The silent scream
3:48:00 AM
Looks familiar ?
" THE SCREAM "
circa 1893.
Bet it does rite ?
One of the world's most famous paintings of all times.
Recently stolen by armed robbers in BROAD DAYLIGHT.
* imagine dat *
D painting was a tad too morbid for me before.
But somehow ,
it speaks to me now.
Silent screaming.
Indeed.
On to another artist who piqued my interest recently ,
Britain's Damien Hirst.
He ,
who created controversy when he displayed a cow and a calf sliced in half in a glass tank of formaldehyde.
Urghh.
Kinda gross eh ?
But ,
i tink it did push d boundaries of what's considered 'art'.
" Pharmacy ".
It was this installation dat caught my eye.
Mr Hirst's intrepretation of medicine.
How we all believe
&
trust in it implicitly.
Very true.
A lil pop goss.
; P
David Beckham commissioned Damien for a potrait
as a present for his wife's 29th birthday.
Wonder how dat one turned out eh ?
Somehow i can't imagine Vicky endearing herself to an image which doesn't flatter her big nose et al.
* wicked wicked *
But
no , i'm no art connoisseur.
Gosh i can't even draw to save my life or been to a decent art gallery.
It's sumthin i'm plannin to remedy tho'.
Guess by lookin @ all these pictures ,
i'm pickin off the brains of all these talented people.
I suppose juz a lil insight into their brains.
There's juz sumthin bout art expression in all its intricacies.
An object so finite
but yet can be subjected to different interpretations.
Amazing.
I would sOo lurveeee to go to Lourve Museum in beauwwtiful Paris
&
see if what Mr Dan Brown says is true.
That d pyramid sittin rite smack in front of d museum's
really built with 666 glass panes.
Yes , d infamous satanic digits eh.
Supposedly a whim of d then-ruling President
Monsieur Francois Mitterrand.
* a lil seram kan *
Ok lah , ok lah ,
tink datz enuf indulgence for my once-a year schmansy arty farty tendencies.

Hv a GREAT weekend guys ,
nitez!
diarrhoea
4:32:00 AM
Argh !
I'm havin diarrhoea @ tis ungodly hour.
Great!
&
I'm feelin sOo hungry wit nuthin much to munch on in d office.
:<
I noe i haven't been updating all dat much eh ,
simply tis is due to d endless gallivantin around Geylang
for d past 2 weeks.
Yea ,
some quarters mite argue Geylang's much
too crowded , too congested or reeking too much of sweat
&
i completely agree wit dat.
BUT ,
seeing tis yr's d last in awhile
dat Geylang & all its idiosyncracies'
gonna b there...
I literally went bargain hunting crazy!
Uh-huh!
I never thot i'd b able to find
chic $5 handbags + $10 'fake' wallets which look like d REAL thingy.
Sumhow Geylang during Ramadhan has ALWAYS brought happy memories for me.
A certain buzz which afflicts both d young & ole.
Enthusiasm personified.
From carpets to baju kurungs ,sampings
kropok lekors , chempedak goreng
&
of cuz , how can i forget ?
The quintessential elements of a Geylang bazaar ,
BURGER RAMLY & DENDENG !
* apa lagik , kan kan ? *
; p
It makes me feel like a kid again
&
heck to whoever tinks i'm such a wuzz 4 goin 2 Geylang
5 times within d past 2 weeks.
Yes , DAT many times!
Not ashamed.
In fact, i'm proud of my heritage.
It may not always be the case previously.
But i'm proud of d progress our Malay community has made.
I see young men/women probably no more than their early 20s
peddlin their wares.
Such is their entrepreneurial spirit.
I salute em'
&
kudos for their efforts however small it mite be
cuz
u start small but tink BIG.
Eh u guys noe sumthin ,
even tho' 95's playin in d background rite now
there's no awu2 tendencies tonite ,
kekekekekkekekekekekekkekekeke.
Cuz
Cuz
I'm too busy singing...
OH, SELAMAT HARI RAYA ,
HARI UNTUK KITA BERSUKA RIA
SELAMAT KAMI UCAPKAN...
