INDEPENDENCE DAY!.... MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

Wondering on the words above, August Month in Malaysia is known as Merdeka (Sovereignty Celebration) Month! Or the so called Independence Day lah! Haiiyaa…..

I remember writing similar article somewhere last year, about my Dad view and perception on Merdeka. Well, it seems that his spirit still with me all along. Great fighter he was, his adrenalin, spirit & blood flowing every inch of my body.

In this Ramadan month, the feeling of freedom and satisfaction being human is irresistible, the taste of hunger and feeling of high without taking any dope – uhh I love it so much. It keeps me well alert and the strength/energy flows throughout my body and very sensitive with nature and surroundings. I love observing the environment, people, night and daylight.

hmmh..enough about me,…. My brother in-law just update me on his duty as a pilot coordinator to ensure the success of copter timing to make a royal salute (lintas hormat diraja) on this coming 31st August, and how big is the event going to be. The Royal Highness will be there and accompany by the Cabinet Ministers and other corporate captains/figure. This event is going to be special since it will be held in the Parliament Building. Yeah I do believe it special tho! What in the hell they are doing there? Gosh!!! The space is limited mahh! Virus will spread like nobody business man!

Manage to surf on the Net, bloggers & politician keep stressing their so called view or perception about Merdeka, emmh …its not much about Merdeka…it seem more on politics what else, about celebration and showing who’s right or who’s wrong. Sigh!!!….huh!!! Nothing to be proud of lah.

Merdeka!!! Are we Merdeka enough to contribute, Are Merdeka enough to make our own decision, to be free and breakaway from all these political nonsense. Are we Merdeka enough just to make sure the economy is on the right path and positive for our future generation? Are we Merdeka from A H1N1. Are we Merdeka enough just to have a decent job and earn a sincere livelihood?

Emmh still wondering….. is that Merdeka!

Or is it RIP (Rest in Peace)……. Nah..thats truly Merdeka huh!

HAPPY FASTING – RAMADAN IS HERE!!!

Guys, wishing all of you Happy Ramadan – May journey of your soul/spirit continue to prosper and colorful!

Jack!

VISIT ART LAND

Manage to meet some old friends at PENA last Saturday, Helen, Abg Mad, My bro Art & group is there doing some artwork. We chat for not even ½ an hour. Point of visit is to introduce my new born to everybody, not enough time since I’m rushing for Kedah trip that same day….hahh miss the old days.

Everybody in good shape and healthy, my daughter really enjoy it. She enjoys that short moment with Helen; listening both of them laughing and chatting really touches my heart. I bet both of them can be damn good buddy if time permitted.

Looking at the place & inconsistency of the new land owner in providing extra space & support for our local artists to do their job, really burn me. “Piss-off” what else. Yeah that is what happen when you “tumpang” people’s place. That place is expected to be develop soon, high rise building I guess – what else. Nobody even care on this artist contribution to the society and arts world. Most of them should be categorize as national heritage & support should be given to them due to their commitment for the country’s arts & crafts development.

Hahh! What to do, things is not as simple as it’s seen. Well, if I’ve money, I’ll buy a warehouse and put them there, provide small office for clerk to record all the necessary expenses “needs” for related necessary raw material and provide them all the comfort to produce more artworks. Make a small/smart art gallery in front of the warehouse and display all sort of creativity/arts/craft produce by them to the public. Let the public value and taste their contribution and pay the price offered.

“Artwork is an exclusive asset for exclusive people in an exclusive market” – Phrase by International Best Seller “Book on Art Business Marketing”. This phrase remind me on another book written by Stan Lauryssens “Dali & I – The Surreal Story” – one of my favorite, about scandals, black market of International Arts Industry which produce multi billions transaction in Exclusive High End Europe market.

Looking back at my own country….fuuhhh!!!!!!!!.......... How to be at par or catch up the said market….. We are not 20-30 years far behind…it’s might be more than 40-50 years behind them “The West” I mean.

How to improvise……? No Clue….. So now whatever Strength & Weaknesses we have (either money or product) just used it smartly. Opportunity & Threat is always there for us to face it.

Hmmhh……wondering!

VICTIMIZE BY A H1N1!

