oh remember in May - where every living and breathing Malaysians celebrated when Pakatan won the election, citizens was so "obsessed" to help the  new govt ( "assuming" the coffers emptied by previous government ) - by donating to Pakatan Harapan.    Hmmmmph....... as usual, there are assholes proudly displaying their donation ( in the pretext of loving the nation ), again....i lurked and observe...its nice to be in the background and enjoying the circus. Fuyoooo.... fast forward - the govt announced that they will purchase new 32 new Toyota Vellfire for ministers and Honda to drive top-ranking asses from Point A to Point B. Under - performed, ministers elected seems to be wearing Harry Potter's invisible cloak, absent ministers, coupled with annoying changes in the education sector, people turning racists as ever - goodness, how on earth they could go home and sleep? and yes, we dont have flying cars, its nice knowing Elon Musk doing crazy ...

Its interesting the 80's made a huge comeback and is revengeful. TV shows such as Stranger Things mined romanticism and the analogue years like mad, even Wonder Woman sequel is set in 1984, Eddie Murphy came back with a bang with an excellent homage in Call Me Dolemite and yes Ghostbusters finally moved on to a deserving sequel. while the world peppered with periodical disease like toxic masculinity,the ever recycled strong woman independent movement, confessional Me Too movement, Greta Thurnberg, Trump and not forgetting our silly non performing elected politicians, i simply shun it off and get myself a Dave Slater's 1989 excellent Batmobile. Batman turned 80 this year, so everyone jump into the bandwagon, celebrate the Dark Knight - ironically with an excellent rendition of the Joker. Caltex offered cheap plastic Batmobiles every 2 weeks and Lego decided to release the 1989 Batmobile based on the design of Dave Slater. Hello Dave - his MOC got all the right sweet c...

the general public like to assume shitty judgemental reasons and justifications. Now lets talk about being drunk. Being drunk - means you cant think straight, intoxicated and under the influence of something. what is worst is - people who are drunk but didnt take any drugs or alcohol. example? rushing to work, drive like a madman, punching in and doing nothing.

lets go back thousand of years back - where we have a place where its filled with thousand of swami's ( monks ), religious dogmatic principle ruled the day, where logic and questions is not entertained and welcome, the universe grant us a man - who defied, challenge, questioned everything, the one who found a question where no one could answer " how to defeat old age, sickness and ultimately death" the vicious cycle - where we need to face until our debt is finished once and for all. Imagine going to high school back, facing all the miserable tests, teachers, the unfortunate adults, get sick, hospitalized and repeat.  how many times we have to face this? The origin of suffering is all due to craving, desire and wanting the things we dont have. The limits of our heart is boundless and doesnt have limits. People simply want more. People thought they are spiritual, but lo and behold they are tied to their ego, their worldly materials, love to see others compl...

I guess by now, everyone knows what the hell is Star Wars. Everyone now have at least knows how does R2D2 looks like. Planet Disney who made a B Character Iron Man unto a A List hero knows how to make everyone go and buy a stupid Star Wars character named Zuvio. who the fuck is Zuvio? I dont know until i saw the toy and i asked, when and where the hell this character appear in the first place. You see - a "true blue" Star Wars fanboy will know who's who appeared on the screen even though they only appeared for couple of seconds. They will produce an ever updated encyclopedia of backstory whatever they can imagine with. The fans will buy it. That is how Lucasfilm bankrolled their 6 films from Episode 1 ( The Phantom Menace ) to Episode 6 ( The Return of the Jedi ), by licensing and merchandising. From books to underwears to pencils to everything ( you name it ). 20th Century Fox will get their share by distributing it. The rest belongs to George Lucas.  Mind ...

i have to confess, at times i always avoid or didnt attend any art exhibition. Truth to be told and honestly, everything is subjective. Everyone have their own taste - i cant and dont want to argue about this. But in the social media, where illogical concepts ruled the day, we virtually surrounded by unbelievable amateur acrobats, not so funny clowns as everyone likes to pretend, behave or to be whatever they are not. You simply have to retreat unto a corner and start asking "who is the real crazy here" People who studied, practiced their craft for years and years to be good at what they are doing is now taken over - literally replaced by idiots who posted shit, amateurish effort - the public simply dont want to be awed anymore, they want a sense of familiarity, they want something they can relate to. That is why when someone who works in a corporate, decided to be an artist in instagram, posted simplistic brainless doodles mistakenly named as ART - followed by likes by...

Maurizio Cattelan’s banana sold for $120 grand and here in my country, we have a former TV host turned entrepreneur going bananas after a medical doctor questioned her product benefits. dont get me wrong - but when a medical doctor asking something, its better for you to come up with a sensible, fact based answers to justify and defend your product plus the public is going to consume it. Hell - after i see this ad, I spend couple of minutes to translate the copy in English.  rich with multiple vitamins, dietary fibers, minerals and proteins esp potassium - well of course, you put bananas in it.     next time - just do a breakdown list of the vitamins eh. how rich is rich? includes fibers to help flush out toxins interesting what sort of toxins? rich with calcium and protein to strengten your bones and muscles. fuyoooo!! minimize obesity. wow - this is the first time obesity can be minimized.  again - how? help to regu...

sometimes its not about showing off your massive collections, be it in your art collection, books and or whatever. For me, finding solace from reality and general public is my own curated collections of books, films and yes toys. These three categories able to supply me a comfort zone, an avenue to escape from all those weird shit asses out there. Talking about collecting and the collectors, it can be funny or painstakingly a bloody chore, everyone have their own preferences, so at times, it's better to agree to disagree or simply listen to their whimsical tales and what not. For years, ive been cutting down massively of my collection, editing, donate and worst few thrown away - as i realized that i dont need alot of shit. At times, you questioned yourself why on earth i bought these at the first place. When these sort of questions raised, you know something needed to be done. No doubt im a fan of Star Wars, but recently after Lucasfilm been purchased by Disney, the Mickey Mo...

this year alone, it seems everywhere we have toy fest or collector's fest. These fest features people renting tables and sell their unwanted stuffs. Is that an enterprising spirit? Well i dont think so. Its like doing spring cleaning your house, rather than donating it away, lets try your luck - see if anyone buys it. Now if the condition is good, at least moderate - im okay with it, but most of the flea market, toy fest and collector's fest - its filled with junks. Garbage priced exorbitantly high until you questioned it's existence. A real collector who people who shared similar hobbies will help each other out, giving away nice deals - most importantly making it valuable. As we can see, SUPREME, a brand that came out from nowhere sprang out, thumbing its way unto consciousness by bringing extremely limited items, making the value higher in the secondary market, im fine with it - justifiable. But with garbage, tin signs from a bankrupt, closed shops? Run of the mill, ...
