i joined the crew of the merdeka train party to inject some merdeka cheer in the celebration. and for a brief, but importantly very real moment, i did feel the surge of malaysian spirit in the patriotically vandalised trains.
and i can tell you the precise moment too. we were singing chan mali chan. and no matter who you are, everyone knew the words. and there was an explosion of pride. and random people came together. and there was this aunty and her friend who glowed with such happiness and cheered us on. and we laughed. and we sang tanggal 31. and negaraku. and happy birthday malaysia. and just for good measure, selamat hari jadi malaysia.
and yes for that exact moment, i can tell you with complete conviction that we were proud to be right there, on that very train, singing those very songs our forefathers taught us, on this day, in this country, for this very reason.

Malaysia XI vs Manchester United
Date: 18 July 2009 (Saturday)
Venue: Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Selangor
For a person who hardly watches football, it was a pretty interesting game. And in my opinion, the two goals Malaysia scored that evening was pretty respectable. The first one was sheer luck but because it was so sudden and perfectly executed, the stadium went absolutely mad. It was awesome! And the second goal, well we definitely earned that one, if you ask me. The MU goalkeeper slipped and fell, and in that moment, Amri decide to go for it. And that instant decision paid off! I did not see the Monday match but I think we played a respectable game on Saturday.

FACES ~ A Poster Presentation
[ I would like to thank everyone who turned up at my poster presentation at the International Conference on Thinking (ICOT) last week. I would also like to take this opportunity to dedicate my presentation to the late Michael Jackson, who passed away on the last day of the conference, and whose music milestoned my childhood. Rest in peace.]
Presentation abstract:
If a picture tells a thousand words, then a face tells a thousand stories about who we are. Stories about where we are from. Stories about what we do. Stories about our hopes, dreams and aspirations.
This collection represents South East Asian (SEA) pride. Photos represent the faces of Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), Singapore and Indonesia. From the four-year old gold medal figure ice skater, the trice jailed political dissident, to a young boy’s search for spiritual meaning, this collection demonstrates the richness of our expressions and our culture, traditional, modern and SEA in transition.
There are no technicalities in this presentation. This presentation is really a reminder that not everything can be broken up into models and theories. The presentation is a celebration of the human experience; and the human experience is not a technical one. It is aesthetic.
In an age where photography is gaining popularity as a choice hobby, this presentation serves also as a reminder that we mush not forget the story a subject tells – stories that brings a photo to life.

La dolce vita
destination: rome, italy
i actually need to thank raymond for convincing me to go to rome because it actually is one of my favourite places in europe. despite the rowdiness and the hustle and bustle, rome has character. i must have gotten lost more than ten times everyday all around the city, but that is because i keep getting distracted by some kind of quirk along almost every corner. another fountain. another statue. another roman column. another gelato stand.
