I am a consummate dabbler in creative arts and constant re-inventor of self. A #journalist for 14 years, now a #writer, #editor and pen-for-hire. Have concluded my first TV series!
For fun, I can be found #writing or #narrating on the collaborative storytelling site #Storium, or reading the #tarot. My first novel about grief and ghosts was shortlisted for Fixi Novo's Malaysian Novel Contest.
Old phone booths in George Town, #Penang , abandoned by Telekom #Malaysia have been converted into pop up libraries with signs (and presumably books as well) in multiple languages...
Fusion Wayang Kulit is a cool group fusing traditional Wayang Kulit (Shadow Puppets) with modern characters to keep the art alive.
"Fusion Wayang Kulit says it will continue its efforts to preserve the typically Malay cultural tradition of wayang kulit for the enjoyment of all Malaysia's races and religions."
Photos of a Cream-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus simplex) taken in Johor, Malaysia, recently. There were a few of them in the area, but I could only get clear shots of this individual.
I think my favourite bird shots from this trip to Perak, Malaysia in March 2019 are these of a pair of Scaly-breasted Munias (Lonchura punctulata) and a juvenile member of the family. They were perched on a tree just outside the garden and allowed me to get closer (about 1.5 metres) to them to take these shots.
