By the time I arrived at KL Sentral yesterday,the event organised by RandomActs has started.It was my mistake for arriving 15 minutes later than the scheduled time on 23rd August,2008 at 3pm.Anyway,I was glad that I went to see the...
Flickr is organising another 24 Hours event on 08.08.08 this Friday.I hope to join my friends to take a few snapshots for the event.The photo on the right was my submission for last year.May I ask your opinion what kind...
A note from my visit to London in 2000:
Let me bore you to death with another interesting book story.Lately I am fascinated by a science called cryptography.It is the mathematics of it really-stuff like group theory,fuzzy logic,numeric algorithm etc.I bought a book called Station X by Michael Smith.It is the story of smart chaps at Bletchley Park where they used to crack the German military messages during WW11.One of them was Prof.Alan Turing( a revered Cambridge mathematician who invented the Analogue Engine and also the guy who invented the first programmable computer!)I bought the book on 31/3/2000 and read about the machine(called the Enigma) they used to break the German coded messages.On reading the book,I decided to see the infamous machine that helped Britain to win the war a few years earlier.To my suprise,a few days later on the 3/4/2000,I read in The Times(front page) that the machine (serial no:G 312) was stolen on 1/4/2000.What a coincidence! If I were to visit the place earlier,I may be a prime suspect?Just imagine,a middle age man from Malaysia was apprehended on suspicion of theft.The machine is missing,but he was caught with the book Station X in his over-coat!At the moment, they have not caught the thief yet.You are welcome to visit the website as mentioned above and read the latest development.

With hardcovers notebook,it provides the stable support to write my journal.Here is the photo of my son started writing his 18-month moleskine diary.I hope he enjoys using moleskine as much as I do.
While waiting for a friend to arrive at Cyberview Lodge,my attention caught this little hut in the garden in front of the hotel.I saw different tones of the green leaves depending on their locations from the direct sun light...they are...
Re-reading Nicholas Negroponte's "Being Digital".Published Feb,1995 and he wrote about socializing in digital neighbourhoods in 20 years time. Fast forward to today,the 'digital neighbourhoods' written by Prof Negroponte is all true but in different names like myspace,friendster,yahoo groups,google groups etc...
The photo shows my friend KA,a communication engineer by training but an artist at heart painting his moleskine.At our first moleskine gathering,he showed us how to paint.It looks so easy when he paints but when it is my turn,I know...
Two lessons I learnt from this learning process are:
1. I must plan what I want to draw.
2.I need a lot of patience to look and draw the details.
I must do this more often so that my sketch will better.
The businessman needs two chairs-one for his customer and the other as a table for his typewriter.He sits on the steps at the old court house.It is business as usual for him.
