composing in Malaysia

it's been nearly a month since I came back. I have to admit that it's been really difficult to keep up with the things going on around me...

Today I took some time to say hello to old friend, Yasmin Rasyid, at her Ecofilm fest in Universiti Malaya. It's already the fourth time that Yasmin is successfully organising this annual event (which is her brainchild).



I must also mention that I met with former student, Wong Pui May, who was 'manning' her Traffic booth. Pui May looked as bright as usual and I think she's doing a great job for the wildlife.


Lunch in Bangsar at a place that looked more like a museum than a restaurant. The food tasted like something that I would have at a friend's place. Lovely place.

Recently, I went to Miri to collect firefly specimens for my student to take to Finland (for research OK). Musa Masbah and Faisal Musa were our hosts there.



A melanau woman trying to sell ikan pari to me... just moments before the men landed the catch onto the jetty and this pasar is located right beside the jetty and the sellers were mostly women.
