I wish that i can be okay and ready to face the music again. I present to you The Cavaliers.

I'm back. :)

My good friend Syemstar doing his usual caricature beat-boxing stint.

Fishies! Fishies!

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.

Was having a tensed evening in the office so i drew this. LOL XD!

Here are some pictures taken from my previous journey to Banda Aceh. For your information, Aceh was devastatingly hit by tsunami on the 24th December 2004. My cousin's family from Aceh didn't make it alive, except for the son, surviving on the highest point of a coconut tree. His name was Al-Ghazali and he's still traumatized by the incident. Only when we travelled to meet him did he came to Aceh after so long. Anyway, here are some pictures i took.

I was doodling out ideas for WTF #1, when i kept staring at my artwork on the SPA calender i got yesterday (thanx uncle Jim!). I was so proud of it that i just doodled out Adriel Astin (c) and Jason Dorwille (c) being so happy. :) Also tried doodling using the wacom tablet but i'm still not very good at mastering it. Hahaha. :p

I'm at Sushi King with Syemstar (Shamsir). You can see me in this vid. Very fat me in all yellow. LOL XD!

I'm a dance dance revolution freak. Whenever i go to arcades, i will never miss a chance to strut my stuff on the dance machine and sweat. I just love the beat, the moves, the way the body swayed when you step on the arrows accordingly. It's so exhilarating. Last Saturday i went to Pyramid with my cousins. As i was dancing, i noticed this leaflet resting on a stand next to the dance machine. Danzmania 2009 eh? I was so thinking of joining in. I mean why not? You get a PS3! I don't even have to buy! I'm already dreaming about it. But then, i decided not to. Not to say I'm chicken or anything, but i might be a little busy with workshops and projects, so i guess i'll pass. I'll just dance casually, in arcades and at home. Shall we dance?
