River Of Life and other murals

During Chinese New Year, a friend and I pergi Masjid Jamek untuk tengok River of Life.

Kalau turun LRT dekat Pasar Seni, kene berjalan sikit ke depan. Kami pilih stop sini sebab nak breakfast di Café Beskal. Kawan kata port orang-orang naik basikal makan breakfast, jadi deco dia pun ada basikal lama.

Kami memang dedicate hari tu hari jalan-jalan KL. Kalau nak betul-betul turun kat area mural tu, boleh turun dekat  LRT Masjid Jamek. I tengok mural di Masjid Jamek yang famous tu cantik dan terjaga.






Kami jalan sampai ke Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad. Masa tu dah tengah hari. Panas ya! Tapi dah alang-alang kami lawat jugalah. Bila lagi nak lawat, kan?

Tapi kami terlepas untuk lihat kolam ikan at one corner of the sidewalk, close to a bridge sebab kami tak nampak semasa berjalan ke arah Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad.  

Boleh tengok waktu malam pula macam mana view River of Life nanti. Kalau tengok gambar lagi cantik sebab ada effect lampu dan mist tu lebih menarik.



Plan asal, kami nak berjalan sampai ke Jalan Alor tapi sebab panas sangat tengah hari tu, kawan yang park kereta dekat area Pasar Seni decided kami naik kereta je ke sana.

Mural di Jalan Alor tidaklah terjaga seperti di Masjid Jamek. Ada satu bahagian kena lalui kawasan lorong belakang, dan mural ada di seluruh dinding flat tersebut. Yang tak bestnya, ada sedikit bau tak enak la sebab kurang terjaga laluan lorong tu.




Di satu bagunan lain, warna mural mula pudar, tak sure sebab apa, mungkin kualiti paint yang digunakan atau ramai sangat pengguna jalan dekat situ jadi warna di atas jalan tu pun cepat pudar.

Ada one part pula, mungkin akan ada penambahbaikan. Sebab nampak macam ada a bit of construction dekat corner.

Kalau anda ada family anak kecil, I recommend pergi visit street arts dekat Masjid Jamek sahaja.

If you orang dewasa, tak kisah condition tak selesa around Jalan Alor, tapi nak pergi tengok mural di situ, then proceed lah. Some part ada juga mural yang cantik.

A friend told me later, she said street arts Jalan Panggung also worth a visit. Tengoklah, jika ada public holiday yang dah tak tahu nak buat apa lagi, boleh la visit nanti J

The Role of Writing in Cultivating Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

As we go through life and deal with all sorts of emotions, writing can be a really helpful way to pause and reflect. Putting things down on paper helps us make sense of how we’re feeling. That’s why in psychology, they always advise to engage in regular journaling or reflective writing, as it can help us process emotions, gain clarity, and develop a greater understanding of our thoughts and behaviours and invites individuals to explore their feelings without judgment. Journaling can serve as a personal outlet, allowing someone to vent about a tough day and process their emotions. Writing is more than just a way to express thoughts or share ideas.

Nagomi Art : Hope and Healing

 I decided to try a Nagomi Art session just out of curiosity. Honestly, I’m not great with art, drawing, or even picking colours. But since I had some free time and the workshop was free, I thought, why not? After the class, I got curious and started digging into its history. Here's what I found: Norikatsu Hosoya, the founder of Nagomi Art, was inspired by a deeply personal experience involving a close friend who was seriously ill. During his friend's hospitalization, Hosoya created a pastel artwork of cherry blossoms to lift his friend’s spirits. He accompanied the gift with an invitation to see real cherry blossoms together once his friend recovered.  The gesture of hope and healing left a profound impact when they eventually fulfilled this promise. This episode opened Hosoya's eyes to the potential of art as a tool for emotional healing and a source of optimism, which later became a cornerstone of the philosophy behind Nagomi Art. 7 Facts about Nagomi Art 1. Origins: N...

Can Non-Office Workers Burn Out Too?

 When we hear the word burnout, most of us picture someone in a corporate job, stuck in traffic every morning, glued to a screen all day, drowning in emails, meetings and work desk from 9 to 5. Sounds familiar, right? But here’s the thing. Burnout doesn’t care whether you’re in a fancy office or out in the field. In fact, people who don’t work in traditional office settings often face a different kind of pressure such as physical strain, unpredictable hours, emotional labour, or unstable income, and that can burn you out just as fast, if not faster. So let’s talk about other fields of work burnout, the kind that hits NGO field workers, delivery riders, retail staff, event crews, and freelancers. Because their stories relatable too. 1. NGO Field Officer  Lina has been working with a local humanitarian NGO for the past three years. Her role mainly involves community outreach in rural and underserved areas, Orang Asli villages, flood-affected zones, and low-income flats around Kl...
