So last Saturday I went to my neighbouring country for five days
To attend this academic conference at Singapore Management University. It was attended by many people. Engineers, Social Scientists, Artists… Anyone who deals with digital media one way or another, basically.
The seminars and parallel papers (At most times there are 5-7 talks going on at [...]

I just read up on former Selangor Menteri Besar Dr Mohd Khir Toyo’s statements on Malaysiakini and I am seriously wishing I could tell him to stop being racist. Here are excerpts, with my response after:
“As long as Anwar is important in Pakatan Rakyat, the muzakarah (dialogue) will not succeed. Anwar does not want to [...]

Playing The Joker in The Dark Knight is Heath Ledger’s best performance in his entire career. Unfortunately, the precision in his portrayal of the absolutely psychotic nemesis of Batman is indicative of how much he had to pscyhe himself up for the role.
Yes, I do believe the role played a part in his subsequent death.
But [...]

‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of the LORD their God nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.’

1. Ah Loh, please lah, be civil lah. Let me be very honest. Up till today, I’m still wondering why Subang Jaya voted for Loh Guo Burne. Ok, let’s not go into the dynamics of why this and why that. I’m very happy Hannah Yeoh won, and I’m very proud to be a Subangite with [...]

So I was just teaching some students the other day that there’s no such thing as writer’s block. At least there’s no such thing as a total block. I offered them a solution, that when you can’t write one thing, put it aside and write something else. Keep switching until you find something you can [...]
