3 Strategies on How To Take Advantage Of Social Media
Korean fashion experts have shared their know-how with Malaysia. At the "K-Fashion Conference for Malaysia" in Kuala Lumpur on Feb. 16, a group of Korean professionals gave lectures under the topics "K-Fashion Design Trend Transition & Forecast," "Digital & Online Marketing Strategies," "Power Brand and Concept Development Strategies" and "How to enter the global market." The Korea Fashion Association, the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and the ASEAN-Korea Centre organized the event to strengthen the competitiveness of Malaysian fashion brands by improving the added value of the industry through brand development. About 50 Malaysian fashion industry companies and related government officials attended. "There is growing interest in K-fashion, along with the high popularity of Korean dramas and entertainment shows, making this workshop even more timely and meaningful," ASEAN-Korea Centre Secretary General Kim Young-sun said. "The Malaysian fashion industry has huge potential as it is currently ranked in the top five in the ASEAN fashion industry." On Feb. 15 and 17, Korean experts visited local fashion merchandisers for market research and consultations. According to the ASEAN-Korea Centre, the Malaysian fashion industry has had massive growth with the expansion of Islamic fashion markets. MATRADE aims to boost the industry as the nation's leading exporter. It has been organizing Malaysia Fashion Week (MFW) since 2014 to make the capital a fashion destination in Asia. The second MFW in 2015 featured designers from more than 15 countries, and over 300 booths showcased the quality products of Malaysian fashion brands to the domestic and foreign trade, accodring to the organization. The ASEAN-Korea Centre is an intergovernmental organization established in 2009 with an aim to promote exchanges among Korea and the 10 ASEAN member states.Read more at:www.marieaustralia.com/bridesmaid-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

HORIZON OF DISSOLUTION
All is NOT well in the grasslands. The animals are fit to be tied. The actions of the crafty wolves Have left the rest of them horrified. "How will we EVER be able To keep democracy afloat," The antelope asked, "if the wolves Don't allow us all to vote? "In many sections of these grasslands, Shameless wolves are doing their best To hold voter registration Hostage, keeping voters suppressed." "They aim to control voter turnout," The deer added. "That's their hope. Their sneaky ways to manipulate Elections push the envelope! “They stall and seek petty reasons To take names off voting lists. Fair and honest elections are In jeopardy if this persists.” "It's so close to election day, Our courts are reluctant to raise objections," The buffalo said. "Some of the wolves Are even running in the elections! "Humph! They stole a Supreme Court justice. Then they rammed another one through. Now they're still suppressing voters. What more damage will they do?" "Winnowing down voter rolls! Their strategies should be illegal!" The fox chimed in. Looking around, He asked, "Where is our dear friend Eagle?" The absent eagle wanted no Responsibility tied to her name. She couldn't stop the out-of-control Wolves, and hid her head in shame. -by Bob B (10-19-18)

Democracy in Crisis
Yes I go, yes go to seek a Great Apocalypse One that will unravel the complex elaboration of difference To articulate a perpetual aesthetic with violated codes Of the experience of illusions of temporal stimulus That are beyond all compass and soothe a fragmentation Oh Great Apocalypse of beauty whose deception finds strategies For youthful prodigality and binds me to your inarticulation An embodiment of beleaguered and charmed fictions Whose artifice is the governance of generous impulses As such sway about me with a harmony of moral disquiet Inadequate in description of the qualities of their oppression Yet oh great apocalypse there is a plausible generosity In these pale assumptions of impatience which carry The obligations of a universally shared human existence Compelling a projection of charged issues on competing claims For the enigmatic logic of life Yes Great Apocalypse now I understand all thought From Everywhere and for Always

Great Apocalypse
Don't knock what you've never tried Lock box with a heart inside Six shots from a forty five Punk rock makes you come alive Black-hawks in the clear blue sky It's ad hoc but you can just get by On Poprocks and cyanide Tick-tock time to decide What made you think that you could take me down? The method's flawed, but the strategies sound. What made you try to hold me back? I hope you're ready for the counter-attack. Backhand and you feel the heat Grandstand 'till you take a seat Kickstand just to keep your feet Firsthand watch you admit defeat

Punk Rock and Cyanide
The dried petals of a once green love snake through the beige carpet-- along with potato chips, along with icy ***** along with grey ash of cheapshit incense, my empire soles trample in after work. Susan smiles and tries to reheat the leftovers. Our bulging bellies match from a marriage of coping strategies, stretch mark'd and daydreaming of other seasons; sweat on foreign sheets, other napes; Mediterranean baby's breath, other scents; a choice between gardenia and gasoline, Susan's a liar. Of deceit--I've grown tired. Newspaper, newspaper bring me a bullet. Doorbell, doorbell bring me a blushing nomad in need of bruising. Ringtone, ringtone bring me DHS and an actual Friday. Susan tucks me in to the Lullaby of the Infomercial, her fingernail seeps into my lower lip. I roll onto my side.

