Replying to @speechleyish
Some truly lovely photos from last week's Malayan Classicism book launch by Chan Hao Ong. I'm tremendously grateful to the URA for making this event possible, and to the NUS ArCLab for providing such a beautiful venue for the launch of my book.

Had a lot of fun chatting with @rachman_joseph for his great piece on a topic very close to my heart: the rich, but often overlooked, heritage of my hometown Kuala Lumpur asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Pic…

City of mashups: Kuala Lumpur's cool architectural heritage

As the year comes to a close, like many people I find myself taking stock. By all measures, it’s been a great year. I launched my first book, visited archaeological sites I’ve wanted to see since I was a child, swam in new seas, and saw places that brought me to tears.

Anyways I reckon I won’t be on here much in the new year. If we’re mutuals, feel free to shoot me a message if you’d like to stay in touch elsewhere. If not, know that I’m grateful for you all, and all that I’ve learnt from you.

Isn't this fragment a bit shaped like Australia? It is a piece of Dharmaraksa's translation of the Lotus sutra, excavated by the Otani expeditions at Khara-khoja.
