Lear

I'm supposed to finish reading King Lear!.

But I end up working late (by choice, because I like to hang out at Nasi Kandar at night after work).

And plucking my guitar before sleep.

So you tell me if I have time for reading? (this is a really stupid question).

Moving out. (again)

My housemates and I decided that we need to move out to some place which can easily have Internet access. I'm currently living at the border of Sg. Batu and Teluk Kumbar, on the way to Balik Pulau. It's a nice fishing village, and peaceful too. Our house is next to the beach, and usually, we'll hear some nice sound of wave. I love the place.

The problem is that, it's so hard to ask TM people to fix the phone line there (this is the classic example of a lembab service from TM, TMNet, and whoever TM. Sorry TM people. I think TMNet does suck). We've been trying to get it for close to half-year already! (Don't you just love TMNet?). I hope the Wi-Fi-zation of Penang will solve this monopoly problem soon. Anyway, they (TMNet) don't care. Do they?

Anyway, another reason why we decided to move is that, it's easier to go eat. Currently, the restaurant in front of our place are not really nice (being the Penangite wannabe, we're really particular about food). The next best thing is Cargas Cafe in Bayan Lepas (come to Penang and I'll bring you there. The ayam goreng is quite nice).

Plus, the Maxis line over there is kind of suck too. Anyway, the "other side" of Penang (a.k.a Balik Pulau dan kawasan2 yang sewaktu dengannya) are still under develop.

The absolute real reason why we want to move out is that, our friend who want to stay there decided not to rent there. So since we feel like moving out, so there it is.

Moving to Batu Maung, or around Permatang Damar Laut.
Peace out.

Sketch

Last weekend I spent some time back sketching some cartoon characters (after a long time, finally have the time).

I'll only post the sketch later.

Perginya Seorang Insan Seni

Dunia muzik tanahair dikejutkan dengan pemergian Rosli Khamis, atau lebih dikenali sebagai Loloq. Loloq adalah seorang penulis lirik yang terkenal dengan kemampuannya menggunakan ayat ayat yang indah, kadangkala terlalu puitis buat para peminat muzik di Malaysia.

Layar Impian, Aduh Saliha, Apokalips, Berikan Nurbisa...

Lirik-lirik indah ini dizahirkan dengan pemerhatian yang meluas, mempunyai maksud mendalam, dan sememangnya dihargai oleh ramai peminat seni tanah air.

Loloq tetap dikenang. Al-Fatihah

If you haven't heard of AYA awards before, don't worry about it. I also just recently know about it.

So if we turn out to win the award, it is the award for everyone who volunteer to run the website. Some of them become my best friends.

Thanks and have fun ReComming.

Kartini


Hari raya ini, aku banyak habiskan masa mengemas bilik "setor" untuk dijadikan tempat persinggahan ketika pulang ke kampung. Maklumlah, setiap kali pulang ke kampung, aku akan menumpang di bilik adik aku yang kecil ni. Walaupun ada bilik besar untuk satu family duduk, aku lebih selesa dengan "setting" bilik adik aku. Terasa bujang kalau lepak kat situ. Buat masa ni la. Kalau dah ada family, aku rasa bilik besar lagi bagus.

Sedang aku asyik menyelak barang2 yang hampir luput dalam kenangan kami sekeluarga, aku terjumpa sebuah komik "Kartini" karya saudara Tembakau . Tak sangka pula komik ni masih wujud dalam simpanan di balik buku2 lamaku yang semerbak harum baunya.

Aku berjaya meng"import" kembali komik Kartini ke Penang. Semalam aku telah menghabiskan separuh daripada cerita komik tu sebelum tidur. Aku sengaja tak habiskan komik tu semalam, sebab nak layan lagi hari ni. Saja nak rasa saspens sebab aku dah ingat-ingat lupa apa kesudahannya.

Hari ni, aku cari dalam Google kalau2 ada sambungan komik ini, dan ura-ura menyatakan bahawa Tembakau dah keluarkan "Kartini kembali". Yes. Bagus. Aku akan dapatkannya di pasaran serta-merta.

Aku rasa kena banyak lagi cerita2 begini untuk dijadikan iktibar pada generasi muda akan datang.
