I had a great city excursion today with two good friends. It is true when they say that it is not what or where or when, it is about who you are with that matters for they bring different context and fresh perspectives of seeing things.
And today, I don't want to 'steal' the creativity of these graffiti artists with some intelligent messages, but I would like to present you how this city of ours, Kuala Lumpur is getting interesting be it for the good or bad of it. Long live freedom of expression!
Anyway, this is my first posting in Blog It, a Facebook application developed by Six Apart, my blogging service provider. Damn cool! You can be on Twitter or Movable Type or Blogger and be able to publish once from Facebook and goes to your blogging system without double entry work.
Anyway, you will notice DSA (Defense Service Asia) in a couple of the photos here. Read more about it here: http://www.antenna.nl/~amokmar/publicaties/2002/nottomatos.html
Talking about arms made me relate my mind to the cab driver who took me to Mutiara Damansara earlier. The cab driver who has just started driving cab in KL is a retired army. He was telling me it is no longer attractive to join the armed forces these days as the polices are "GETTING" more money and can give relatively better live upon retirement compared to retired army who have to drive cabs for example or as my good friend mentioned some become security guards, earning less than 400 a month!
It is really is Kuala Lumpur public outcry! Damn the system!
The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride f*cking with you. F*ck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.

Yeah, I remember those graffiti and bummer that didn't take pictures when they were there. Maybe the City Hall has new plan for these artists or these new displays near Petaling Street and Dataran Merdeka are protests from them?

You know, maybe a couple of months ago, had you taken an LRT towards KLCC from Kelana Jaya, you would have seen a massive wall of graffiti opposite the Pasar Seni train station, next to the river.
It's gone now; they whitewashed it just after the elections. My greatest regret was that I had no way or recording what was on that wall before they came and whitewashed it away.
