A Decade

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 ...

Vice

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 conv...

Physical = Spritual

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.

Clowning Around

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 ...

In All Matter of Fairness

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!!!

Of Pigs and Men

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...
