Minang is 'Minangkabau', a clan in Sumatra. The clan has a symbiotic relationship with the buffalo, or 'kerbau' in Malay or 'korobau' or 'kobau' in the Minang dialect. 'Minangkabau' is derived from 'menang kerbau' -- win buffalo. The Sumatran clans pitch their buffalos against each other, and the Minangs have the reputation of having the fastest buffalos in Sumatra. This blog isn't much use to anyone else though. There are no revelations and no discussions -- just a Minang's folly.

Batu Arang is GV's hometown
We went to shoot in Batu Arang ... GV's hometown. A place full of history.

April 12 2010
It's been so long since the 5 of us have been together. This picture is so important to me because we've never had a family portrait. It's a shame that it took Dad's serious medical condition for us to get together.

A lot of fuss
I don't know where this country is going to ... surely it's not going forward very fast with people so determined to keep it in some tight and narrow path to .... to ... oblivion.
At the risk of sounding agnostic ... or even atheist, I am bewildered that we are fighting to holding on to 7th century beliefs ... Muslims and Christians alike.
Is it not possible to live in this century?

It's going to be a bad year
I was hoping that today, the first day of 2010, would be a event-less day. Because December 30th brought an 'invitation' from MCMC for a bit more questioning on the kepala lembu (Hishammuddin Onn) video which I had to attend yesterday, Dec 31st. So it looks like kepala lembu's agency will take us to court because he had put his hooves into this mouth. What irony!
Then Uthaya, whom we had given so much coverage (+ Hindraf), declared Hindraf was suing us. Fucking ingrate! So we'll be spending a good part of 2010 in the corridors of the court covering cases against us.
But if that wasn't enough, my Mrs goes and put petrol in our diesel engined Fiat! And I was just hit with a RM4,300 repair bill on the car for a screwed aircond system! These are not omens because they are too blatant. 2010 will be a fucked up year for me.
