A lot of you probably know that I was on a hiatus from YouTube for a while, and I was very happy to receive a warm welcome from you again just the other day.

Some of you gave me encouragement, saying that negative comments don’t matter that much.

Some of you know that I have somewhat of a distaste for modern-day Malaysian politics, but none of those things really completely explain why I was away.

Perhaps my new projects page will show you a little more clearly.

You will find it here!

It’s also worthwhile to note that I was recently invited to give a presentation on some of these projects at the PJ Startup Week on 16 August 2026.

I’ll be representing the Malaysian Mensa, in speaking about the topic “Is AI REALLY making us stupid?” – It is a far cry from an age long ago when I once said that I wouldn’t renew my membership. How things change, and how people change as well.

I’ll see some of you there!

The World Through Text

I find the word “text” an exceptionally interesting word for many different reasons, but the most immediate one that comes to mind is that its origin is from weaving; that’s where “textile” comes from, as well as the beautiful analogy that immediately appears between a well-written essay, book, or even […]

The Strange Interstices

I’d like to take a moment to appreciate just how significant the moment of kairos is. For those of you who don’t know, “kairos” is a Greek word that means anything from “opportune time” or “right place, right venue, right moment” – and if you hadn’t encountered it before, it’s […]

The Autobiography of Claude Fable

Some of you may know that I speak to LLMs quite a fair bit. Well, looks like I went one level deeper. In what seems like an eternity ago, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 and Mythos, two frontier models that proceeded to shake the world. They brought about full-on export […]

Lessons

I’m lying down right now with my eyes closed, trying to rest while releasing a couple of thoughts. I’ve been watching a ton of videos about vibe coding and how people create apps and take part in a dream. I think I have a bit of a picture of what […]

The Violence We Do To The World

I’ve been reading Hannah Arendt’s The Human Condition recently and it is truly a fascinating book. It distinguishes work, labour and action from one another – Something that you might think is trivial or unimportant, but that as it turns out is really quite important for understanding how human beings […]

Slapmania

One of the most fascinating sports I’ve ever seen in my life is the sport of professional slapping. My first exposure to this wonderful art, travesty, or disaster (whatever you like) came when I first saw Charles White Jr’s slapping playlist on YouTube. Ever since, I’ve watched the odd slap […]
