This Sunday I attended a performance poetry and private event of readings by distinguished playwright Kee Thuan Chye.Iam a huge fan of his creative writing since varsity days.He uses Manglish in his writings and exemplifies local Malaysian use of patois .i enjoyed the poetry he wrote from the more personal expressions of affection to his deep love of his country like An even chance.
really liked the black and white photos displayed especially the moody subtle ones by Eric Peris or the smoky atmosphere in a shophouse or the natural landscape of Langkawi.
the event really stirred up my latent creative juices so im going back to my painting or writing again.I think its good to get out of my comfort zone sometimes and before complacency dulls my mind.
A dream come true as i got Kee to autograph the two plays he wrote.just wish he stages them here agajn .He reminds me of an older version of Namewee,using Malaysian identity to tell his tale to the world.paling best lah
