MXV • Views from a KAPJAI

MAYBE I am one of those very few that never knew about Tony Bourdian nor followed on TV, for I had discontinued Astro a long time ago.  Suddenly I got incredibly moved while watching “Remembering Anthony Bourdain” on CNN. His fellow journalists on CNN had so much emotional wisdom to share about this gifted man’s inspiration upon them.  Many words and phrases stirred within me about my own personal journey and being. I recalled my general purpose as an artist in which others would normally define in very common categories while personally, I still can’t.  Every few years I have stretches of passions with each overlapping another in seamless transitions. My own sessions I had facilitated in many countries named “Movement from the Heart” permeate through my life very much like Bourdain’s.  Bourdain’s work was not about travel, food and culture (although it has) and neither my choreography, design, art, teaching, counseling or social work was about each. It’s about g

We normally have a feeling when friends ask to chat with us out of the blue. I can sense especially when it comes to direct selling or multi level marketing. All the red flags would pop up but with VKen, it was less because it was coming from a friend I have known for 25 years. We first met in Penang at the Franciscan Capuchin House!  Thanks David. Mind you, I was very skeptical for sure. As the weeks passed, my skepticism waned bit by bit as I tried to find out as much as I can about what makes the products work.  During the first month, I was rather disappointed that my family (9 members using) did not find mind blowing changes. Wait, though my family members were seemingly "negative" or "disappointing" in their feedback, all were supportive in journeying with me. Generally, each person was from an "average-no-change-nonchalant demeanor" to a "kind-of-feel-good" and from the "I think some change is happening" to "the pain is gone

K Das & The Tunku Tapes - Candid conversations with the late Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's first prime minister, delve deep into the character and ideas of one of Asia's most colourful politicians TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN In His Own Words ON BECOMING PRIME MINISTER So many things have happened in my lifetime that I cannot ignore. In the first place, there was that Indian fellow who threw dice, the astrologer. When I was District Officer in Kulim in 1939, he predicted that I would be the first prime minister of this country. Everybody laughed, I laughed . . . how could a poor district officer of Kulim be the first prime minister? But he said, "You can laugh but that is what your stars foretell." That was in 1939. In 1957, I became prime minister of Malaya . . . ON TUNKU THE MAN I believe in living and being happy, otherwise what the hell do you want to live for? How long do you expect to live for? Only yesterday I was running and jumping about as a kid, then as a you

RELAY for LIFE 2012 Media Launch took flight on Tuesday, Sept 4th, 2012. This will mark the 4th  RELAY for LIFE  that I'll be participating in along with the celebrities organised by our hero Dato' Yasmin Yusuff. It was special today as I was with my sister Stella who is a cancer survivor. We were in matching purples. Relay for Life is an overnight, community-based event to celebrate cancer survivorship and raise funds forNCSM’s cancer awareness projects.  RFL starts with the Survivors’ Lap, a testimony to the fact that so many people today are surviving cancer. Cancer survivors from the community walk the first lap around the track to celebrate their victories while everyone cheers them on. The main aim of this event is that the track should not be devoid of people throughout the 16 hours. The most inspirational time of Relay is the Luminaria Ceremony which happens at dusk when cancer survivors are honoured and those who have lost their battle with the disease are rem

I once had the amazing chance of being an usher for the revival of Big River (Tony Award for Best Musical '85) at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway in 2005. BIG thanks to Tamar Kummel and Sean Harris!!! Big River won big in 1985 with 7 major Tonys. The Revival won a Tony Honors for Excellence in Theatre cos the whole production was so special - it was notable because it featured both deaf and hearing actors performing together. Amazing experience. Amazing! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_River_(musical) http://www.rogermiller.com/bigriver.html BIG RIVER MONTAGE - DEAF WEST THEATRE
