Officiated by Nurul Izzah Anwar

Venue: The Annexe Gallery, Central Market Annexe

The Exhibition
One of Malaysia’s brightest young artistic talents Saiful Razman
presents his first solo exhibition, entitled Pelan-Pelan Dan Bilik
Gerakan. Tackling the theme of urban fatigue and psychological stress
of the sensibility-numbing life in the Klang Valley where Saiful lives
and works, the artist puts city life squarely in focus in his latest
works. Among the subjects Saiful tackles include media overload,
religious and moral hypocrisy, monocultural and monotheistic tyranny,
and right-wing chauvinist ideologies.

MUSE Rocked!

OK OK. I went, even though I’m not that big a fan, and The Girl wanted to go, so I went. But think about it, who else is going to come to Malaysia (apparently N.O.F.X. and maybe Incubus – more t.b.a.) We got there around 7pm and almost everyone was dressed in black. I could almost imagine them Harian Metro headlines.

Wikimapia For All

A while back, Bundy pointed me to Wikimapia while describing where he lived. From what I’ve seen, it’s like a lightweight version of Google Earth (not surprising since it’s Powered By Google) with some Wiki-ness thrown in. Basic features such as zooming in, out and around as well as search are available for the casual surfers. The real fun begins once you register as a user. Registering allows you to tag areas and to attach descriptions. Once reviewed and voted, your contributions become part of Wikimapia. The usual tourist locations such as KLCC and KL Tower have already been tagged but the possibilities are endless. I’ve even seen people tagging and describing their own homes.

PornoTube

expose yourself

Ok. I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. PornoTube is a beta service and is just like YouTube ,only naked(er), and they stream audio files and host images too. Hehe. And their tagline is “Expose YourselfFuck Around“. Haha. What’s not to love? The gay porn.

Thanks to Dario Salvelli’s Blog for the head’s up.

WPFD @ CM: The Videos

I was looking around YouTube and found this video of Nao performing on Day 1.

More videos from Lainie (she has a lot of videos from both days of the WPFD gig) or you can search YouTube.

Much thanks to Lainie. If anyone else has any more video links, please let me know.

6/6/06: Post Mortem

I should start calling this blog { procrastinatingtalent }. Heh.

free images available at sxc.hu

So what did I do on this historic date? I watched The Exorcist. I’ve had the DVD in my album for quite a while now but I could never get up the courage (haha, yeah laugh it up) to watch the movie alone and/or at night. I have vague memories of watching this movie on VHS and it scared me shitless, but then again, even E.T. scared me.
