its interesting when everyone posted their #10yearchallenge. What is amazing is you get to see drastic damages done unto the environment, from lush green turned unto dead cemented greys, green landscapes turned to a commercial tomb. As what Lord Buddha mentioned - Change is impermanence, we cant stop this process. Few expanded to another level, well others goes back lower, static, frozen in time - all of this is based on our choices we made, decisions taken and challenges we faced - all of this will make or break us. One thing i found out - changing our-self is harder than changing the world.   when you detach from the familiar, the process can be scary and liberating. Your "weltaanchaung" / perspectives turrned upside down. Its amazing when you got the anwers you needed based on time and maturity. The Universe will observe and evaluate your REACTION when you dont get the things you really want.  You decide what is BEST for yourself. You are the only one

Finally i got quality time to refresh, sit still and finish off my readings. Managed to watch VICE. Its brilliant and showed me the true power, the inner workings, abstract mechanisms of law in the form of Unitary Executive Power able to grant a democratically one explosive dick.  With Christian Bale, Steve Carrell and Sam Rockwell in top form - i got an informal education of how America cemented her aura of invincibility before it's thrown aside like a piece of cardboard by Trump. Batman retired and turned out to be a Republican   By all means - is Dick Cheney evil?   With his "heart condition" is placed as a central theme, hsi character can be heartless yet he is humane at times. His motivations and intentions is clear, his course of action is structured thematically and strategically placed, lining up his allies after years of being in the politics, he got luck on his side when Bush asked him to be his running mate. With the final breaking the 4th wall speech by

sometimes it can be entertaining surfing the net, especially reading righteous posts like this below. Someone got offended and as usual complaint unto the social media that MAS airlines promoting pork literally. the post turned viral, until MAS came in and apologize for their "mistake"........ here, let me translate this as the post is written in Bahasa Malaysia - for more than 30 years, this individual flew all over the world using MAS Airlines, this individual never encounter advertisements where pork is promoted blatantly, ever so clearly in their magazine entitled Going Places. What happened to MAS? are you guys insensitive or simply been forced by invisible hands .  The problem is.............. the photo shows a wagyu beef. not pork.  since when a wagyu turned to a pork?  and this individual claimed that he/she flew all over the world ?  invisible hands? well done MAS and the magazine editorial team. You successfully converted a w

these two need to work together.  these two requires one another. body and soul without a proper form, you cant function physically and do anything.  Yea sure, reading all the motivation books, the secret, knowing the energy and whatever crap you can hold unto is useless when you dont manage YOURself, your surroundings, environment and your consumption. Top time wasters and selfishness in form of PHYSICAL appared in the form of indesicive meetings, last minute crap, unbelievable expectations, assumptions of crap, not forgetting average to poor management of resources and talents. First and foremost - If you cant manage these physical interaction - by all means you are welcome to forget concentration, efforts on your spiritual level.

so illegal logging is acceptable ALL THESE YEARS since you dont get petroleum royalty? how and when can you guys STOP this beggar mentality? Excuses like oh we need more money, how much you can pay me? All these years im involved with this creative line - apart from creating, somehow i need to take up "producing" as i need to know the management of the finances.......its disheartening when people came up to me and say " no budget" "limited budget", well if you care and really dig unto the project - fork out your own bloody cash or at least come out with a reasonable / realistic budget  so the ones who throw in the cash know what is their return and their fucking investments. Seriously im tired dealing and negotiate with people who like to price their artworks or their services with ridiculous price tags ( where i couldnt decipher their price analysis and reasonings ) therefor claiming it as expensive, i have one word - please by all means kindly

This is Brahim, Brahim got a house, at times we spend weeks climbing the hills to provide him and qualified others a better house. Now the Govt wants to sue Kelantan over land rights.  Apparently all their ancestral land is gone over unscrupulous means of management, greed and more greed.    Thousand years of green is replaced with temporal materials disguised as development and valueless monetary reward.  Am i happy? Yes. It's about time. Hope you are well Brahim!!!

while all images of pigs is conspicuously missing from all Chinese New Year celebration as the animal is considered haram , there is no issue - we still move on. The beauty of Malaysia where we took in every considerate moves to accommodate others with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. This is how we develop our nation to another level, celebrate the multi-textual elements of Malaysia. With the loyal awesome dog leaving us - enter the pig for this coming Lunar New Year for the Chinese. I will make a point to watch again the seminal classic 1995 - 2 part Chinese Odyssey starring the one and only Stephen Chow. Stephen changed his direction unto re-contextualizing and a revisionist towards the old China fables and tales, thru Forbidden City Cop and Flirty Scholar. Chinese Odyssey is like a wine which turned from good to excellent as time goes by. Here, Monkey King was reborn as a human, attached to his worldly desires and soon he has to accept his destiny rather than the challenge to

Most of us experience life as an linear progression but this is an ILLUSION because everyday, LIFE presents us a CHOICE to a new PATH. To go to work or Stay at home. Each choice we take creates a NEW REALITY - Walter Bishop ( Fringe ) what do you mean by linear progression? A Place Called Home Exhibit, Balai Seni Negara, 2018 So when you make your choices - your perception changes . YOU CHOOSE. Everyday gave us a chance to be a better  person. It doesnt have to be travelling to India or end of the world to find yourself, change jobs or whatever drastic abrupt changes as you can do it within. Colin - Bandersnatch   Put it simply - this is my perception of heaven   while this my perception of what is HELL. You dont have to DIE to experience this. If you dont know what you are doing until now? You will soon.  CHOOSE wisely!

  uneducated unqualified assholes never fail to make others suffer. Here in Malaysia, uneven bumps who can make anyone land to a hospital, badly managed public roads to the extend off-road are better, potholes is rampant and unmanageable.This happens only when people are greedy- resorting unto paying monkeys to do a donkey job.  Thank god, i didn't lose my exhaust pipe in the middle of the road today.

