Time is so long, Life is so short
a cramp kitchen in the slum I’m back in Malaysia. Finally. Though it feels a bit odd at times, these past three days. Going through my notes and photos of my travel, Bangkok and Narathiwat. Quite a mess, and wishing I had an assistant to help me sort out the puzzle and missing pages. An […]
Yes Bangkok is a city of contradictions and life is often brought about by extremes and radical ignorance. I’ve noticed that despite the wealth and knowledge of society, there’s very little motivation to change, that growth is a comatose element of Bangkok. Elitism has grown fat from the ignorance and fear of a complacent society, […]
Sharing my thoughts… Ever since I had left Narathiwat, I grow edgy about the violent state of affairs in that province. I spent five days in the town and rural areas, talking to the people – Muslims and Buddhists alike – about their lives, their concerns, their children and their hopes. The ordinary people, not […]

Boats, silent legacy of Narathiwat Narathiwat is not just a large town. There’s a fishing village close by to the town centre. The jetty appears to be clean but there’s a strong smell of fish and salt. Many of the fishermen are waiting under the trees and in small platforms called “pondok” – away from […]
After two days of hectic schedules and meetings, running around like a headless chicken, I decided to relax and sample some coffee treats. Blue Mountain @ Narathiwat is a nice place, soothing background music, comfortable ambiance, helpful staff and fabulous selection of coffee. The owners, a husband and wife team, are Metha and Amika.
