5.1.10

off in the night while you live it up, i'm off to sleep wagin' war to shake the poet and the beat.
i hope it's gonna make you notice.

Full Circle

it's december's end again, the wash-faded cloudy period between christmas and the new year where time stands still a little longer than usual, and the rain puddles directs you to reflect a little bit deeper, a little more than usual; that time of the year where dreamers wake up for water and a smoke, melancholy junkies chin up and sober up over coffee, and sunny hippies anticipate the possibilities of change with their glasses of poison. it's been a learning year, a mix of extremes, a crashcourse on crashing and coasting and crashing again. i've never risked so much by choice, like i did this year. jumped in and out of many bonfires, decisions, (sacrifices?), mistakes, burnt some bridges, built new forts...it's a beautiful thing really. really. life is for the living and to live is to learn, i've got some explaining to do at the pearly gates eventually, but dont we all?

least christmas was peaceful this year. found myself, for awhile. been learning to really appreciate this journey. the trip. (it's okay if you dont get it), 2010 will be willed. time to grow some more perhaps? maybe i'll run out of excuses and chase enough time to do just that next year. maybe i'll prove everyone wrong, or maybe i'll prove everyone right. who knows, lady time's got lotsa toys under her blanket...hopefully mine matches up. this one's for 09, the sweet, the sour, the aftertaste of lollipops and the people that made it all magic....cheers. we'll remember these days.

PS - hyfeeness Cassy Faith Hwang, come home sooner or we're going L.A, you'll be missed girl.. :) blesses from PJ.

Your World, Is Yours

Devdutt Pattanai : East vs West - the myths that mystify

Pattanaik is a self-taught mythologist, and the author (and often illustrator) of several works on aspects of myth. He writes a column called "Management Mythos" for Economic Times that juxtaposes myth onto modern leadership challenges.
As the Chief Belief Officer at Future Group in Mumbai, he helps managers harness the power of myth to understand their employees, their companies and their customers. He's working to create a Retail Religion, to build deep, lasting ties between customers and brands. Here, Devdutt Pattanaik looks at business and modern life through the lens of mythology.

i thought his argument and obsevation in this talk is pretty legit and clever. decide yourself.

Illuminati + Nutella Sandwiches

NEVER TAKE FREEDOM FOR GRANTED they say.

VIGILANTCITIZEN.COM
it's a bed time site for paranoid androids and conspiracy crooks. if you dig this, we should have coffee.

Erm

in actuality, i intended to post up a handful of goodies. but here i am, in front of the monitor with no interest whatsoever to share anything whatsoever. odd, so whatsoever plus the weather's too sunny to be caught up with conspiracy theories today.
next time . play nice peeps. catch me in real life! Holla

An Honourable Goodbye

(taken from The Star Online, today)
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Anti-Corrruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan has resigned — five months ahead of his retirement in May.
“It was supposed to end on May 25, 2010,” Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said. “The Government would like to thank him as he has managed to lead the commission with excellence and performed his task admirably.”

great work sir, admirable indeed. here, a tribute

Reckless Tortuga

now i've been following this bunch of e-producers online for awhile now, good grown humour. they call themselves Reckless Tortuga, which mean reckless turtoise(aw..)
do check their youtube channel out for some pretty funny skits, these 3 below are personal favs "/
note - every coloured guy in malaysia can relate to the first vid(no joke), this one's for you bunch. the last vid carries the similar basic sentiment as to why my friends and i dont like/comprehend/support being a friend's 'fan' on FB. like look, we support your music and all, but a fan? of you?! lol, nothing personal but how bout no?)
anyway. enjoy. =)
