Humpa - doo

i took a complete break from everything - yes that includes leaving my mind behind. While resting in Melaka, my eldest brother gave me Preacher and Narcos to binge upon. While Narcos expanded to the Cali Cartel, its finale lacks a solid punch.

Preacher - in the first season, its pretty bloated, inconsistent and messy ( cant blame them as they need to start somewhere, have so much to tell to audiences - there are notable inventive scenes especially with Deblanc and Fiore battling with The Seraphim )


With only 10 episodes for season 1, they got an extra 3 episodes for season two.


In season 2 - there are ups and downs, they should just trim down Tulip's traumatic breakdown and those Eugene/Hitler Hell scenario, Jesse looking for the gun number -it just drags the momentum....The highlights in season 2 is Herr Starr.

My stomach hurts like hell everytime.


Its gold. Pure gold. Seth Rogen and company ( had so much fun ) pushing the lines, going above those speed limits and rips off those envelopes with Preacher. I suggest that people who are sensitive - just stay away from this. After all, AMC is synonymous with glorified blood, gore and zombies and Heisenberg.

god left his kingdom and is in New Orleans wearing dog suit

we are living in the age where they can get offended with everything. 

My eldest bro and me were a big fan of the graphic novels - pure crass humor, extreme dick swaying and pure violence, gore, bloods splattered through the pages courtesy of the late Steve Dillon's masterful clean fluid strokes.


I laughed so loud when Jesse was brought to meet up with the Messiah. In the graphic novel, Herr Starr found out that he is working with an organisation that wants to put literally an idiot to be savior of the world. He paid the price when Humperdoo threw his shit to him.

"I'm the messiah! Humper dumper dido!"

The fight choreography in season 2 are designed cosmetically nicer too.


With Tulip is shot dead, Jesse and Cass brought her dead body to see Jessie's grandma and his nutcase cousins.....oh man....so  Season 3 will be focusing on the Until the end of the world arc. Oh yea!!!!


seriously when i drove back - my mind wanders - how the hell they can pull this off....amazing.

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 ...
