Oops I did it again

Yeah but this time, with 3 other bikers

Some exchange of greetings, till the next visit, which Johar said  'it would be best to arrive here before the 'ayam berkokok' to enjoy the full morning mist."

Personal attention from the Executive Chef.

Sharing Johar's experience (coloured bandenas)  during the recent Indonesian trip, where the unfortunate tragedy striked the late Indonesian Actor, Allahyarham Sophan Sophian.

What was once considered colour 'koling' is now hip.

The sun, stars and moon over a lime green background makes you wonder whether its a kindergarten or a madrasah. 

It should be interesting to start compiling pictures of this subject and call it 'kindergarten graffiti' .

It is also interesting to know that spare parts of the classic scooters are still manufactured and available from Indonesia.

"Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress no matter how slow" - Plato

Having shown these 3 family members and friend on how to start their own blog I couldn't agree more. 

It was Aidil on Saturday (2 days before your exams), Fithri on Sunday ( a day before your baby was born) and Lan on Monday ( 3 days after you shaved your head bald)

As you all have found out by now, that there is actually a lot to write, but take your time. No pressure.

All this credit must go to Jai

cafe@lui re-visited

I told you i'll be barq! 

Could not resist that ST shot in the mist. 

Woke up just before suboh and thought its time to warm up the bike and what better way than to zoom across the hills and meander through the winding road of Hulu Langat.  A hot cup of nescafe tarik and a couple of toast chatting with the brilliant guardians of this wonderful place.

What a cool way to start the weekend.

kakireka and wrega

Sometimes, I wonder how exactly is the true state of our design industry. Do people really care? Do designers really care?  How many of us really care? Who cares? 

If designers were given the opportunity to charter the course of the design industry in this country, what would they do.

Are these some of the forthcoming responds?

"I don't have time, I have other commitments, I have to concentrate on jobs that put food on the table, I have to live, I don't have time on things that do not provide me with monetary returns."

wREGA was established almost 10 years ago, what is its present state of affairs?

KakiReka was launched less than a year ago, how is it surviving?

The irony of it is both are champions and authority in Brands. 

Will KakiReka end up like wREGA?

How about doing a Brand audit on these two good natured voluntary non profit organisation?

Monkeys in the City

Right in the middle of Taman Tar, if you are lucky enough you can catch wild monkeys being hand fed almost everyday once in the morning and once in the evening.

Monkeys of another kind ...

What a week

Reccee through palm oil plantation of Felda Palong in Gemas Negeri Sembilan, took us through the long and winding road of Kuala Pilah and small towns of Juasseh, Bahau on route to Gemas

A must stop at the Kuala Pilah Bus Station to savour the best Cendol in Negeri Sembilan.

Superb combination, Mee Rojak and of course Cendol..In the background Self-Endorsed Advertising (ala Richard Branson of Virgin) featuring the Man himself Abu Backer Sitihiq of KP Cendol.



It was a hectic week, preparing for an important presentation throughout the weekend and had to turn down a couple of meetings which include, my condo's management committee meeting, wREGA annual general meeting, also turned down a talk at kakireka. (Fortunately, managed to persuade TinToy as a replacement speaker).  Turned down another meeting today with wREGA at Koh's place.

Cafe@Lui

Good ride with good company

Nothing more rejuvenating than a ride to the East coast.
