Phallic offerings to the princess of the rock, Railey Beach, Thailand.


Stumble upon this sand sculpture at Riley Beach. A very beautiful stretch of sandy beach surrounded by amazing limestone formation, during my visit to South of Thailand in December 2007.
Sculptor- unknown, because nobody is around.

Nostalgia Colony

Taking a break
One of our past time at the colony: playing cards. The regulars as you can see in the painting by Sam, are Harris, Mus, Man Banting and yours truly at far right. Regular onlookers are Ajis and Din Belanda. This painting are done impressionistic style in 2005, The giant tapioca tree that create the shade and the fountain behind are gone, replaced by a huge cemented parking lot, which reduced the serenity of the colony. What a waste.

The Storm of Malaysian Art

Harris Ribut.
My brother at the Colony. A kind and gentle artist. Harris or 'Ayes' is well known for his Fat ladies series. Ayes pick up painting quite late after going through many phases in life. This ex reporter manage to start with a boom when his works are sought by collectors both local and abroad, compared to some painters who began much more earlier.His fat ladies, mostly in oils have a certain appeal, where it bring out the beauty and gracefulness in the large and massive human form.
I miss having our usual tea after work, since I left the colony.
To view his works and meeting the artist, give him a visit at the Artist Colony, K.L Malaysia.
To Ayes,... He ain't heavy......, He's my brother.....
