The APF Meeting was just concluded this evening.
There were some good moments like when Prof. Andrea (one of the eminent jurists) commended my article that came out in the NST or when I was invited to join the brainstorming session with Vanessa (Assistant to John Ruggie) and Greg of APF. That was nice. “I’m just [...]

Workshop on Addressing Racism
Posted in beautiful souls, tagged uni students on July 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I loved this weekend a lot.
And I cried a bit too.
This was all due to a bunch of funny crazy fresh young people that attended the workshop on addressing racism of which I was one of the facilitators. I had left campus for quiet some time and the last time I went to [...]
What I think of UMNO-PAS Muzakarah…
Posted in politics of politics., tagged pas-umno on July 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Muzakarah, if I may translate it into a more workable word means holding a discussion. But its not a simple academic or intellectual discussion. Muzakarah aims to reconcile and to understand both sides of the parties better. It is suppose to be an honest and open heart to heart talk with no hidden agenda or [...]

RPK is up to the mark again when it comes to bringing suspense and suprise to the journalism plate. Clap! Clap! How I love juicy tales!
But ehem! This is not about getting to the delicious bit of the latest attempt to shame and bring DSAI down. It is about exposing the truth no matter what. [...]

Rodents are having an orgy in my small home. Damn. They have been having a blast eating my food and waking me up at night with their unplugged concerts and chorals.
I don’t have anything against this species and those who read my posting here, will realize that I even “name” the two mice that [...]
My article in the papers!

My first article representing my organization (re: I wrote many articles but as “a mysterious anonymous writer” or “The Guy That Sees Red), was out in NST last Friday.
The Malaysian Bar had reproduced the article with permission, here. Oookay, its a long way to go before my music reviews find its way into ‘Filter” or [...]
I Miss Gazing the Sky

This week I literally feel like drowning in a huge bottomless pit filled with mud and poisonous snake. Pinch myself several times as a form of reality checking strategy and discovered that I am still drowned. Damn. As the momentum of my workload gets undesirably heavy, I beginning to picture myself opting for another job [...]

Question: What do we do when we cannot afford petrol anymore?
Answer: Don’t hang the DJ*, but just hang our car.
Literally.
This guy go all the way to show how upset he is with the recent oil price hike. Funny, unconventional plus very, very insightful.
This is taken from ‘Panic’- The Smiths.
I want people to be happy but what about me?

DSAI was arrested this afternoon. So, it is expected that Hang Tuah will be crowded by fans, supporters or stalkers. But rather than turning this post into another dedication page for him, I would like to share a conversation I had with my co-trainer after our workshop in Gombak. Its my blog so if u [...]
