothing except a freaking scumbag. This is one of the reason i stop collecting Hotwheels....imagine a MYR7.50 for a basic c...

I'm a huge fan of the classic Robo.... ink on paper, 2015 ink on paper 2015 I dont understand why on earth Hollywood likes to reboot all these classic artefacts..... Plus i dig Lego too......so i took the liberty to design his well known nemesis, the bulky ED 209.... and today, someone in FB posted that a pesky company will release the classic Robo soon.... oh yeahhhh...baby!!!!!

doing good is a straight road, no left or right turns.

i always wanted a cat's lair 30 years ago....lets build one instead.
