The Lack of Art Talents is Disturbing

By maskawaih, January 14, 2010 3:49 PM

The reason I was writing this up because I was attending a small meeting which basically discussing about a research done by a group of people relating digital content in Malaysia. Well, technically speaking, I was representing the mobile content groups along with my friend (despite my company being a newfag in such area, we’re called for such meeting and I do think there are more people suitable in replacing us for that matter). Frankly speaking, we were discussing over data and graphs that being presented on the projector screen. Of course, over such things, conversation will be started upon critical points. There are many kind of digital contents. Whatever it is, we certainly require good contents which leads to good content creators like those good producers. When it comes to good producers, it is not only about creating great ideas as they need someone we called as graphic artist.

Somewhat underrated series ever

Indonesia & North Korea VS Malaysia & South Korea

Indonesia & North Korea VS Malaysia & South Korea

Naturally, I may simply ranting up to thousands of words to flavor up things happened between Indonesia and Malaysia per se. Well, politics. Not simply about national pride since it is being a fact that my ancestors were from Indonesia. Mind you that my family has somewhat distant relationship with the royal family of the glorious Diponegoro. In my own personal view, as their propaganda of hate directed to us through media, I believe that was their leaders’ tactics to divert the people attention and also to cover up their own problems and faults. After all, that’s politics for you. Heh…

52nd

1Malaysia

1Malaysia

It’s Malaysia’s 52nd Independence Day anniversary. I am quite patriotic about my country tho honestly speaking I lack in a sense of nationalism. Anyway, it’s good to have some passion such as this as people today tend to have something like globalization and things like that. Truly, that’s not really a brand new idea. It’s been there even before the birth of Jesus, long before that actually. Yet, racial differences still there up until now. It’s not a matter who’s the first to set foot on the soil, don’t you think? Anyway, I watched 1957 Hati Malaya movie last night. For me, it’s a nice movie. While some of scenes kinda rushed but it covered several important part such as the idea of unification with Indonesia for Melayu Raya, the differences between H.S. Lee and Tan Cheng Lock, Dato’ Onn and Tunku Abdul Rahman, British’s Malayan Union and many more. Since I’ve been reading biography of Dato’ Onn, it was his idea to create a unified party that consists various races into the original UMNO then the idea actually being materialized during the alliances of UMNO-MCA some after he leaved the party. Since then. we all know the things happened from that day until today and more stuffs. We can talk much about it but I’d rather not. Datuk Seri Najib’s idea of 1Malaysia is not really that new to me. Just something old that being added with new name. One can say, it’s just a propaganda. However, it is important. The idea of Malaysia is integration between her people. We, Malaysians, are not gonna be like Indonesia where her people went through assimilation and ignoring cultures. Both have pros and cons tho I agree even after 50 years, it’s still not that mature enough. Yeah, both nations still having its own problems. Now for Malaysia, I am wishing more interrelationship between races and cultures. 1Malaysia doesn’t mean that you can build a religious site anywhere without the concern of the locals.

Hari Pahlawan

Tugu Negara

Tugu Negara

Hari ini adalah hari peringatan untuk semua wira-wira yang mempertahankan tanah air Malaysia dan juga kepada mereka yang berkhidmat di bawah panji kebesaran negara tanpa mengira dari pasukan mana sekalipun sama ada tentera mahupun polis. Sesungguhnya merekalah yang banyak berjasa dalam melawan musuh-musuh negara sebelum dan selepas kemerdekaan. Adapun peringatan kepada wira-wira ini tidak terhad kepada mereka yang berasal dari negara ini sahaja. Haruslah kita ingati bahawasanya terdapat ramai lagi yang turut membantu seperti tentera-tentera Commonwealth khususnya British, Australia, New Zealand, India dan banyak lagi yang telah pun memberikan keringat dan titik peluh mereka pada masa-masa darurat dan peperangan. Kita telah lihat bagaimana peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku akibat persengketaan yang melibatkan pelbagai pihak dan juga anasir-anasir luar yang ingin mencabul maruah negara. Askar-askar Melayu ramai yang terkorban di Bukit Candu. Polis-polis di Bukit Kepong gigih bertahan sehingga akhir.

Super GT Sepang 2009 – The Cars (Part 1)

Super GT in Sepang International Circuit

Super GT in Sepang International Circuit

So, I got the media pass for Super GT in Sepang that day. The event was being held from 19th to 21st of June. I kinda delighted to have such opportunity since I’ve never been to any event such as this. This was my first time ever in Sepang International Circuit. It’s kinda funny tho to have a media pass since I don’t have any DSLR. I just brought along my LX3 with that tiny TelePhoto Lens. Being a nubfag, I was following around my colleague within the area. Well, first we had to take our media pass from the information counter along with parking sticker. The parking is near the paddock where we had to take the media vest from the media center. Additionally, we had to pay RM 100 for each member as a deposit in case we lost the vest and such. That’s for the first day. The second day is where I took many pictures of the cars on the track. Since this is a two-part post, I put on the first gallery here.

Oh, I did take some videos as well.

Now, for the second part…

I went to One Utama last night. Why? Because Mac City, the Apple Computer Reseller in Malaysia, is currently holding an event there, the ”Mac + iPod Discovery Week” from 17th to 21st December. As usual, a fair like this will exhibit several products from the reseller where people can have somewhat personal hands on with the products which eventually will make them purchase it (or simply tell others for show off like, “Hey, I get a hold of iPhone that day. It’s very cool lor”).

Mac + iPod Discovery Week
Mac + iPod Discovery Week

For last night, I was there along with Amin and Reza Fahmi, the Terato big boss, for attending the iPhone Development talk apart from having fun by testing those gadgets. Conducted by Chris Hong, he gave much of his experiences on developing applications for Mac especially iPhone/iPod. As some of you might already knew, iPhone still has a very small market in Malaysia as it’s not yet officially available. Though, iPod Touch is available and it’s functions are pretty much the same only without those GSM, GPS and camera functions. So far, there are only two applications officially from Malaysian developers (as what Chris said). One of the developers was there, Adrian, who created a simple but useful converter application. Actually, we are somewhat members of Malaysian Cocoaheads, local branch of the international Cocoa Programmers’ Group. Opposed from usual meeting which is 3rd Saturday of the month, we made the meeting earlier as of the iPhone Development talk was on Thursday.

It was a fun experience. Being an ardent gamer on Windows platform, I don’t have much reasoning to use Apple Macintosh much. Yet, as I am iPhone developer wannabe, developing stuffs on Apple platform is a must. For those who don’t know much, Xcode is a tool for programming in Cocoa. Despite it uses Objective-C for its programming language, it can understand other programming languages like C or C++ which also can be integrated into the Objective-C with some simple coding (just like Chris said, again). Oh, those two cats of mine are just additional spices added in this entry.

Well, that’s all for now. :3
