Memories. Travelling. I draw inspiration from the beaches, the sea. I inhale the urban ambience of the slums. No white walls there, merely the colours of life. These locations are vibrant splash of red, blue, yellow, black, brown and green. I’m no stranger to new lands, and I avoid commercialised places at all cost. Why deposit yourself in a fine-dining restaurant when you can sit at a street stall and sample the food, or cheap, dodgy bars, and embrace the[...]
Last year, I met this young man from Borneo – Benny specializes in tattoos, not merely a job for him, he loves crafting his art. A master, extremely talented and skillful with his creativity and hands. I visited him a second time in February this year, after an 8-month absence, to get another tattoo. Something I wanted him to do. Two tattoos from Benny. I plan for the third, soon I hope. Benny, Thumbs-up AnarchyThe meltdown of emotions. The dysfunctional[...]
Mighty majestic trees are wondrous creations. I love the trees, towering to the heavens, living for a few hundred years. Yet besides the poverty in Kuala Lumpur, Mother Earth is ignored in the consuming corporate rat-race to build the tallest tower, biggest building and eventually being moronic in the process. Undeniably Kuala Lumpur is far more organised than Bangkok or Manila, however it lacks the zeal of appreciation to life, and the city dwellers care not of Mother Earth. c [...]
Kuala Lumpur. There’s a rising phenomenon for tourists and locals alike to visit the commercial centre of the city, mainly to submerge in the shopping mania. I don’t fully understand why people would want to shop in this part of town, with the high prices and irritating traffic clogging the roads. Unless of course one is looking at an opportunity to rub shoulders with the ultra elite of Malaysian society. You can find small pockets of traditional homes and privacy[...]
Two boys taking a break Legs feeling tired, but eagerly waiting for the LRT to arrive. LRT is the cheapest mode of transport (though limited access) around some parts of Kuala Lumpur. Can’t trust the taxi drivers who are infamously known for not using the meter and taking their customers around the city » basically a murderous rip-off. Two boys, as tired as me, chatting on the floor. I noticed that Thailand extensively promotes their “Amazing Thailand” in Malaysia ~[...]
Travelling across Malaysia’s capital – Kuala Lumpur. Invigorating walk. An old mosque, Masjid Jamek, stood unsteadily near a river, surrounded by buildings and the annoying honks of the never-ending traffic. A handful of street vendors selling fruits and cooling drinks, partly hiding in the shades away from the blistering sun. And my travels take me further… AnarchyThe meltdown of emotions.

The walk in Kuala Lumpur was not that bad, though the humidity was always a problem *grumble* I passed by a dozen ugly-looking colorful trees, a complete mockery to Mother Nature. The trees are made from wire, plastic, steel, bulbs and an odd-assortment of man-made contraction. Check out the sign board, not an encouraging thought ~ being electrocuted by a tree in Malaysia.

An amusing food for thought. The sign was placed at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. The food was tasty, yet looking at the wall brought a smile to my face. AnarchyThe meltdown of emotions.

เห็น Why CISPA Sucks พูดถึงเรื่อง #CISPA เลยตามไปเก็บรายละเอียดมาสรุปไว้ เนื่องจากได้ทวิตออกไป เลยขอเอาข้อความที่ทวิตไว้ มารวมไว้ ณ ที่นี้แทน เรื่อง #CISPA เป็นเรื่องที่เกี่ยวพันกับชีวิตเรา แบบเดียวกับที่ชาวเน็ตต่อต้าน #PIPA #SOPA มาแล้ว #CISPA เป็นชื่อย่อของกฏหมาย ที่มีชื่อเต็มเก๋สุดๆ ว่า Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (อ่านเพิ่มเติมได้ที่วิกิพีเดีย) In short CISPA would allow companies to spy on Internet users and collect & share this data with third-party companies or Govt agencies. ก็คือ มันเป็นการให้สิทธิผู้ให้บริการ ช่วยเก็บข้อมูลของผู้ใช้บริการแล้วส่งต่อให้กับบริษัท 3rd party หรือ ส่งต่อให้รัฐบาลหรือหน่วยงานรัฐ โดยอ้างเหตุผลว่า จะต้องมีการ spy user เพื่อป้องกันเรื่อง cybersecurity หรือไม่ก็เพื่อความมั่นคงแห่งรัฐ และ เพื่อศีลธรรมอันดีของประชาชน #CISPA นั่นละเมิดต่อ user มากกว่ากฏหมายด้านลิขสิทธิ์อย่าง #SOPA #PIPA เยอะ บริษัทที่สนับสนุน[...]

For the past one week, I have been thinking about my future, in a strikingly unconventional manner. My current income-less profession is at an end in my country, and I am almost on the verge of laying waste to my plans for local employment in social work. Many times I tell people that my profession is somewhat extinct, and social workers (cum natural-disaster relief workers) like myself are fossilized or in “the process” of being a pitiful relic ~ on a good[...]
In 2009, I traveled to Bangalore and Mysore. Spent a week in the sprawling provincial capital, absorbed the sights and sounds of the elites and the poor. I traveled into the maze-like networks of back lanes and confusing alleys; my outreach led me to the slums. Then I spent time in Mysore, a dusty and hot city. The long journey from Bangalore to Mysore was bearable as I was on an adrenaline-rush. I have tried to subdue this wader-lust, but with little success. Ah,[...]