With a Wrinkle, With a Stretch Mark
I miss my first love like a train I was supposed to catch years ago I've made my home on the station platform because now I'd rather just watch the trains go by I miss my first love like an appointment with a doctor that could have diagnosed me with the early stages of loneliness and cured me right then and there instead the illness settled in and every day I'm treating the symptoms while I search for a cure I miss my fist love like the bullseye on a dart board I don't even feel like playing the game anymore and my throws are getting more and more wild getting stuck in the wall and the floor I miss my first love and the way I loved when I didn't know what love was no tricks, no strategies just me, and her, and whatever that was when we were

You Have Forsaken Your First Love
God doesn’t care Is what you need to understand He set the world in motion Not hoping for your petty devotion So don't get this false notion That he loves you as a person We follow the same rules as other life We are ants on a higher level of complexity If you die in a car crash If you get cancer If your daughter jumps in front of a train If your children burn in hell He does not care. Or at least he certainly does not cry about it Its how he made the world So what can he say about it? I'm sorry? I didn't mean to? That's not the right answer. He knew what he was doing And now we eat his pudding (Creating laws for selection And effective strategies for a positive outcome Suffering is one of them - The reason it hurts is why it ******* works!) We are meaningless pieces of functional matter Wandering the world Hoping to find love and peace Just so that we could **** and raise children with ease. So Where is this all going? Making it way too confusing. Is there meaning to the Anthropocene Or is it just another random biological flourish Like the 99.9% of species that so helplessly perished No one knows We will have to wait and see Until then I think its best To try and enjoy the scene Just how God intended it to be Let's just hope he doesn't make it too obscene...

Reset (An Ode to Summoners War: Sky Arena)
A little birdy told me, hearts and souls are mouldy, Walk with me, talk with me on this journey of doubt, You'll question people and you'll question the drought, of honesty people lie about, because It's time to scout, For people of kindness on earth, From birth, I think I've been cursed It gets worse, as I rap this verse, I'm trying to explain how life can be complicated, Because we're all intoxicated, muffled in fumes of disease and fleas that cling onto your skin, Use the energy within, and repel them this is where your journey will begin, I've been searching for a moment or a pin, point in time, When these rhymes and lines will be classed as devine, as I perfect and refine, I'm just wondering how many times I can assign the same rhyme, so all sit back with a glass of wine, whilst I intertwine every line, lyrics so evil I'm committing a crime, maybe I'll get a statue, maybe a shrine, I need to switch it up so let's all decline, but you'll remember this verse as one of a kind. Whilst I'm standing still over this hill, I think of moments in life that gave me a thrill, But I remembered the pain and I remember the chill, Of the cold dampened hearts that never seemed to spill, Love or affection, like it's protection they need during the question, should I mention, you never gave me attention, Like the worlds in one convention and I'm stood outside looking in, I grin, whilst I use these forces buried within, to show people in verse what I mean, before the planet isn't green, before the seas collapse and wind is no longer a breeze, We freeze in an ice block, tick Tock, tick Tock we stopped the clock. But no body hears me so everyone listen up, Stop what you're doing and please raise a cup, For stopping global warming and extinction of animals, because we're all valuables on this tiny spec of galaxies, Yet governments plan strategies, to profit from the tragedies, they keep us all living in fantasies, but strike in catastrophes So let's help our families and all become one, before we've got none and everything we love and everything we feel is gone, Putting a bet on the apocalypse, odds are 10 to none, So hold hands with me now let's rejoice in song!

