What do you think of blogging?

blogging-world

I had fun messing code for my latest scrap blog at kiro’s art. It was nothing really. As I had spend ages fixing and testing. It was awful tempting. Not knowing the time, I had been glued on my laptop till 4am in the morning.

Couldn’t let you guys see my eye bags. Horrible.

While doing these, I’d also found out that many many teens are blogging professionally. They are brilliant indeed, at 16yrs old, freelancing web designer. The job they did was beautiful. If not told, I thought they were designers too.

Shame on me.

Though, it’s consider a small preview. It is already enough for us to read them.

My kid could paint that

Painted by 22 months old boy, Lun.
kids-art-painting

This was Lun’s 5th painting on 12/01/08, afternoon. I taught him splashing colors with brush. It was a great fun then.

His first painting was all in color plate. Nothing much on paper.

His second painting, he did some colors on the paper and i taught him hand and foot print.

His third painting, only in blue, we had great fun with brushes.

His fourth painting, in chinese caligraphy art taught by his dad.

This was the first painting by standing on two feet. Those previously were done on the floor.

Malaysia after election week

Now, now, if you had read my previous post Malaysia election week, you will know my concern.

As lately, global warming affecting everyone on earth, I am much more concern on environmental issue in my country. Our election campaign, was an issue. Most of the flags and fliers were made of plastic. Too much unwanted material flying around. Ended up in the dustbin. It’s a waste of our money and polluting out earth.

How would our political party solve these issue? Will they, throw, re-use, recycle or give away as souvenir?

Malaysia’s Political tsunami? What is happening to Malaysia?

Well, peace and calm. We are smart country, friendly people. Nothing chaos is going to be happen. Our streets is still filled with political flags. There were happily flying around. An eye sour though. What was happening in the street after the announcement? No parade, not shouting, no demonstration. We were all in front of the TV watching news, sleeping in our cozy bed dreaming. Or at mamak stall gossiping.

It was almost 4am in the morning when they had finally finished. As i was too sleepy. Knock off at 1 am. All i knew was Melacca officially announced under BN. Penang is under DAP. Perak was still undecided. Pak Lah won his seat!

The next morning when i woke up, BN lost all 5 states; Selangor, Perak, Kelantan, Kedah, Penang. Biggest news in country! Half of the people cheers, half turns miserable. Most aunts, uncles line up at the newspaper stall, waiting to get their hands on the hot news. As part of the aunty gang. My aunt called us 7am in the morning saying she had bought a copy too!

We went out for Yong Tou Foo. Streets we as usual, not too congested not too few. A boring day with exciting new beginning.

Malaysia Election Week

malaysia general election

*ps: the flag above will not be exactly the same as political parties logo. It’s just similarity. So don’t get angry. Ya~

If you are looking for political manifestos, you’ll be disappointed.
I just couldn’t bear looking at our streets. It was the ugliest sight for everyone.
Look at all those banners, flags… Everywhere. They were so creative to put us at risk. Look, you will find dangling banners under the bridge, under the lamp post. Waiting to drop on top of us.

I’d even saw newspaper showing flags floating on the river. Amazing!!  But environmental UNFRIENDLY.
Look closely, they were using plastic as a medium. What will happen after election?
Will all these be re-use? I doubt that. It will be dirty and fade off. In the end, everything will be thrown into dustbin.

Oh… please. I pledge, couldn’t you guys use any better material? Or could we have a special spot just for the campaign?
