Little Girl Sick

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

That never happened to me.

This is the second time this month that i have been ill. I was succumbed to the highest fever of my life last Tuesday. And that was after i nearly thought i had the H1N1 flu before. All of a sudden when i got up in the morning, i was burning, couldn't barely move, weak and invulnerable. No one didn't bother to check how hot i was. Standing a few inches from me was enough to know that i was extremely burning. Didn't go to work for 4 days and didn't eat for 4 days. I guess i lost 2 kilos by then.

It's kind of irritating when you keep getting sick and sick over again. Is it because of my cats at home? I don't think so.

My comic projects and my illustration projects are held back because i can't look around without tears streaming from my eyes, and i'm not even crying. I'm that hot!

Today i'm glad that i have recovered a little. Although i am still coughing away, and my voice is deeper than Darth Vader's (eat your heart out, Anakin!)

And yes, there's work to be done! First, i need to write to Jim. :p

Missing in action....

OMG! Some alien took control of me and i have been solitary for weeks! This is bad! What has happened? Oh woe is me!

Means...

I had a few issues here and there and it kinda dragged me away from the computer, also means that i owe Jim and gang an apology.

nyuk nyuk nyuk!

How i feel when i lost my job...

... and 'friends' make you feel even more degraded than ever before with their 'sharp' remarks.

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk


So it's like Jason is trying to console his little brother Jordan when Jord asked those questions.

Pekomik Awards and Illustrator Gathering 2009 at PWTC

I'm glad the International Book Fair 2009 at PWTC is over. Been really busy and been running here and there helping around with the errands and the chores. It's been fun, i met new friends, familiar faces and hyperactive kids. Didn't get a chance to check out the books though because well, been running up and down creating havoc and being panicky all over. LOL XD!

Anyway, I get a chance to present the awards to the winners of the Comic Awards 2009. So i get to go back and forth on stage and meet the winners and pass them their trophies and certs. Whoopee. Met up with my hero, Nora Abdullah and seriously, i actually cried when i held her hand. Since i met her last year, her works and her aspiration gives me the motivation to keep moving on in the comics world. After all, she's Malaysia's first female comic artist. Thanx for the great comics, Nora! You inspired me to the level where i feel so humble at your presence.

The awards went well but it's also kind of controversial. Some people are not really satisfied with the results, and because of that not much people came by for the Illustrator's Gathering the next day. Only 12 people showed up. But we still had a good time discussing the woes of illustrators and stuff. I think smaller crowds are easier to control.

I'm happy to say that next month i'll be moving forward by giving workshops and talks (still need to curb my stage fright) to school kids across Selangor. I think i like working like this. It beats being in the office 9 to 6.

PWTC's stint and i froze

I've been given a chance by MBBY (Malaysian Board on Books for Young People) to do a short presentation and talk on how to break into the US comic industry at Putra World Trade Center (PWTC). This was the 2nd time i'm presenting in front of the crowd. First was at a school.

I thought everything would be okay. I had prepared some texts and some visual aids. The crowd were getting bigger and bigger. I realized i was biting my nails. Then the session started. I was going to be the next after this guy present his talk on how to write novels.

Then my time came. I froze.

I started panicking and i fumbled through my texts. I was saying things that i didn't write, i didn't prepare. The crowd kept looking at me. I was terribly terrified.

Then the questions and answers session. A few questions i could answer, but came the time bomb question. I couldn't answer it, but i tried every possible way. I felt very awful already and i told the other presenter to go on.

I hid in the toilet for half an hour.

Then when i came by, most of my friends rushed to me and gave me support. I felt pretty okay after that.

Later in the evening my friend told me that i was on tv. Wow, i must have been very excited to hear that. I guess it's worthwhile after all.

So the next workshop will be next month. I hope this time i can curb my stage fright.

Another Blaze?

I must have been crazy because i've been drawing this character over and over again. I may have a crush on him. Which is not surprising really. LOL XD!

Sketch - who the Blazes is he...

That's right, it's Blaze Jadenston! =p

Another sketchie

Head profiles of the main characters.

Sketch again, this time Jules and Elik

Just playing around with Elik and Jules. Oh by the way, they're the same person. :p
