On to something very recent.
Just a few hours ago me and family went to this place in Bukit Damansara or Damansara Heights.
The place is called Galeri Chandan, the Chandan art gallery.
We came for a function invited by a friend.
Notice the Arabic writings? The one on the right spelt the word "Nuqtah".
Also (and more popularly) spelt as Noktah, it literarily refers to the full stop.
"Nuqtah" here refers to a currently running art exhibition. While the word still refers to the full stop, as title to the exhibition it carries a richer philosophical meaning. The organisers waxed lyrical about how from a full stop written or drawn as a point it can be extended to become a line and many other things.
"Nuqtah" the exhibition features works of khat (excuse the pun... :]), Islamic caligraphy by six Malaysian artistes well-versed in the field...
Seen to the left are some of the artistes.
My wife (in blue) posing with some friends.
An artiste showing his work (not part of the exhibition) on a giant sea shell.
The girls posing with artistes (all male) and another visitor.
OK. This exhibition was started two weeks ago and is scheduled to end in another two days...
We were invited to the launching on 27th April but could not make it due to other commitments.
Yesterday they organised a buka puasa or breaking fast function alongside the exhibition and this time we could make it.
There, people waiting for time to break fast.

Salam Radzie..
Sangat menarik, nampak sangat artistik karya2 tersebut..
A tiny correction my friend, not from sunrise till sundown. Sunrise is syuruk, that marks the end of Subh/Fajr prayer time. A better word could be dawn, although not that precise as 5 am is also dawn. :)
Wassalam. Mekasih atas teguran. Tak fikir betul2 masa tulis tu. Rasa macam ryhme plak sunrise till sundown...