The World As We Know It (Rap)

Reflections of my self, my being, my person, my soul, Forever replayed, reshown, redone, reinacted For the fact is The strength that settles in my palms is ignited by the ignorance of man. Oh man oh man how corrupt and vile does your mind be Calculating and engineering plans and strategies That will never leave your mind, Free To be or not to be A mockerey Of your confused biology, which hysterically Questions your existence. A gift so great, Yet bronzed with your persistence to query the beauty I have given you, Which is life! Behind every man is a woman who loves and sacrifices their own needs and Necessities for happiness, Clarity and justice. A dancing cherubim dancing elegantly like a warm summer ray from your childhood Window. Revitilises, Re-energises, Re-grows, The root of your soul As if the buds of may. Honey toned, chocolate foamed Milky light, All pleasures for your delight. Spread on to one body of immaculate perfection Formed from Aphrodite's tears. But the woman, The woman possesses such omnipotent spiritual clasp on nature That if she was to know, Overstand Or Even accept a miniscule quantity of this knowledge Then-man-would-be-woman. To trap and encase a man like a rodent Is to burn a ring of fire around his finger that leads life to his heart, Where it beats impatiently to the tune of the womans song. Skin soft, eyes lost Sight of who I am, Many different descriptions -although similar- still not the same, But am I really to blame? For the insecurities that you have belittled on me. For my hair is long, Then short, Then short, Then none. My skin dark, Then light, Then light, But not right A constant fight, A battle to aim for the right kind of existence but even still I Exist! And realise whatever you insist, still I Exist, Which is that gift that i hold in my being here, Looking there At my elegant stare,, Which i dare To offend the image, which you have sought to be womanly. No longer do I fear my image As it is a powerful icon of modern day life To withstand the turbulent stresses and grind of strife To help a man. To have. A happy. WIFE!

Explosions in the sky That certain rush of words covered with ideas I am not so afraid of That simple touch of a pen poets picture as their current heaven And heaven lies within the lies where real people exist and in-concrete dust flies And flies surround the inner spaces between my heart and yours Those inter dimensional cracks that keep us alive together Yet those same cracks cause the Explosions in the sky When a million thoughts tremble under shattered glass And glass becomes rain over a nation That had no occupation A station Where all the emotions find a leak Where all the leaks lead to leisure The flood of blood narrated to form a spring out of Arab's fall And freedom is attained with the sound of Explosions in the sky When betrayal becomes the living scenario of a very normal human being Who believed that his sanctuary is in unison with his sanctions Strategies structured his not so subtle approach And after that he fell into her Explosions in the sky When a man loses his vision upon a mild smile When a cry for help becomes an invite for suicide Come…help me be the Portrait of clay you'll form with your delicate hands Shape my image And imagine a shape for my form Form a set for me to follow Follow my moves for if I fall of your track Track me back to the first point The playstation of life saves checkpoints Yet my life is full of glitches… For when I look at you I am supposed to be looking at you But all I'm seeing is Explosions in the sky When a trouble-free man becomes the complex notion of a firework Those little pieces of fiery smoke Grabs it And smokes the last buds of life out of his people The governor governing the covers he created To alienate the truth I found in your eyes And I shall never be mislead Instead I shall be steadfast and ready For you I shall be ready for you And your Explosions in the sky When a poet has no words left to write In the right time Literally the speaker is speechless He's too busy wondering in total observation The explosions… The explosions we create The skies that unveil And that little feeling of satisfaction With the last bits of an ink written Poem.

Shes no "Mustang Sally"
It was considered expedient To change the unit of measure To change scale, To make redundant all That could be wasted, Naturally. Internal communications Will contrive suitable verbs To conceal the brutality of profit To provide surety as required To the senior management team As for the rest: To those whose insecurities Are relied upon, whose Middles have expanded, aged Receded, human resources Will issue notice of packages And opportunities of relocation. The restructure will require The recruitment of some Of the hungry young; Fresh graduates on the newly Introduced basic scales. What of your work you enquire? Those value added strategies Of differentiation Of corporate responsibilities, Family friendly policies? In this age of austerity Such approaches, old man, Are as relevant as a hard drive, Or hard copy, this is a cloud Sourced post-crunch Twitterverse we inhabit, This is a time for new prospects This is cloud cuckoo land.

