A very late Christmas to everybody. XD I felt a tremor at home today. It's very rare for natural disasters to happen in Malaysia (except flash floods) so I was actually amused and felt fun feeling the tremor. XD School's re-opening soon. Maybe then, I would have less time to think so much and more time to do work. :3 Will be changing the front image soon, and also... doing New Year artwork. I suck at these things but I'm trying.

First off I updated the gallery last 2 or 3 weeks ago but forgot to write in the newsbox and here. Then the weeks after that I went for a holiday trip and my mom "hired" me to work for my dad, helping him as a lorry driver. By the time I finished work I was too tired to draw or do anything, so I didn't update last week. I'm really sorry. Maybe I wasn't cut out to be a manga artist in the future.

I think I went nuts this week. I did 4 oekakis on Thursday and 5 oekakis on Friday. Shows how bored I was, holidays are always boring when you spend it alone.

Removed one link from ETC page. Xin said it's for my personal use and it's not meant for public access. XD Oops.

No matter what I'm still amazed and envious of many artists. ;_; I can never seem to improve much. Chern lectured me with his logicness again, after so many months of peace. He started with the theory of "living objects don't belong in our galaxy", and then "the creation of our galaxy", and then about me being too much of a worrywuss. I hate lectures and sentimental talks, but that's the reason I'm thinking much more than I need to. Nobody has sent me any mail for the activity mentioned below. Shows how lame I am. Hah.

Updated links and drew 4 random oekakis. I went on a visit to the Spice Farm and got some inspiration at the beach nearby. :3 I visited Laneesha's site and was amazed by the artwork there. Wish I could draw like that. I'm gonna have to improve next year. Oh, yeah, I found out that most of the links in this page led to wrong pages. And nobody noticed, or bothered. XD Hah, I must be somewhat unpopular or something. Flash movie is done, finally! I've been mentioning this since June. My punctuality is terrible as ever. ;_; The next thing I'm hoping to work on now is continuing Phoenix manga and Animenifesto!.

Okay, I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm offering to draw the main page's title image based on visitor's preference. If it were some poll, the choices would be limited. If it were by mail a lot of visitors would feel too lazy to vote/ suggest anything. So here is what I plan; first off I accept e-mail for suggestions for the upcoming images. After a week or month, I'll gather all of the suggestions into a poll and visitors can vote for their favourite choice. The only problem would be the poll host. I don't like Lycos polls and most other polls load slow or are crappy. Wish I could create site polls myself.

Okay, so here goes. If you've seen the first 2 title images, you may be wondering what is with the stupid backgrounds and faceless person in it. My basic idea of the images is to show the bizarre world of Laksapedia. Hopefully when enough title images are done, I can come up with a short comic with the elements portrayed. If you wish to place your direction of the story, you just need to send an e-mail. For this coming image, you'll need to suggest:

1) The name of the person in the picture.
2) The names of the two lands in the previous images.
3) The name of the future land the person will be travelling to.
4) The reason that person is travelling there.
5) A brief description of the place you suggested in 3).

Notes: You don't have to suggest for all of the above, you can just suggest one of them (e.g. name of person). If there are no more than 1 suggestion, I'll throw in mine to make up for a poll. For 3), the future destination could be the previous lands already drawn. :3 And for 5), the more vivid your imagination, the better grasp I have of what the place looks like. I cannot guarantee that it looks exactly as imagined though.

Phew, I rant too much this time. I hope everybody takes part and help live up the site. :3 As for the forum, I'm still searching for a good host. There was a P7 refugee forum, but nothing can ever be the same as the original no matter what.

Exams are over until next year, and I'm glad I can forget about it for a while. >w<; I didn't manage to do any oekakis last week. I'll get a few done today.

My band performed for the very first time in public last Friday. Holy jeeps, I didn't feel nervous at all, honestly. I don't know what the hell was I thinking, we were playing Blur's Song 2 on stage, I was singing, Thivan (the drummer) couldn't hear me because he was crashing on all the way, Gavin (lead guitar) mis-tuned his guitar and wrecked the whole tune of the song off, William (backing guitar) had no problems. The outro sucked; Thivan couldn't hear me singing and ended the song earlier. Somehow we weren't boo-ed or appreciated, so we were not sure if we were supposed to be happy or not. But overall, everybody gave an average opinion, with some negative comments. Geez, we could've done better. Anyway, now that everything is done with, I can finally relax...

Currently I still have the Flash movie, comics to be moved and updated (ever since this site came about ;_;). Please bear with the slow updates, I'm doing my best. Maybe all the problems would be solved when I get a broadband. :3

Xin sent me more of his story. I could've updated this last week but the diskette he gave me was faulty. Final year exam begins next Tuesday and ends on the following week's Thursday, I think. So I won't be updating next week. Btw, FYI, the ETC page has been modified for easier viewing. If you think it sucks or anything mail me ya. Next site update will be two weeks after. Wish me luck in my exams ya! :3

Yeah, I have exams coming, I'm currently in deep sh*t for messing with my band instructor, and I'm very depressed, and yet I can have time to care about updating this site with 3 oekakis. I made a phone call to a hotline for helping people ease their depression. Expressing my anger and what I had inside of me made me feel better, but nothing changed at all. I still think the world sucks. And I was labeled a teenager who thinks a lot at his age. Bah, I'm just worrying too much, huh?

I didn't draw anything this week, and probably until next month. Final year exam is next month, I gotta prepare. So basically there won't be any updates until October. ;_; I'm sorry for all these lame excuses, but I'm always busy.

