Blooger Mrs.Roti Kachang Merah (RKM) texted msg me to come & see hubby Zunar's cartoon exhibition in conjunction with the World Press Day at the Pasar Budaya aka the Central Market Kuala Lumpur on the 5 & 6th.May 2007 .(For readers' info I had 'bumped' into RKM's blog (forgotten how it happened) not long time ago & when she mentioned in her posting Zunar is her hubby, it gave me a pleasant surprise.I left her a comment in one of her posting & later we exchanged emails. Told her Zunar was a friend way back in my UTM Jln.Gurney KL years in the 80's. She said why not come & meet up with him since you guys are old friends. Coincidence?Had I not 'bumped' into her in the cyber world I wouldn't have the chance to see Zunar again.When I phoned Zunar "I was the architecture student in Kg.Bharu", alas he remembered but with wrong descriptions..tsk tsk!So this was the time to 'show face'.)
So that Sunday the 6th.May 2007 left my car at the Putrajaya Sentral & took the Rapid bus (actually the idea of going by bus was to 'try out' the bus service from Putrajaya to KL ) to the Pasar Budaya on a RM3 one way ticket (return ticket RM5 but I intend to go back by LRT or ERL instead).
As usual it was 'happening' at the Pasar Budaya. There was music at the adjoining space between the Pasar Budaya building and the Annex. (One of the performers was a young musician named Farouk who had played his angklung to the tune of Irwan Shah song "Pencinta Wanita".Will write a posting later about this). Zunar's cartoon exhibition was on the upper floors of the annex block. When we met only then Zunar realized it was 'me' the 'kawan lama' (old friend). Wife Mrs.RKM, the architect was introduced & akin to her blog postings she was warm & friendly. I was also introduced to Sonia (one of) the important person behind the CIJ's exhibition and Jonos a young cartoonist. Most of Zunar's cartoons were from the Harakah etc. I would say this was a good and meaningful effort from CIJ.
