hhmmm

....Hi DRD, I have a good friend here in Germany. He is a computer's freak. I guess he can help me to show you a line of flying bird on this keris.

But anyway, Who is Alan? Is he dangdut's singer? (I like dangdut).
Sorry Alan, wherever you are. Because some guys keep writing me your name in my subject forum.....and I STIL DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Please, don't be angry will you?

Hi DRD, Maisey is same as ALAN right?
GUYS, I'm just new member in this forum.
(some name are mixed up, ALAM...ALAN.....ETC).
But Lelang is one of my favourit name. Because this name is familiar to me

Sorry Brekele...yes, Alan is A.G. Maisey...sorry for the confusion.

A dangdut singer...now that is funny!

Hi Alan, sorry oke?

hi drdavid, here is new added picture.

Thanks for the outline. Personally it's a bit of a stretch for me and in my hands i wouldn't consider this an example of raja gundala , but as has been already stated, if you see it then it is there for you. I possibly have examples in my collection that i consider to be raja gundala that you not see representational images in at all. Those images will still always be there for me.

No, not dangdut.

During my youth a weekend danceband trumpet player, and then later a flautist, but never dangdut.

Dangdut has a certain novelty value, and maybe the first 3000 times you hear dangdut it might appeal---marginally. But I suspect that it has been specifically formulated to kill brain cells. Lots of empirical evidence for this.

As to who I am. That probably depends upon who the other person is. To some people, I'm their worst nightmare come true, to others I'm Gentle Ben.Totally situational Brekele.In any case, no offence taken; you can address me as Alan if you wish, or Maisey, if you wish, but in my social circle, address by the family name without title is usually reserved for people who have known one another for a very extended period of time, or professionally.