Memo following the takeover
Mental debates of moving on and Leaving the past, she dreams Of working things out to make Them last, she’s all too familiar With solitude, its wonders, Its dedication to her companionship They walk hand in hand Looking, staring at silhouettes, still vivid and bright as the day that she first opened Her eyes to Dalia smirks, truly hurt She watches in awe As he carefully places The pieces to the puzzle of A black and white field Strategies flow easily from behind The dam that is a set of porcelain eyes Sworn to secrecy only for self fulfillment Along the checkered floor she explored Boundaries she had never encountered He leads her as his pawn of choice Through torturous escapades against Rookie creatures and staggering Horsemen They wane on her chances of successfully Obtaining the crown of glory He pushes her forward with a touch Soft and soothing, no reason To doubt his reasoning She gives up the greatest of gifts, trust In his hands she quietly moves With no complaints, forward Out toward a troublesome mine field With every space she’s placed in She’s laced with waste traced with her Demise, he plays the creator, How humorous it seems The slightest sense of secure attachment Provides a false sense of security The way he touches her persuades Her he’ll never let her fall In his embrace she doesn’t see The smirk of disgust as his face Twisted, wretched and gruesome Grins at the only pleasure she provides him Empty bliss he can only wish to fill His grasp, once tender and warm Clenches down on her with splintering pain With silent screams of despair She comes closer to her peril Glimmering crown, in the scope of her sight The only sense of hope left in her mind The next move can be her last With only hopes of a clear road As he once again guides her Calm and steady with the kindness He once displayed when she Naïvely dreamt of how her life Truly should become Her struggles slowly ease away From the pain she once felt Never showed it even in the Biggest battles he lead her through Now she lay motionless alongside her Fallen obstacles in complete darkness Six cold silent walls surround Her in her slumber until another Cruel puppeteer falls across The coffin of demise and despair

It is another Sunday in the winter. I am properly tucked in my quilt. I browse through the top headlines of the hour. It says the temperature outside is two-degree centigrade and I quit all ideas of leaving my quilt. Sundays in winter were my favourite days and letting me play on Sundays my cookies for reading properly for six days. Those Sundays, which seem to be distant memories, are some of my best memories. Saturdays were the days of preparation. Arranging bats, ***** and bicycles, at least, four, deciding time and venue for the action, making strategies to sail us ashore- were some important tasks to be completed before. I used to sleep a bit early after setting up a thousand alarms, in case I missed a few, to ensure I woke up in the morning. and then I would make a few calls to wake up the crew. Though while gearing up, I would move as little as possible my Mom would always wake up and then I had to wear all the clothes ‘cause cold air made you susceptible to sick and sick made you feeble. Before I could leave home, I had to close the door as slowly as possible because I didn't want to wake up Dad for he was predictably unpredictable and it was too risky a gamble. We dared not look into uncles 'n aunties' eyes while asking our friends to come to play for their looks could terrorize anyone. We'd then go to the decided play- ground on the shared bicycles without delay. Quarrels to bat at the top, the endless running around to save a few runs, ‘barking’ on fellow players lest catches they drop, heated discussions on run-outs- these memories still give me goose bumps. The celebrations after winning the matches and blaming each other for losing were the customs of the day and mom made ‘chicken’ and a good after- noon nap - a perfect finish for a day to remember. A lifetime has gone by since we last played together and bade each other goodbye but those memories still lurking somewhere inside our brains adhere us together. I usually do not write about myself or my memories, which makes it special. Those days are some of my best memories. And in a cricket crazy country like ours, many definitely have similar memories. © Devashish Kumar

I used to sleep a bit early after setting up a thousand alarms, in case I missed a few, to ensure I woke up in the morning. and then I would make a few calls to wake up the crew. Though while gearing up, I would move as little as possible my Mom would always wake up and then I had to wear all the clothes ‘cause cold air made you susceptible to sick and sick made you feeble. Before I could leave home, I had to close the door as slowly as possible because I didn't want to wake up Dad for he was predictably unpredictable and it was too risky a gamble. We dared not look into uncles 'n aunties' eyes while asking our friends to come to play for their looks could terrorize anyone. We'd then go to the decided play- ground on the shared bicycles without delay. Quarrels to bat at the top, the endless running around to save a few runs, ‘barking’ on fellow players lest catches they drop, heated discussions on run-outs- these memories still give me goose bumps. The celebrations after winning the matches and blaming each other for losing were the customs of the day and mom made ‘chicken’ and a good after- noon nap - a perfect finish for a day to remember. A lifetime has gone by since we last played together and bade each other goodbye but those memories still lurking somewhere inside our brains adhere us together. I usually do not write about myself or my memories, which makes it special. Those days are some of my best memories. And in a cricket crazy country like ours, many definitely have similar memories. © Devashish Kumar

Are there strategies to displace binge eating with binge doing? Wouldn't it be swell to get $ for binge coding? something like: poem.each do |word| money = word.compose(your.wordstream) end More efficient monetizing of your thoughts. More efficient cars and buses. Correlarry: more paved roads, driveways and concrete surfaces, therefore, more runoff pollution. It's not the end game yet, but a vast, complicated middle game with closed centers and deep positional Play. Will our grandmasters make a mistake real-time playing?

