Asian Cartoon Exhibition






Went back late yesterday. Woke up at 12.15 p.m. and had my brunch with my roommate. We were having a very brief discussion on the Pengkalan Pasir by-election on Dec 6. He had to conduct the survey on this issue. I believed that BN stands a good change by promoting “Development if you choose BN”. But I hope I am wrong. We used to have our banana leaf in Archa Curry, home-made style India restaurant. Cost me around RM8 for one fried fish and three vegetables. After all, I had to find my way to the Asian cartoon exhibition. I am not really crazy about manga. But the topic of this exhibition caught my interest.

I went to the KL library near Merdeka Square, only to find out that the exhibition is held in National Library. Ahh…..had to pay for the RM2 parking fee for nothing. Then, I tried to find the way there. Guess where I was this time? National Art Gallery Center….. Since I was there, “why not pay a visit” I whispered to myself. Then, saw a signboard writing [Work in Progress]. Never mind, just had a snapshot on the painting about footballer (pic. 5). After that, I had decided to walk to the National Library. Not far way from where I was.

“How’s IT in Asia?”

This is the topic for the 9th Asian Cartoon Exhibition. I managed to take only 5 pictures until the security guard said to me, “Camera is not allowed here”. The Asian countries that involved in this exhibition are Malaysia, Japan, Korea, India, Filipina and China.

“Soccer Game” or “Soccer”….
Youngsters nowadays prefer to play soccer on the computer rather than on the pitch.

“Dream to be a Singer” (pic. 4)
Anyone can become a singer with the help of technology.

“WWW”
World Wide Web but peoples are actually all alone.

........ ^__^

Overall, cartoonists from Japan seem to be optimism that technologies or ITs are helping our daily life. Others have made a point that physical human interaction will be minimized due to the booming of ITs. With the sense of humors by the cartoonists, it is worth to pay a visit. I recommend those who stay in KL to have a look by yourself. It’s not too late to do that!