Just received damn bad news today, friend of mine, Mr. Avanza has been detected positive Influenza A H1N1. I hate myself when the feeling of can’t do a thing to help & assist, so much so its weaken myself. Quarantine means “Cannot Visit, drink coffee with him & Say Hello”. Damn fucking virus!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like somebody or some structured organization release this so called high-tech weapon i.e. “virus” and purposely let it spread to the world today while some company going to make a hell of good money by selling the vaccine of cure. Maybe some Defense Co’s makes billions in a short frame of time. Prejudice …yupp… hell I am!

Piss-off!! Yupp!…I do so!

To my great friend Mr. Avanza, we always be with you and inside you. Let’s fight this virus together; quarantine will take 4-7 days, let’s pray for the best. In the meantime, rest assured your family is safe & taken care of!

We are brothers! Trust Me & Tuah Biduanda, we honor our brotherhood spirit & fulfill your request wholeheartedly with plain and sincerity.

To my Bro Avanza!...Be well soon – Both of us (Me & Tuah) cannot wait to strike the lightning together with you Bro!

Jack.

JUST DO IT PROFESSIONALLY

I remember phrase given by an old friend of mine…..we did play hockey match together in a team and during that match, we are at the losing side 0 to 7(opponent leading) and since it’s a losing battle, before the last whistle blow - he said to me “Jack! My friend, if we going down, we must go down professionally and in style”. So once the final whistle blow, we shout & screaming ….horrrray…..horrayyy….hooorayy and running around the field like lunatics ….catching hens for dinner.

Our classmates (Indian Chaps)or the so – called hard core supporter bringing broken desk from nearby classroom and start knocking the desk to create sound of Drum or Tabla (Indian Drum), as if it’s a “SAMBA DAY & CELEBRATION” for the glory of losing. So we dancing, running around and make a horrible sound of celebration. Huh! I love the old days. Chinese, Indian, Malay Sikh, Portuguese…just name it…everybody is so united in that School “St Micheal” off course.

The spectators and the opponent blinking their eyes without understand what da hell happen “What are they celebrating about?...the losing game? or they just nuts”.

From my point of view….ehhh…it’s professionally done! Very professional and stylist.

Either win, loose or draw…. We should celebrate in style and be united………hahahaha.

Back to our society here, emmh…wondering abut the local news & politician. Ayooyo!
What da hell happen man!!! We are 30-40 years backward and not moving forward.
They just keep on spinning-spinning & spinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aren’t they aware of the danger of being disunited? Be professional and lead in style…..ohhh!!! I missed Tun Dr. M. Hoping if he can shade some light here.

H1N1….is so damn deadliest, wake up everybody and face it professionally. Be prepared of this highly dangerous virus. At this moment everybody should be united to fight this pandemic & not wasting time politicking. As of today 14 people confirm dead.

Personal Remark:

So many idiots in our society…..in the name of Jesters aka MPs or whatever their name is. I do believe these clowns should be remove and vacant their seat. Any suggestion on suitable candidate for Dictator Post?

What else…this country need somebody who can dictate!

VIRUS STRIKE

My apology for delay in updating this column. I know everyone is waiting for my update. Emmhh…busy with my paperwork and projects.

OK on my family.
My new born is fine, his sister also in good shape. Both of them seem to love each other. Just received Congrats e-mail from Helen, Gosh!!! Almost forgot to update everybody on my newborn. Thanks to my Bro Art for informing everybody on my behalf.

OK on H1N1 Virus.
Just look at the news on H1N1, gosh!!! It’s horrible news. This virus spread so fast and yet no cure. Looking at the death toll…now has reach up to 6 nationwide and believes me, more to come. The ministry of health should do more on this, i.e. supply the mask to public, request people to avoid public places, avoid playing at the park for children, or supply free hand wash antiseptic to school & what not. I just feel that the Ministry of Health not doing enough, they need to act fast and improve more. I remember when I arrived at Indonesia, it take the Indon’s Health Personnel nearly 20 minutes just to have health screening test on me and interviewing me on country that I’ve visited. Long queue off-course, but everybody seems understand the necessity of the screening and for the benefit of everyone who arrived.

When I reach KLIA, I’m surprise! It’s like not much being done i.e. scanning randomly and not thorough unlike other country, they not even do the health screening on me. It’s just weird. Just feel sad with the infected group that raises more than 1,500 people.…..

Public/People need to be aware, and extra careful on facing this dangerous pandemic. Without public cooperation and support, I do believe the Ministry of Health cannot fight or counter this virus alone.
