"Nerdy is as nerdy does..."

Heh, a modified Forrest Gump quote... XD Anyway, Saima sent a forward a while back with comics about scientists and whatnot. Being a chemist and one who knows some physicists and mathematicians quite well (more relevant for the first comic strip!), these two comics brought a smile to my face and perhaps, a little chuckle. Hehe. I have forwarded the mail to several people but thought I'd share this on my blog. Not sure who the credits go to for them - if anyone has any idea, please let me know. For now, please enjoy! XD

Comic #1

Comic #2

Update [01.03.2008]: I just found the site that did these comic strips. You can visit it here.

Aesthetic Tribute: November 2007

Haha, yeah, this is a late submission! I had a lot on my plate during the last few months so never got the chance to finish the drawing till recently. Anyway, it's a fanart of Hayami Masumi from the manga "Glass Mask". I've uploaded two versions: inked and coloured. Yeah, I'm going to start colouring my drawings. Though I still prefer just pencil sketches, I know I need to improve my colouring skills. On a side note, I have now achieved one of my new year resolutions, haha!

I'm feeling "blue"???

Ack, I missed Rozi on MSN yet again! Being in Germany, I tend to be available for chat when most Bruneians are already in bed! But Rozi's a night owl, which is great for me because I get to talk about art things with her! Anyway, she left me an MSN message with a link to a fun quiz, the HTML colour quiz. It decides a colour based on one's personal traits, it's a very short quiz, so why not give a go. Anyway, I was unimpressed that I ended up being a colour I do not like, haha! Ah well...

you are aqua #00ffff

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is very high - you are all about getting things done. The world may think you work too hard but you have a lot to show for it, and it keeps you going. You shouldn't be afraid to lead people, because if you're doing it, it'll be done right. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

HAPPY 24TH BRUNEIAN NATIONAL DAY!!!

Aesthetic Tribute: January/February 2008

First of all, let me wish everyone (though it's rather belated) Happy Valentine's Day! I didn't do anything much on February 14, but I've never been into Valentine's Day! Wishing people HVD is the most I'd do, hehe! Anyway, I also did a new fanart drawing that day for Aesthetic Tribute, you can view it at this link. All the info can also be found there! Hope you all like it! XD

Happy Chinese New Year!

Ooops, I almost forgot to say this! Thanks for reminding me, June! XD

Occasion: Selamat Menyambut Hari Jadi Ke-65!

Haha, practicising my Malay while I'm at it! Anyway, today is my dad's 65th birthday!!! O.O So just wanted to wish him "Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!" - lots of best wishes for now and the future. And following the motto of the Carlsberg ads (of all things!), "Probably the best dad in the world!", haha! XD We love you, Dad!
