Reason, Cause and Effect…

Posted by Emory on April 25, 2009

Reason: I want to become a great mangaka in Malaysia.


The Order of the Phoenix by ~emory on deviantART

I had a dream once. I was skeptical on it at first, without any plan and any resources, I bet EVERYTHING I had into it. I came to Kuala Lumpur to find an opportunity to enter the comic arena. With pure luck, my friends were studying in KL and by another struck of luck, the comic company I wanted to work with also within walking distance. (By means of distance is like 45 minutes of walking.) So my base plan is to get to KL and try my best. My dream became big. Too big in fact I split it into 3 stages. 5 year term in Malaysia, 5 year term in Japan, 5 year term in America. Ridiculous? I know…

Yes, for peoples dreams there are greed. I can’t see this world without anyones dream of being big and touches the sky. When the sky is reached, they go beyond, to the moon and further too see the galaxy. My dreams became too big for myself and I didn’t see what was coming.

Cause: Blinded by the sight of my emotions.


Eddy - The Keeper by ~emory on deviantART

For my history of drawing, I’ve been hot and cold on it. I never was an enthusiast in art. I disliked media colouring. I like more on sketching. I took me a while to gain confidence in inking. Scared of making mistakes and using blanco to erase my mistakes. I’m pretty scared for everything at first, but over time, my confidence builds up and I became more attached to my style of drawing. It was like my best work polish over polish and over. It was my prized style. But in the contrary. It was not.

I was so blinded by the facts of what I really want. I became so immature being attached to my current styling and lost sight of my future. I can’t keep up with this style. This style is like anyone can do. I don’t have my distinctive style or characteristics that implies that I did that work. True, I can draw. But that does not mean anyone can recognize my work. It felt hard for me to drop my current style of drawing. For so long, I didn’t know what I was aiming at. Polishing? or Renew?

Effect: Smack at the face, I must let go… Start over…


EOH 00001 - Birth by ~emory on deviantART

Yesterday’s meeting with the boss was tough, it hit me hard for sure. It was a reality check. What the boss’s comment on that day was the wake up call for me. I didn’t see it until I meet him. He was a guy with huge knowledge. Big visions! He almost scared me to death… I fear him and yet he gives me informative straight and clear images of what he wants. He tells me things about my work. The weakness and visions my future. He said it was not good. He even went to take some samples by a professional and gave it to me to see…

It was hard… A absolute smack on the face to wake me up. Then I realized the fact. If I keep that on… I won’t be able to go what I dreamed for Japan. I’ve got many things lined up for myself… But I haven’t even have my base filled. That’s why I think I fall most of the time in the reaching point. I wanted to be quick, but failed to see what is beyond results I see ahead.

Aftermath: Change

Well, nothing much this point. But I’ll post something new after I change my style again…

The confrontation is a good destined fate for me. I must wake up and change my style if I want to see my future soon. And the sooner I wake up, the better I’d be. I WILL NOT FAIL MYSELF. I’ve gone this far…

“If I don’t pour out the water from the glass, there will always be no fresh clear water coming in.”

A quote from my colleague that I will never forget.

Wow… So chun this song played in my playlist as I wanted to hit publish…

Insomnia and Sickness

Posted by Emory on March 29, 2009

Just as I was scrolling my list of MSN contacts, I came across a person’s blog which I never knew how he ended in my Contact list. But I was curious, thinking it may filled with self-camwhore-portraits. Instead I found a blog by a fan of Korean music. In the blog, a Youtube clip caught my attention and I without any hesitation, clicked on that music video.

Somehow I liked the song.


?? Wheesung - Insomnia

Well, the song is nice… but it was not an original song by him. The original version is by a black guy who likes to ask “What’s Your Flava” to “Fill Me In” in “7 Days” so by the time you see him “Walking Away”, you will know his “Rise and Fall”.

Back with a different look from the last time I saw him…


Craig David - Insomnia

Craig really changed a lot. And this song, produced by Timbaland Productions is good music! I now start to think that all Timbaland Productions are real real good quality dance music!

Anyways, recently I’ve been sick. I had a visit from the dance fever-land. It’s good to be well again. I had to postpone my appointment with my editor to last Wednesday to hand up my work. and I had to pick up the slack I made… FINISHING 4 PAGES WITHIN 24 HOURS!!! That was the record of the year and I didn’t have enough sleep to begin with!!

