Penang Street Art

A good tourist spot for art lovers with children who doesn't mind some hot sun and sweating. And if you like texture of rotting woods, moss, decaying walls and plants growing in between wall cracks. I can get this around my housing area but we thought travelling some 400 kilometers away would be much more fun.

Basic Where ?

Penang is situated north of Malaysia, some 400km away form KL. It is a popular tourist attraction. The street art thingy is in town. Find Armenian Street or Lebuh Acheh. I am not sure about public transport, i took the car into town. A Sunday on a long national holiday, one would expect the parking to be full. I was there at 10am and found myself a parking spot in one of the 'per entry' space. RM5 per entry.

Basic What Is This ?

Street art here means paintings on walls. NO street performer, NO unicycle juggling act, NO mime, NO man paint themselves and stays still as if a statute and NO drawings on the pavement. Just paintings on walls.

Firstly get a map. You can get them free from almost any tourist-ly shop. Then figure out where you are and where you are going next.
Then you'll probably get lost. So you ask the china-man in front of his shop for help. He'll then say "Eh, Ooo.. this one wrong map."

Then he gives you another one. Then you decide to take the beca because it all looks complicated. Yes, rent a beca (trishaw) because the beca man will bring you to all the paintings.

Where ?

Unlike Malacca, the whole street, the whole area is made for tourist. Its nice and selfie friendly all the way. Here in Penang, the paintings are scattered, faded and unmarked. So, the beca man can be a good tour guide. At RM35 per hour (for Malaysians) its worth it.

A lot of unique customise bike. Rental would be between RM 60 to RM 80 for 2 hours.

My bike cost RM10 per hour. Got bakul infront ma.

RM 80 for 2 hours. I rented a Saga for RM 90 per day. But you really can't compare. Come a day earlier for advance booking. Those expensive bikes would be unavailable by 10:30 am or so. I have no relation to Wong. 

This popular painting you get on t-shirts and notebooks and all is actually a worn off painting with too many people taking pictures.

T-Shirts. Buy one. Support local industry. You wouldn't want to see Banglas mending tourist attraction 'local' shops right? Soon mat salleh will come to Malaysia to see paintings made by mat sallehs and stalls mended by Bangladeshis. Very soon.

Raya 2015 - Family Greeting Card

Selamat Hari Raya 2015

Saya Juga Seorang Cikgu

"Nak makan apa Cikgu ?" tanya tuan punya cafe kat Aswara.

Sejak menjejak lingkaran umur yang confirm umur-umur ayah, dah banyak gelaran orang bagi aku. Abang- standart dan selalu. Tuan- bila orang yang kita berdepan agak terlalu sopan. Encik- hal ehwal rasmi dan panggilan student. Sir- panggilan student juga. Haji- bertegur sapa di surau-surau. Dan banyak lagi la..

Tapi bila dipanggil cikgu, aku toleh lebih sikit. Satu gelaran yang megah rasanya. Walaupun belum layak, tapi rasa megah.

Sketchbook lama-lama.

Aku sekarang sedang mengajar 3D di ASWARA. Sejak tahun 2015.

Aku juga sedang mengajar sambilan di Kolej Teknologi Alpha. Interaktif. Sejak 2014.

Aku pernah, selama 2 tahun dari 200, mengajar di KBU International. Ajar Graphic.

Dan sebelum itu aku mengajar secara sambilan di CENFAD, KL. Figure drawing dan textile design. Sepatutnya textile design saja. Tapi ketua kursus tu tengok sketches aku masa interview dan terus menawarkan satu lagi subject.

Di celah Cenfad dan KBU, aku pernah berbengkel dan ber-short course dari UKM ke Guthrie Melaka. Dan beberapa tempat lain yang aku pun tak boleh recall. Aku mengajar 3D.

Jadi, selain seorang pengarah animasi, saya juga seorang cikgu.

YAC - Yet Another Cleaner ni betul ke?

Kena lagi! Tiba-tiba browser aku penuh dengan iklan-iklan cara nak jadi kaya, video-video cara nak duit cepat dan berjuta, iklan judi, iklan kasino, iklan game avatar nenen besar dan iklan langsai hutang. Satu bende positive dari sini adalah aku sekarang nampak bukan orang melayu je nak kaya senang. Ini fenomena alam. Mat salleh pun sama.

So look into your install/uninstall Program dan find this YAC (Yet Another Cleaner). A quick look on google, some sites says this is another malware.

https://blog.malwarebytes.org/ says so. But in some forums, a few users gives the thumbs up. Bagus bende ni.

Di sebab kan YAC ini diinstall sendiri dalam PC aku, aku consider bende ni tak best dan dah buang. Baru-baru ni memang banyak lah aku download software dan pakai online freeware, jadi kemungkinan besar datang dari situ.

Conclusion dia, buang sebab dia masuk ikut cara haram.
