Text of the page (random words):
ired i thought she beautifully fleshes out the skeletons sitchin dug out of humanity s closet or was it just mother hubbarb s cupboard the ancient gods of sumer enki enlil ninhursag who later became the ancient gods or neteru of egypt babylon assyria canaan judaea and india and later peru and the mayalands are resurrected skillfully and empathetically by ms ferguson and integrated into a contemporary context this is what makes her inanna books so valuable she transforms the mythical into modern mystery teachings of irresistible cogency and veracity she makes us understand as in a gratuitous epiphany exactly why we are the way we are part of it was a genetic legacy of the gods who manufactured us from the silly putty of simian dna the rest of it was pure bad luck or evil karma or hubris or whatever but there is a way out of the evolutionary predicament we re in we have to awaken from our cultural trance our religion induced spiritual somnambulism be jolted out of our collective amnesia back into anamnesis into full recollection of who we truly are as an epilogue of sorts i have to include shahnon ahmad s political shit stirrer the ingeniously titled shit i confess that i have only read portions of it a testimony of how basic my bahasa skills are but from the little i have savored i can feel the tradition shattering force of shahnon s poker faced prose which reminded me in places of samuel beckett s 1950s experiments with literary nihilism but in shahnon s case the prime concern is obviously not so much with nothingness the void the vacuity of human existence but with the forced evacuation of our political innards we ve seen all kinds of movements here but the ultimate goal is to achieve healthy and regular bowel movement it takes real guts to do that and in these dark and rumbling days of borborygmic unease when the whole nation seems divided between those who dwell froglike in their own bloated yellow bellies and those who aspire towards the higher mind or a return to the soul it cheers me up immeasurably like a well pitched burp or perfectly timed fart every time i see shit prominently displayed in all the mamak newsstands can anyone tell me why the mamaks seem to have a monopoly on sales of shahnon s history making novel roti canai and teh tarik not enough ah shiterature oso wan ah posted in december 1999 on artisproactiv yahoo

the movie posted on august 20 2012 by antares maitreya title malacca gold author wayne stier publisher meru publishing pages 369 isbn 983 99152 0 7 my trusty britannica describes ophir as an unidentified region famous in old testament times for its fine gold in the time of king solomon circa 920 b c ophir was thought of as being overseas the jewish historian josephus evidently understood that india was the location of ophir how does this relate to mount ophir now known as gunung ledang which straddles the border of malacca and johore was this landmark peak named after an original mount ophir located in the pasemah highland of sumatra where english mining engineers found ancient gold mines dating back at least 3 000 years could this have been the true location of king solomon s legendary mines farfetched as it may sound at first the notion isn t altogether preposterous otherwise wayne stier s rambunctious but highly readable romp through malacca s intriguing past and present could simply be dismissed as a darn good yarn spun by a texan gunslinger turned punstringer who happens to write in a hammock with a laptop on top of his lap on the veranda of a house in a coconut grove on the beach of an island in the gulf of thailand this might explain mr stier s swinging style which gleefully combines swashbuckling adventure and historical romance with a dash of mystery treasure hunt travelog with a generous dollop of vaudeville comedy maverick scholarship guaranteed to annoy the dour academic with straight talking in your face satire but pure whimsy alone would not have fired the author s imaginative flair to such a compelling degree of literary ardor and passion stier is quite clearly convinced that he has stumbled upon a mystery of mind boggling significance yet he has opted for a flamboyant flippant tone and further protected himself by attributing the entire manuscript to an ex colleague and barmate named edwin prebble who in turn credits the story to a certain ms cindy anna from montana salivatingly described as a luscious statuesque woman with long blonde hair long supple legs powerful lapis eyes stunning hmmm who do we cast in that role kim basinger sharon stone uma thurman daryl hannah can t wait to see the movie maybe if steven spielberg turns it down wayne stier will offer the film rights to me malacca gold undoubtedly has all the ingredients of a big time hollywood box office hit the epic action sweeps across time and space starting on an island in southern thailand we re taken on a dizzy disneyland ride to munich a beach resort in spain then on board a gas tanker bound for tokyo our heroine cindy anna accidentally falls into the malacca strait and gets rescued by a boatload of amateur gudang garam clove cigarette smugglers after a brief sojourn in a hormonally charged malay village she meets the dramatis personae of the majestic hotel alfonso fernandes dominique d abreu jimmy ng arthur rangjit percival wiggins and vijay the newshound who take turns guiding us on a whole gamut of magical mystery history tours here s what you get for the price of your ticket malacca before during and after the portuguese medieval china the revolt of the red eyebrows shaolin temple ta i ch i chuan kungfu monks and the rise of the chinese triads mesopotamia ptolemaic egypt phoenicia palestine damascus the dead sea scrolls cryptic gold inventories the knights templar and the secret history of freemasonry madagascar the solomon islands and pulau upeh a nondescript isle off the malacca coast somehow there s even space and time for a few poignant chinese immigrant vignettes like tai tai bong and lucky lim s amazing lifestories set against the soap opera backdrop of malacca s baba and nyonya families and the hellish horrors of the japanese occupation stier manages to conjure a constant undercurrent of mystery in his copious history with titillating references to magical kris wavy bladed malay daggers gileega stones usually spelt geliga bezoar stones associated with dragons the mythical guardians of subterranean hoards batu pahat gold reputedly the finest in the world and apocryphal