  • Hello

    I always thought that when people sending some kind of outer-space mission of sending messages to extraterrestrial life out there, it was a vain attempt to show “HERE I AM. LOOK AT ME.”

    But this video changed my perspective, and I really really appreciate that. Voyager mission serves more than delivering messages to the space, it delivers messages to the humankind.

    “We greet you, great ones.

    Greetings, to our friends in the stars.

    We step into the universe. With humility and hope.”

    I am humbled.

  • Inktober 2019: Day 23

    I didn’t draw anything yesterday because I got too busy and too tired.

    So! Nasi lemak is as Malaysia as Malaysia itself. It’s really easy to find this nation’s favorite — especially in the morning-time; although Malaysians enjoy nasi lemak virtually every possible moment in a day.

    There is this nasi lemak stall nearby my place (although yes, you can find nasi lemak stall every 200 meters in this country) and suffice to say, this drawing is quite a daily sight.

    (It’s 10:20 PM and I’m hungry)

  • Inktober 2019: Day 21

    If I’m not too lazy (heh ?) I usually go to a minimarket/convenience store nearby my place to buy lunch — onigiri (?), sandwiches, omurice (fried rice with ketchup, topped with omelette), or all of the above.

    Whenever I’m there, the place usually packed with folks from nearby office buildings — and they are there to buy lunch too or snacks or some stationeries.

    I guess I have this soft spot about convenience store. I love how they provide conveniences, some kind of a la carte needs for folks in a hurry, or a place for tourists to stop by and buy some necessities (during my trip to HK, my very first question was, “where’s the nearest convenience store?” ?)

  • I have been stepping away from social media (Threads) little by little recently, starting with registering on Mastodon, and I genuinely enjoy their non-algorithm timeline. You will only see stuff from folks that you follow. That’s it.

    I am still around on Threads, though, but I limit myself to 10 minutes only.

    Earlier, I tried checking Threads. Trying to see what’s up.

    My goodness.
