Hainanese Kopi-O A place to share, keep events and thoughts.

My first attempt on crochet myself a hat that took me more than 3 months to complete. Now it look like a giant cotton shower cap or restyle it to a purse. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry…

I had early lunch today to view National Laureate poet Datuk A.Samad Said sketches at Petronas Art Gallery. Awesome ink sketches on napkins. A simple man of few words when he is in the bookstore, this is the place I frequently bump into Datuk A. Samad Said. I stay silent and move quietly if he is around, not that he is frightening but overwhelmed by his humbleness despite his fame and influence as a National Laureate. In fact he is a Living National Treasure. Visit Bibliobibuli blog post for more details. Photo of Datuk A. Samad Said is available here.