speculations about the cabalistic keys of solomon and the precession of the equinoxes among the colorful and everchanging cast of characters in malacca gold two are particularly memorable the young portuguese troubadour chef duarte fernandes and retired planter percival wiggins duarte fernandes is portrayed as a prototype forrest gump besides playing romantic lead to the beautiful 16 year old firebrand anyi daughter of utimuti rajah duarte is credited with among other things introducing the joget and red hot chili peppers to malacca high society penning the lovesong that would later be adopted as malaysia s national anthem and donating a drummer dwarf named captain universe panglima awang to fernao magalhaes better known as ferdinand magellan the first world circumnavigator anyi and duarte s foredoomed liaison parallels the ill fated passion of putri ledang for her lover dua note the coincidental similarity of the names duarte and dua putri ledang of course was the love maddened princess and sorcerer s daughter of malay legend after whom mount ophir was renamed stier s portrait of percival wiggins as the archetypal expatriate gentleman scholar raconteur is charmingly crafted sir alec guinness would have been the ideal choice for this plum role the fact that planter wiggins the embodiment of the late classical european mind at its scientific and encyclopedic best is named after the percival or parsifal of the grail quest is significant it reinforces the intricate interlocking motifs of all major planetary myths lost kingships lost civilizations lost treasure lost keys to the mystery lost stories lost meanings wiggins is a crucial lynchpin of this multi layered meandering tale indeed his solid characterization anchors the more exotic sub plots in the realm of the credible despite her obvious sex appeal cindy anna from montana not indiana emerges as a perfectly edible sorry credible and well developed central figure pun intended if only as an example of the spicy ribaldry that seasons stier s storytelling indeed she comes across as a fine embodiment of feisty free spirited femininity adventurous intelligent imbued with an earthy spirituality when she describes ch i as that mysterious force in the universe that causes water to ripple and mountains to fold that puts the spin in planets and makes stars explode and then reform within our bodies she makes perfect poetic profound sense the quest for buried treasure the thematic thread which links the diverse characters in malacca gold acquires an altogether deeper alchemical meaning in the light of many such metaphysical epiphanies hidden throughout the text author wayne stier in his hawaii home however it is as a veteran writer of travel documentaries that stier s prose flows most comfortably the cinematic detail of his descriptions of malacca and its street life are among the most animated and vivid i ve read naturally he couldn t resist throwing in a satirical montage of current affairs images culled from reading the local newspapers the great malacca drought of 1991 and the two million ringgit high tech rainmaker scam receive prominent attention along with grisly gossip inspired by mona fandey the infamous killer witch and the private shenanigans of people in public office occasionally the narrative flow is broken by the interjection of painful puns and sophomoric sexual innuendoes which of course the reader must blame on gin and tonic loving ed prebble recording angel and interlocutor ed comes across as an incorrigible pedant with his poker faced pseudo academic footnotes signed ed ed alas ed s pedantry is sometimes unjustified as his facts are not always impeccably researched for instance ed informs the reader that malayan independence was declared in a ceremony in the center of malacca on august 31 1957 this isn t completely correct the imminent granting of merdeka independence was announced in malacca on february 18 1955 but the actual merdeka ceremony was staged in the national capital kuala lumpur more than two years later jacques de molay in a brilliantly succinct chapter on the advent of the knights templar as the first international bankers stier or rather ed misspells the name of the first grand master hugues de payens as well as the last jacques de molay who was burnt at the stake on the orders of king philip le bel and died cursing the french monarchy but these are trivial complaints when weighed against the sheer entertainment value and little gems of gritty witty insight malacca gold provides for example cindy anna on her short stint as a sidewalk mime takes a lot of concentration to stand still i never realized how much we use speed to help keep our balance i think that s why so many people are afraid to slow down afraid of crashing it takes guts to do nothing i won t vouch for the originality of the following quirky quip but i liked its sparkle he calls himself a heinz 57 breed a mixture of a little english stock dutch and probably some orang asli the aboriginal people of the malay peninsula alfonso hinted that there might also be an orangutan swinging around in dominique s family tree is there anyone on earth who can deny that we all have a primate or two swinging around in our family tree after all recent paleo anthropological evidence suggests that the adamic race may have been created by the sky gods nefilim from the planet nibiru symbolized by the winged orb of the sumerians assyrians egyptians and the splayed cross of the templars specifically to mine for gold isn t that why men and women too have always been obsessed with the metal of the gods personally i found wayne stier s fantastic patchwork of short and tall stories so engaging and enjoyable i would have happily kept the malacca and forgotten about the gold but who knows the world may soon be queuing for the movie version thereby inspiring mr stier to switch from gudang garam to lucky strike read wayne stier s memoirs stars when the sun shines book review for the star written in 1996 in june 2009 i received an email from mars cavers wayne s wife and lifelong traveling companion informing me that wayne had succumbed to the cancer he had been diagnosed with in his early twenties seizing life with superhuman passion wayne stier was extremely productive till his death at the age of 62 churning out travelogs novels plays and metaphysical poetry he even tried his hand at woodcarving and sculpture and did a few tours as an itinerant monologist and raconteur i dedicate this post to an old pal who made a few