Sometimes these rushing experiences really give some thought for myself. How I can organize my time to finish 4 pages in one day! At least now I know I can do 1 page within 6 hours of my time. I think I’ll start do 2 pages per day. But with having the weekends off for brainstorming and drafting. I also have conversation with my editor lately on my future as a freelance mangaka there in the company. The editor wants me to go another level this year (So do I). I hope the last few comics I complete will end my Fairy Tales chapter and start with a new story with ultra strong fresh mint characters! I won’t spill anything just yet. But I hope by May, I can start this Project ‘O’ which is going to be a mainstream humor ultra super duper kawaii killarz comic!!!!111oneoneone…

Last last Saturday was a day that I could not forget. What seems to be a good day but it turned out to be a total disaster. Here are some before after pictures to prove my point.


Drain Empty
What is now…


Drain  FULL
What was that day…

Another angle on it to see how this is “why so serious”.


Deep Drain

See if you can spot where the drain leads to. That black little hole at the end is where it goes…


No Hole

Either our place is easily flooded or tsunami just hit us here in KL…

=____=… Good thing I live uphill…

Great news! (Or on the contrary) There is another new Harry Potter book! It’s an official book and I just spotted it in Ikano’s Popular Bookstore!


Harry Potter...

See the thing on my hand! It’s not entitled “Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth” from Futurama… Neither it is written by J. K. Rowling.


... is in Business

Somehow, people just want to have a piece of the delicious cake which the Harry Potter brand name is worth. I wonder if they are even ALLOWED to use the name Harry Potter in front of their book and design it to look like that. Bloodsuckers…

Just yesterday, me and a group of my friends went to The Gardens at Mid Valley. I just don’t understand why they wanted to go eat at a place that you will absolutely know it is damn pricey, high classed, and yet somehow having that gut feeling that its not really worth it?


Flying Chillies
More like flying money…

This Thai food restaurant is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous! Somehow they know how to make dishes but not single serving personal dish! And the simple drinks are overpriced and overrated…


Tonic and a Pandan drink
Basically Soda without the sweet taste and Pandan cooked in sugar water

I should have ordered Soda… RM5 for the Tonic and RM9 for the Pandan drink…


Fried Rice
Fried Rice with Prawn

This dish made my friend unhappy with the service. My friend could not eat meat on that day, but seafood is fine. He asked the waiter to NOT serve chicken to him but add more prawns or something like that. But ended up disappointed and angry. Dish price: RM15.50


Fried Rice in Pineapple
Pineapple Fried Rice

This one looked nice. Some of my friends are satisfied with this dish. RM16.50


Rice, Egg, and Basil Chicken
Steamed Rice with Hot Basil Chicken and Sunny Side

Somehow this being priced at RM15.50 is more or so of another ripoff… The taste is not so great. I had to put the chili powder on it so that it is hot enough to make me sweat as if I’m in a sauna. It felt like I can cook that dish and sell it at RM5.

Some things on the menu when spoken sounded funny in a way. For example, Stewed Beef Noodle, which my friend said tasted like beef cooked in black soy sweet sauce and then placed on top of the noodle, may sound funny when read quickly. Stupid Noodle.

And another noodle which we don’t really understand…

Phad Thai Noodle…

Part Time Noodle? WTF?!

Unless you are having a strong stomach on coconut milk and hot spicy food, not to mention their dish like tomyam soup (very nice!) This restaurant is nice to go. But avoid all weird name single dishes.

I don’t like coconut milk… I had to go to the toilet 2 times the next morning.

Beat Freaks Freeze!

Posted by Emory on March 12, 2009

Lately I’ve been watching America’s Best Dance Crew season 3 online. I don’t have TV here but the internet helps much in a cool show like this available online for us to watch!


Beat Freaks - Week 5 - Magic Week

This is the best girl group in the whole show. The way they dance really makes me want to move! I saw that in Gizmodo and I searched online to find a way to watch this show online. Then I came across the main site in MTV. Which features full episodes streaming in 3 different qualities! (If your internet speed is fast enough then go for quality.) Here’s the video episodes page. ABDC Episodes

The whole ABDC Season 3 was being conquered by another team, The Quest Crew. Who battled out with Beat Freaks to the final 2. It’s sad to watch Beat Freaks ended up in second place. They dance very smooth but Quest Crew uses their full creativity to put on a show. But I still like Beat Freaks!

Oh, I liked the music when Beat Freaks are performing their Magic Act Week, which is called Freeze by T-Pain featuring Stupid bad ass Rhianna hitting bastard Chris Brown.

MTV… Enjoyz!!!
