Wrap Up : 2011

2011-12-31T17:07:00.001+08:00

2011 wasn't a very good year for me. I promised myself I would bring this blog up again, but I didn't manage to update it as much as I wanted to. I finally got a job, and I was determined to stick with it to fix my life, but I lost that job in September. The next 2 months I tried to go for interviews in a different line, looking for one that will want a Japanese translator, but my major being

Comic Fiesta 2011 Wrap Up!

2011-12-28T18:09:00.003+08:00

Yay finally some free time after some much needed RnR!! Those who know me personally know I'm also part of the committee of Comic Fiesta. This year, we had the biggest (...well we say that every year LOL) CF ever, held on 17th and 18th December 2011 in KLCC Convention Centre. I know Day 1 was pretty bad and there's plenty of sources online elaborating that so I will skip that and just focus on

Eric can be cute too sometimes...

2011-09-27T13:28:00.003+08:00

Ok it's been a while and I noticed my banner (and probably some old comics) are missing probably thanks to them being hosted at kimag.es. Will find time sometime next week to sort them all out. In the meantime, have a short comic. =D Was gonna continue with other pet related comic first but I couldn't resist drawing this scenario.

Surprise from Hazel

2011-07-27T04:45:00.001+08:00

Finally, a comic! It's been ages... I have some old ideas to draw out, but since I just did the memorial page, I'd like to start with the Hazel related ones. I also have some questions I'd like to ask everyone regarding this blog and it's comics, so if anyone could spare a few minutes to answer them, you have my thanks and appreciation. Questions after the jump. On with the comic strip! :

Remembering Hazel

2011-07-25T04:23:00.000+08:00

Sorry I took so long with this. A tribute to our beloved Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Hazel (lotsa pictures) Hazel, a female Pembroke Welsh Corgi is our first furkid. She was the only pet my husband and I had when we got married. We got her at a pet event (which taught us a lesson, never get your dogs from these places, ever. Their sources are shady. We were naive... ) locally, and boy was she an

Clearing the Dust

2011-06-17T11:04:00.003+08:00

I know, I've been away for much too long, and it's sad that all it took for me to come back was a slap in the face with some bad news. More on that later, first and foremost an update and explanation on what the hell was I doing for a year.Last year the trigger that stopped me from updating for a while was I got hit with a case of vertigo (it makes you believe you're a spinning top all the time

There's no internet in my home...

2010-04-30T11:36:00.003+08:00

I miraculously survived close to 2 weeks without internet!! The lack of internet in my last 2 weeks, along with some other things, kinda dampened my will to draw these last few days, so sorry for the lack of updates. Anyway, with my internet addiction satisfied, I've pretty much bounced back up! =D Also I've got an announcement to make for you people in Kuala Lumpur, if you're free this

I wanna be the very best... at naming.

2010-04-07T17:51:00.003+08:00

So there's only 2 things taking up my daily time recently... work and Pokemon. Now Pokemon is not a hard game, so why is this girl taking so long you wonder? Probably because of the fact that she is a girl, and currently a mentally 10 year old girl. I'll take on the Elite Four for the first time and head off to Kanto tonight... hopefully...

Pos Malaysia Trolls!

2010-03-25T10:38:00.004+08:00

I broke the nose pad thing on my glasses sometime earlier this year... Sometimes I doubt my IQ of 120+... the tissue damn uncomfortable and it blocks a small part of my vision. I put up with it for like a day before realising how stupid i was.

Pig meat

Last Sunday, my jimuis (the sisterhood since primary school days) were dropping by my place for CNY, so I thought I'd offer to cook lunch (yes Shana actually cooks, isn't that just mindboggling?

Three Little Bastards Darling Furkids

2010-01-21T18:19:00.006+08:00

Wish I had a better pic, we have not successfully gotten all 3 to look at the camera, ever. Best is 2 out of 3. But I like this picture. =DI have some comics in store, but a few involves the little buggers parasiting the house so this will be a simple introductory post for the three furry kiddies we share our home with. We'll start with the order they came in to the house.HazelBreed : Pembroke

Kenny Roger's Red Day

2010-01-15T02:24:00.005+08:00

So Kenny Rogers had this promo where if you show up wearing red and order a quarter meal, you get a second quarter meal free! How could a penniless artist resist such temptation? =D So off I went, dragging the husband along to Jusco Setiawangsa (because this silly girl thought that Kenny Rogers would have less traffic, Setapak's one should have even less traffic but she wanted to shop after

My Apple With Avatar

2010-01-13T12:55:00.009+08:00

Before you read : MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!Ah Ferngully Dances With Wolves Pocahontas Avatar, so many different reactions to this movie from different people. I have friends who cried watching it, who critiqued every scientific fault, who was so dazzled by the glowy-ness, awed by the soundtrack, and some watched it more than twice. I think it's not that bad but not that great, as it is after all a
