The Martian

being forced to do social distancing is a blessing too......i able to observe so many funny circus acts - by the citizens and of course the by the new government ministers. With the PM announced that "a relaxed MCO" begin tomorrow ( surprising everyone ) in order to kickstart the economy - we questioned why on earth they asked us to stay at home until May 12th at the first place?

The nation still register 3 digit COVID new cases and kickstart the economy due to losing billions? 

Fine, open your shopping mall......who the hell coming and to buy your stuffs?

Fine, open your shops.....who wants to dine?

Guess the ones who are paid full salary last 2 months now getting itchy and wants to start spending for Raya. Business owners getting impatient seeing their cash registers collecting dust instead of Ringgit....

again like the moratorium bank issue -  people will be left hanging - confused as ever. I pity the front-liners Armed Forces and the Police who unfortunately will be scrambling like shit tomorrow. But again - this time my article focus on this fler......



Azhar Ali.


Malaysian or formerly known as Citizen Scientist

Thursday, 30 April, announced on his Twitter account about receiving a scholarship from NASA.

WOW.

He entered NASA challenge and won a scholarship from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration from the United States. Shared several screenshots exclaiming in disbelief that he scored in the top 1 percent of over 3 million participants of a "2020 NASA Artemis Challenge".


Based on his score of "96.77 percent", he received an e-mail from one Rene A Holland of NASA, offering him a scholarship in affiliation with the National University of Singapore (NUS).

A new Einstein. 

A genius.

Maybe this fler able to help the minister to help to materialize our first national flying car. 

former TUN's expression said everything

Fly to Mars.

Everyone congratulated him. Even the PM and the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation and the Tik Tok Minister. 



national news.

Then he shut down his Twitter. 



reactivated his account saying he was a victim of a scam.






And yes having a profile photo wearing a turtleneck helps too.

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 ...