Headshot! is finally finished. I'm not satisfied with the complete work, I doubt I can even win 3rd place with my comic. But hey, Consolation is okay too. The prizes are as follow:
1st: RM3000
2nd: RM1000
3rd: RM600
Consolation: RM200
Well if I happen to get consolation, I can buy a quarter of an electric guitar! :D :D :D And my mom pays for the rest of it, plus the amp. XD I hope I can get the consolation. (or even better, top 3.) Anyway, my next priority is the Flash project. Phew.

Updated Animenifesto (at last!) and Headshot!. I hope I can make it in time before the competition dateline. FYI, the comic is for the Open Category. It's for all ages. I'm supposed to enter the 18-below category, but my story is of 8 pages. (18-below category only allows maximum 6 pages) I'm currently working on Headshot! page 7. Woo hoo.

Okay, I'm on to page 3 of Headshot!. Dateline is 31 September, and I have approximately 3 weeks to finish the comic because I'll need a week to send my works. So whoever waiting for me to draw them a pic or something, please excuse me until end of September, okay? Oh yeah, for the comics (Animenifesto and Phoenix) I'll update them after September. Don't worry, I've got at least a page of them done already, so no worries of empty updates.

Darn, I didn't touch my Flash program this week. I must've been really busy. Xin has agreed to submitting his writings and such to the etc section when he has the time, so I won't have to worry about content anymore. Thanks a lot. :) Second page for comic is still undone... well obviously. T_T

Flash project is a few hours away from completion. I have to say this project might not be as good as the previous one because it's kind of a "cut-and-paste" project. I've finally posted the first page of my new comic project, "Headshot!" The second page isn't complete. Main page is updated with new top image. It's something like a continuation of the previous image. This might lead to a new comic or Flash, but I'm too occupied for now.

Who am I kidding, I don't have time for C++, I don't even have time to even maintain this website. I need to rearrange my lifestyle. I came across a funny chain mail last week. For women, it's worth a read, I think. Oekaki production is downgrading quality-wise. XD I can't seem to come up with a good colour combination and background for illustrations. Oh well, gotta look through more artworks. Flash project is about 50% complete. I have a little more frames to finish. :) Animating objects is tough work.
Oh yeah I'm going to Kuala Lumpur tomorrow, after the school "cross-country" run. So yeah, no time to update or anything. Sorry again.

C++ Language gets harder in Chapter 4. Although what I've been reading was basic, it was as heck for me already. Anyway, I had exams on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. That explains my lack of online activity for the past week. Moving on, The second Flash "game" is about 20% complete. You might be asking what I have been doing since last month. Well, I took some time off to study the tutorials AGAIN (hah, I'm a slow learner) and learned of the "goto" commands and stuff. So I started working on the Flash last week. I only managed to finish one page of the comic project due to(*cough*exams*cough*) I'll get the second one done after it's all done. I'll be coming up with a new image for the main page soon. Watch out for it, ya?

I started getting hooked on C++ programming. I wonder why, but I suddenly have this funny urge to create viruses. I must be kidding myself. XD I'll upload 2 pages (or more) of my current comic project next week. As for the ETC. page, I'm asking my friend to find me some content because, yes, I'm lame.

This is a busy week. Honestly. I forgot to finish my homework due 2 days ago, and I'm going for the "Librarian's Orientation Camp" from tomorrow (Friday) to Sunday. (Paid a whole $45 for the damn thing... jeez, they said they'll terminate anybody immediately if they refuse to pay or attend the camp) Obviously I wouldn't have time to update so I'm doing it now. The Flash project is freezed for the moment. And I'm still looking out for lots of stuff (refer to rants below...). As promised, although my updates are kinda lame and I have a lot more to do, I'm taking it slowly by uploading oekakis as weekly updates and doing other related stuffs in the process.

For updates, you can check the news in the main page. For future-planned updates, you can check below. Alright, about Gempak, as noted in my rant below. It's a comic/magazine-publishing company, methinks. So far the company has published 5 types of magazines. "GEMPAK", "UTOPIA", "COMIC KING", "STARZ" and "HYPE!". If there's more, then I must be outdated. Anyway, every year (since 2002 Ithink?) they'll organize some event which includes cosplay, exhibition and competition at Kuala Lumpur. I went there last year to see the cosplay and comic-drawing competition results. Cosplay event was a so-so. Some of them were good and some were plain terrible. And for the comic competition, I have a feeling I might get in the finals if I were in there. This means that there aren't many good artists who joined the competition. I'm assuming there's a lot of great artists in Malaysia but they're just lazy to participate.

They have 4 categories for the competition this year. Comic (18 and below), Comic (Open), Comic strips, Illustration. I plan to take part in every category. Sounds impossible, yeah, but I'll do what I can. My first comic (mentioned below, the 8-page one) is my first work. I hate doing manual inking. I don't have the white ink, so when I never get to erase my inking mistakes. I have to resort to liquid paper, which is not good for re-inking. More info of my works and etc next rant.

My friend Nelaton, who is supposed to be uploading the comics, told me he was struck by virus and lost all his files (including mine) Of all the things I can expect... Well, I'll give him the backup CD again. I hope this time he doesn't get anymore virus or I'll be giving him the low blow. XD I've cut up some interesting articles from around my newspaper (to be posted in ETC page). I can't decide whether to scan the whole article or write the article out manually. Hmm...

I'm doing a short comic for now, ignoring updates for both Animenifesto and Phoenix. This new comic is 8 pages long, and it's to be submitted for the GEMPAK competition. More info on my next rant.

I redid the whole site. As I've first mentioned when I applied for this site, I won't make my site fancy or anything. I'm keeping things simple and easy to navigate. I still have a little problem with the comic archives. There's too much pages to handle. I need to think of a way around that. I think I'll go ask some people for advice.
