until today, i dont know why on earth they need to put this sign in the toilets.

Nusantara : The Demon of the Night is a comic book by Firdaus Baharuddin, published by Mambang Studio and Annasis Mirror. Our Southeast Asia region especially Malaysia is full of with many local mythologies and epic stories but when HR Giger's Xenomorph makes a pit stop here, this book got my full attention. I always joked with few of my pals what if Hang Tuah stopped halfway on his quest to see Puteri Gunung Ledang to battle the reggae haired hunter Predator? It would be cool right? Firdaus's comic book somehow made my mamak joke unto a reality. like James Cameron's Aliens - The story starts with a warrior who have a regular small sweet little girl who likes to pay him a visit - Then  - all of a sudden went missing for ( almost a year )....due to this - the warrior wonder, curious what happened to her....his attention, care for this sweet kid led him to his worst nightmare. Firdaus excellent visual command engaged me to the very end ( to the very l

when we have endless supply of the natural banana leaves, someone decided to do a mimesis of a banana leaf Hermes Bag

imagine you come unto the Japanese airport, we can see signboard written in English - Welcome imagine you reached to CDG, you dont see French signboards anymore - its written in English. Language - one of the symbol of identity.  so here in an airport Kelantan in Malaysia ( mind you - where Bahasa Malaysia is a national language ) we have a bunting wishes everyone in.................ENGLISH. and broken one too. how la to form a solid national identity - when we are still in this crap!!! photo dirembat dari FB Mangala - TQ

was flipping thru a post about behind the scene of Black Panther. So there is a photo showing this someone replied in the comment section - this Hilarious! have an awesome Xmas everybody.

Andy, ensure your work is not a masturbation process!! Masturbation? This is one of those many memorable advice i got when i was uni.I got this from my faculty Dean..i figured out soon enough. When people dont understand your work, you required to explain - its a freaking tiresome and painstaking effort seriously...hell i was in the degree of visual communications. So when people dont understand what they are seeing - then something wrong with the visual.  why is there a need to explain? Its simply a frustating and meaningless act. Do we need to explain why we fall in LOVE? Why we need to sleep? Audience can come from many degrees of separation but when certain works that requires 100 pages long to explain it - then there is something wrong. This advice made me go to an extra mile and most importantly practice self criticism. Seeing it in a 360 angles. Thoughtfulness comes unto play. So most of the time - when i attend any exhibitions, i will go and READ rather than SEE

here in Melaka, we have China tourists flocking in to buy China products.

Freewill is an illusion as the universe is a huge mathematics engine, they able to re-calibrate every decisions, act you MADE.    Pre-determined actions, results are simply hypothetical ( as your MIND will play so many ridiculous SCENARIO ). So rather than wasting TIME ( which is merely a CONCEPT ) to KNOW what you DONT LIKE, might as WELL go invest every EFFORT in the areas you LOVE.  In the end of the day, its the ACT that is important

Bro have you watched the TLJ? Prologue This question takes 2 cups of teh tarik and yes occasionally sound effect in a friendly neighborhood mamak stall. We know that there are so many whiny Star Wars self confessed "fans" who are annoyed with it as all their speculations are thrown out from the window. But with 2 hours and 30 mins....i was entertained. How i wish i can remind them that they should go watch again those awful prequels....i seriously hated Attack of the Clones and nearly slept in Episode 1 rather than immersed what's in the screen. Rather than Maul and Qui Gon sabre fight - I got a senate hearing! Disney observed that Lucas didnt do anything with his property so they jumped in and purchased Lucasfilm for merely 4 billion bucks ( Fox worth 52 billion - mind you ). Why? The possibilities are endless ( insert money sound here ) and now they have Fox ( which owned Alien and Predator )....i'm salivating for a cross universe mutant breeding orgy her

building a Mark 1 out from Lego/Lepin and other assorted bricks?  ok...... still remain as my fav suit. 

we are living in a postmodern world. Most of the time - i will use the term postmodern ( see end notes ) for something i find funny, confusing or absurd. Anyway its normal as we are now living in the self absorbed individualistic world. Every modernist conventions are deconstructed ( see end notes ) and re-structured according to individual means and needs. Its like having your favorite Wan Tan Mee and Char Koey Teow cooked by a guy from Myanmar and an Indonesian taking your meal order. in other words it means chaos, colorful and whatever that baffles your mind. Its welcoming as society loves to impose traditional- structural system, signs and methodology. I'm happy seeing that Malaysia ( a tropical - Islamic country yet multi racial country ) celebrating this post-modernistic Christmas. Like this photo. This event is organized by ESA, Darth Vader now owned by Disney ( dressed by Adam John) and his new happy future Troopers.  Definition of  postmodern 1 :  of

long before Marvel Studios exist, let me introduce you Unbreakable.  There is once where when no one cares about comic book, this brilliant film was released in 2000, Bruce Willis played David Dunn ( an alternate version of Superman ).  Every shot ( tracking shots ), lighting - designed to evoke the style of comic book. In Kill Bill - Quentin Tarantino re-contextualized Superman in Kill Bill Vol 2. As you know, l’m quite keen on comic books. Especially the ones about superheroes. I find the whole mythology surrounding superheroes fascinating. Take my favorite superhero, Superman. Not a great comic book, not particularly well-drawn, but the mythology. The mythology is not only great, it’s unique…Now, a staple of the superhero mythology is, there’s the superhero and there’s the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When that character wakes up in the morning, he’s Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it

Kindly invest 3 mins or more to reflect by writing or thinking what you had done, said or act. You dont know if you can wake up esok or not.
