a private dinner at my art gallery

Our old classmates come together once every 2~3 months. Last weekend we had a Malay Home Cook dinner for the gathering and it was delicious. What is on the menu?.... beef rendang, curry fish, mixed vegetable..... and my classmate's wives brought chicken in BBQ sauce and baked a lovely birthday cake for all the June, July and August babies!


it has often been said that ".....art feeds the soul..."

Just before dinner was served, I gave a guided tour around the gallery and told them that Tun Dr Mahathir (former Prime Minister) officiated the opening of our art gallery. Everyone had their own opinions on the paintings. They were so shocked by a young emerging artist who displayed a 2 dimension artwork that cost RM50K! Most of them bedazzled by a Korean's conceptional art. It is not easy to comprehend unless one is an interlectual art enthusiast. After viewing all the paintings....dinner was served

yum..yum...today we are not on diet la....


everyone was busy.....makan...makan...

A friend in need, is a friend indeed



Just two days before my artist friends arrive with their paintings. My personal assistance met a motorbike accident on a rainy day. He twisted his left foot and was in great pain. I'm so glad that AP came to help me at my art gallery. Though it was his first time working in an art gallery, we managed to hang 61 pieces of art! Some of the paintings were huge and heavy with glass frame

AP being a diver had so much energy to climb up and down the ladder as he hang the paintings and also helped to adjust 61 spotlights. We resumed work immediately after lunch and dinner without even taking a break. We worked tirelessly and there wasn't a word of complaint from him. Even his friends called him on his cellphone, he declined to meet with them as he was committed to get the art gallery ready! He was with me right to the end

AP.....terima kasih banyak2