Bingeing for Money
For in the algorithm of their minds lay deep strategies, But it's a maze to a sepulchre, a colonial mind with many rooms, where other men are lorded to their satisfaction For they stand in the courts, and declared to be like children their smiles far from sinister, but their minds create a haven like hell to those around, though they decorate the sky like the western sun, they burn the roses with their palms like the Libyan desert sun For their dearth of love, they carry out vengeance on the free spirited, they carry a ******* staff of justice, they are the town criers declaring who ought to be colourful, they crown the underserving and deserving, their tongue a tidal wave of envy, slander chokes their breath, loneliness fills their temple, hatred distills their roller coaster pain. Now I understand why roses wither, But even the crumbs of love in these cactus hearts will be taken away. - Ola Bajo

Roses Picked by Cactus Hands
***you are leathered with residue decaying the rust off your skin with our initials crawling into alabaster sheets that all I have really felt while staring out at the streets we're people fading by egotistical lack of self confidence even though I admit using seducing strategies possibly disgusted by my own emotions that I am placing ****** thrills on my own configuration because it's humid and blatant unkowling breathing ruthless sentiments of our holy communion I am splitting into a holy sin drenched in blissful wartime rations of water or passion your cotton skin and these sheets bold statements between white teeth it’s all a fading mystery you said I’m something childlike your hands are stained cherry and even if they were around my neck I’d whisper your name like a vesper simply waiting for the day to come where it all fades because you refuse to be a young god no matter how it seems to be to me in all of my naivety***

Cherry Naivety
The corridors are long with no diversions The way in which we walk is already known, Turn and go back will only hinder distance covered Forward progression burns through the heart. Whoever watching, why do we lose both ways? Can we even rise over all the soul piercing strategies? Take each step for money to be earned Lose every shred of integrity, or stand still, be kind and wither into a background number dissolving into the wallpaper of the inoffensive. The corridor is long, it gets darker and less enticing The way in which i walk is almost robotic in tone. The choice to turn back is an illusion believed to exist but i am unconvinced of this option anymore. Hide or be hid, the choice is there to be made, No footprint is allowed to influence, unless the influence is seen to add to what our leaders have printed in notes.

No Corners in Corridors
i’m the man who’s gonna wake up next to you slipping away, a non-starter, her leg crosses over mine, a right sided shakedown shackle, adhesion flesh as tough as old yellowed scotch tape sticking stuck no escaping, a known 6:00am risk when you sleep with a pre-advertised holy roller, twist and turner woman, making you into an unofficial woe-man (too) left hand grabs the lamenting instrument, the beat up iPad, to record your enslavement, a distraction from the bladder’s faint morn winking at you with a Cheshire grin, muffling a chuckle, at a predicament wonderful familiar, but unresolvable this situation, a category of life’s small measure of annoyances, invokes the wordy title, and a write-down list of pluses and minuses, which I’ll spare which o’witch be the longer list poems are where you find them, under your nose, looking out a city bus window, but sometimes like flypaper, they just come unasked and stick to you, the separating of the skin, like a too tight bandaid, ain’t worth the pain and freedom gained later, share this missive and her suggestion, she will prepare an NDA (a non-disclosure agreement)  or adopt other strategies like pushing me out of the bed without warning when i am typing , to witch and to wit, reply, ah! another poem commissioned, and *perhaps, name change too, needed, making love in the morning* 12/14/19

i’m the man who’s gonna wake up next to you
I ain't afraid to tell the world, That you make me, What I hate most. That the jellybean drops, Slippin' from your lips, Spread like, Dollops - Sweet butter, On toast. Can't hide my sticky fingers - Drippin' your, Candy residue. Though, I plan to make, The best of it, Before the moon is new. My sternest strategies, 'neath the night's eyes, Light my ***** little schemin', My plot to watch, Your every step, Before the moment, That I steal you. -- I've been eatin' jellies, Since I was little - Today, I've tasted so many, But, the ones that slip, (And, sometimes, skip) From that head,   Drive my thoughts, Out, much, Too selfishly.
