RIDE & READ


First,let me thank Dato' Seri Dr Zaini Ujang for starting this initiative since January 2016 for our cycling group.Yesterday was our second time and first event for the year 2017.I hope we can do this event once every two months.

Most of our group members read books regularly and enjoy reading as much as we enjoy cycling.However,to most of us,reading is a private affair.


Reading a selected portion of the book is an explicit way of sharing what we read,what we think,what we learn.This exercise is also good for listening.In fact,listening is more difficult than reading.


The more books we read do not eaual to the more knowledge we gain.However,good conversations about what we read may lead us to the path of knowledge and hopefully we shall arrive at the citadel of wisdom.


"There is no short cut to knowledge and learning.Knowledge is not citations.Learning is not quotations.
Knowing is understanding and understanding is to act in accordance to knowledge, i.e. the becoming true to the meanings at which the intellect has arrived."-Prof Dr Muhammad Zainy Uthman.

Let the photo speak first?

  Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

  Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
