Fill - Fulfill - Refill

So many things happened between that time then and now. Last few years were definitely one of those crossroad years that I needed to go through and learn. As a result, the coming new year peeked through like the start of Spring after a long and tumultuous Winter.

Rise from the Ashes: Offence

Here's an old mini-comic I did few years back. Been thinking of posting it here but never made it happen until I read somewhere that someone else is going through the same shit I have. We're not alone and we're NOT going to keep quiet either. In solidarity with survivors out there <3

Mental Bubble Bath

One day, I had one free morning to do anything I wanted in Kuala Lumpur before heading over to a friend's house in Bangsar in the afternoon. I walked by thinking, "What shall I do after a nice breakfast?". Then I thought, why not try to go to the Kuala Lumpur Library and see what they have. I have just registered as a member last October after some travelling friends plans to go there. Yes, it always takes someone outside to appreciate the local little gems. Well, come to think about it, I never been to Sunway Lagoon before, or up to the Petronas Twin Tower but maybe that is a different case compared to visiting a local library, but hey - all in good time perhaps.

So I went to the library and asked the librarian kindly for it's informational pamphlet and to my pleasant surprise, found out that they have a Children's Library! One separate building just for that! The little kid in me was overjoyed and skipped happily towards the building and made a shy entrance once realising that she is the only kid-in-an-adult's-body going there alone. There were a couple few adults and their little friends on the other little reading tables but that doesn't deter me from looking for hidden treasures in there by myself. And lo and behold, upon arriving on my first shelf, I already took 3 books in my arms and there's obviously more shelves to go through!

I gotta say, it is a good sign when you found out that there are children's books about Tolstoy, Kant and Hume translated in Malay! There are also lots of books that have wonderful illustrations to get inspired by. That beats going to art exhibition sometimes, hehe. Can't wait to have some of the good books I found there to get for Pustaka Semesta. It will be awesome to have a small children's book corner there someday (^_^)

Here is what I borrowed from the children's library (Members are allowed to borrow 3 books and a CD. Membership registration is only RM16 and yearly renewal is RM10).

This one wasn't from the children's library, but from their adult's section. I saw this in the trolley after using the Internet. Can't help myself but pick it up :P

So why wait any longer? Go ahead and check your local library and the Kuala Lumpur Library. The Kuala Lumpur Library is just next to Dataran Merdeka, near the tall Malaysian flag.

I don't think I'm joining the 27 Club

Hello kawan-kawan! I've finally pulled myself over here and going to make a little update. Few days ago (3rd October) was my birthday as well as several other friends, as I've found out! Happy birthday Wolf, Man and Ci Chaan!

Anyway, weeks back, I've participated in 'Deadlines' exhibition in Annexe gallery, Central Market, Kuala Lumpur as a group called Ragazza88. The curator, Jerome was being as kind and helpful as ever, not forgetting Pang who helped a lot as well. Thank you so much for the rest of Ragazza88 crew, Marr and Nunu, because without you, all these wouldn't happen in the first place (^_^)

Here are some photos from the event (thanks Kok Leong, Karen and Shieko!). Thank you also for the lovely gifts and support, everyone! <3 Love all of you so much!