“I read about your story on social media and I want to help,”  The couple shared with Najib the struggles they have faced - planned to send the boy to a preschool nearby.  “The fees are expensive, as much as RM480, we cannot afford it,” she said. “I am no longer a prime minister and I cannot instruct government agencies to help. “But I am an MP and earn a little from the Parliament. I know my small contribution will not be able to fully help him, but I hope what little I gave can help alleviate their suffering,”   “Umno Shah Alam will take care of everything,” he said. as long you help honestly is GOOD enough JIBBY!!

Penang Mufti Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor, in a statement, urged the local authorities to direct the developer of the housing project to change the position of the lights in the building so that they do not form the sign of a cross . from urban poverty to illiterate kids, poor struggling parents putting food on the table - we have this issue?

“History is an art of valuable doctrine, numerous in advantages and honourable in purpose; it informs us about bygone nations in the context of their habits, the prophets in the context of their lives and kings in the context of their states and politics, so those who seek the guidance of the past in either worldly or religious matters may have that advantage.” -Ibn Khaldun and the Philosophy of History | Issue 50 cut to  Leiden University Libraries (UBL) recently acquired a major collection of 19th-century photographs on South East Asia. The collection comprises more than 3,700 photographs of the Netherlands East Indies and mainland South East Asia , including Singapore, Myanmar, Penang and Malacca. The photographs are an important addition to UBL’s collection of colonial photographs.

for the past 3 and half years, I've been helping a humanitarian body called INSAF. Why? one of their missions is providing a decent house, solar and toilet for qualified orang asal. The most basic in the Maslow hierarchy. By all means, missions made me reflect deeply and aghast at their living conditions. 7 people in a cramp space, lack of food and electricity - no wonder the kids dropped out from school and resort unto something that is more practical - filling their hungry stomachs.     question - who can study when you have empty stomach?  The ones who went to school requires tremendous grit and courage. Of coz after the Orang Asal got their house, i realized that i need to find out something bigger yet practical structure and i cant work alone. It requires the whole society to ensure that everyone can at least have a comfortable roof on top of their house, full stomach and deep sleep, comforted by security - in the form of sustainable job that able to feed them, th

Lazada offering all this kids to all single ladies for CNY. As we know, all singles will be bombarded with " why you are still single?" questions. When i took some time to review their profiles - their hobbies range from Workout, Anime and Play Dota2 and more workout . I cant find the one who "reads and write". I guess pumping muscles is easeier than pumping brains. So with all the hair make-overs, fair and lovely skins - they will spend more time in the mirror, protein shake than you ladies. So to all singles, kindly get a cat or a dog.

a position where the decision made must be satisfactory to all parties. subject to criticism, flattery and whatsoever and affect the many.

imagine a country that runs away from another, trying to establish her independence - yet at the same time - have no resources and relies on opportunistic tendencies, manipulations and other means of surviving.   a tree without roots. confused? welcome to the land of bubble tea, capitalism, adoption of other cultures and resources as their own and celebrate it.

  It was a 34-year-old car that was given by me to his father in Kuala Lumpur.” He quipped that the car did not break down and that it was a “good endorsement” for Proton. “Thirty-four and still functioning after 22,000km,” - Tun Mahathir.   Tun is 93 year old and leading our coutry!!!            

thank you Sultan Muhammad V for your humility and humor, its a breath of fresh air. The Sultan abdicated his Agung post, at the same time cemented himself unto history by welcoming the new government on May 9th. In one of the parliamentary session, former ruling government now turned Opposition walked off as a protest leaving KJ alone...... now he turned to a podcaster my stomach hurts - laughing so hard and fellow Malaysians took their golden opportunities posting priceless memes.  Then the Sultan/ Agung gave his knockout punch in the next parliament session by reminding the sore losers ( oppositions ) DUDUK......JANGAN LARI. Epic!!!!   

im happy when i see this pic, the Johor King personally drove Tun The Man to the airport. Not with million bucks Range Rover, Rolls Royce White Ghost, a V8 or any turbo powered sushi or other Continental brand.....the Johor King used the legendary Proton Saga. Tun launched Proton way back in 1985 - our first national car. all the many angsty emotional posts doused away - Dissipated unto thin air, replaced with happy posts.......and this is super awesome!!!!

so all petrol kiosk owners complaining and asking subsidies from the ruling goverment to cushion their loss. and.......oh WOW......they called themselves businessman? Entrepreneur? Elon Musk and even the silly Donald Trump got themselves unto bankruptcy with their ventures.  when Pablo Escobar dont want to be extradited, he experienced heavy losses too ok and negotiate with the government to build a prison to jail himself. a business that continue to generate profits all the time? that is not business.  goodness - we even experience loss when we play MONOPOLY ok.
