Bangkok Lane revisited

There are more than just food, architectural heritage and quaint homes along Bangkok Lane, Penang. A pleasant surprise, was the intimate atmosphere and artistic elegance of A2 Gallery founded by two artists namely Jeff and Alfred. 

The latter was kind enough to enthusiastically show me around the current exhibition by artist Jane Yap whose works were magnificiently enhanced by the interior architecture of the gallery. 

Along Bangkok Lane, sits A2 Gallery, where Alfred curates.

Staircase to more works, where young heart dreams of..

sitting where Jane's works are currently being displayed.

Worthwhile dropping by in Penang or in cyberspace.

New MacBook

Fresh out of the box and onto the table..

On the left is the new 13" MacBook next to the PowerBook G4

Finally got my replacement macBook. The last one I lost was my 13" black MacBook while filming Thorpe Ali's movie trailer 'Miss Tomoi'. In total, this is my 7th Macintosh. 

Except for the lost black MacBook, the rest I still have in my possession and they are - Power PC 6200/75, Power PC 7100/66, Macintosh IIfx, 15" PowerBook G4, iMac G5 and the latest 13" white MacBook 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo. Not forgetting the 8Gb iPhone, 2Gb iPod, 60Gb iPod AV and an original Apple stylewriter. 

I was very fortunate to have had the privilege of using Macs like many light years ago. We used to order our Macs direct from Mac Warehouse in Hong Kong and I have been hooked to Macs ever since. To a certain extend I may have influenced not less than 10 Mac converts and so far I have yet to hear a single complain. Testimony to that growth is the setting up of the one and only Malaysia Mac User Group -  myMUG

moleskine

I read with interest this article about moleskine and realised that this is what I have been looking for. I have migrated from various forms of writing materials digital included from PDA, Dopod, Palm, iphone, to Communicator, and even the old personal organiser KLUGE.

Non satisfied my need in doodling and sketching than the good old fashion way. Pure pen and paper. So on Monday I rushed out to Kinokuniya in KLCC, (20% discount) and got myself 2 sizes (plain) Moleskine including a ball pen. 

Peeled off the wrapper, open the pages slowly and then ...would you believe that I got stuck at page 1 ? I wrote my name then continue with jotting down the cost and some momentus details of the purchase. I stopped .

I could not continue to put pen on paper....is there such a thing as' moleskine block'?

Passionately driven. Like cruising along the coastal road of Terengganu. Talking about the purchase, the ownership, the sense of belonging. Euphoria!!
