2014
A runaway horse.....
A friend lost her father in the beginning of the year and her mother just as year comes to an end; another's strained marriage started to dissolve, finally culminating in a divorce. My mother's health and spirit to continued to see saw, MH370, MH17 tragedies; water restrictions, another friend loss a son to an infection unexpectedly. Political bickering, religious intolerance and strained racial relationships. Global injustices and human rights violations. On a personal and professional I had struggle to find the direction I am going.
And just as the year is about to close, we are hit again by a massive flooding, and the loss of another airline.
A year of trials.. some of those tested have come out flying, others have shown their true colours.
May we all learn from 2014, and march on wards to a better 2015, a better Human race.. one humanity.
To those who have been me, all these while, or even for a brief moment... there is only so much words can convey, but "Thank you. You have been greatly appreciated", is all I can say.

Kyoto Taika Hen - Malaysia
Caught the movie last night.
It was EXCELLENT. As a live action adaptation of the much loved manga it fulfilled every fans dream of seeing the characters come to life. The action, the characters and character dynamics and interaction were where the movie shone the most and exceeded all expectations.
The action - It was fast, breathless and breath taking. Packed and excellently choreographed, there so many details I know to be there but just couldn't digest fast enough, I wished I could just watch everything on slow-motion, or rewatch all the trailers and repeated gif sets to comprehend the moves. To be honest, any action not involving Kensh
Someone once asked me...
Someone once asked me, if the live action movie had in any way impacted my ruroken fan art painting.
When I first embarked on ruroken realism or semirealism (which ever way you wish to look at it) I very much was inspired by the late Hakubaikou. She showed me how real the idea could be.
I had long felt just as Dir Keishi Otomo said in the open lecture on the making of the movie
.. that beyond the superlatives of the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu, or whatever school of fight in ruroken. It was a story of a swordsman, one who would have gone through the war and felt just as Kenshin did. He felt real. The story felt real. It was a piece of Japanese his

When writing, imagine we are creating a piece of jewelry... the words like gems... string them up so they become a beautiful necklace.. it doesn't do to just throw them carelessly about ..
And don't forget the get rid of the sand.. (ie: edit the unnecessary fluff).. or your jewels won't shine..
Even beads make beautiful pictures if you arrange them with care....
of new chapters and old players..
After a near 5 year professional hiatus,.. I'm finally preparing to pick-up the threads of my old life. Scary and daunting, I'm painfully aware of how long it has been since I've seriously looked at anything related to what I used to do.. at least, looked at them the way I would have, should I have had to deal with them..
Anyway, one of my first tasks was that I had to do was submit my CV... and lo and behold... there was no trace of it, except for a short truncated summary which read as if I had done nothing substantial, (possibly as a consequence of a laptop incident and an unwise disk clean-up exercise). THAT necessitated me calling my fr

2014 is surely a strange year. No matter how happy or unhappy the year was, we all felt and learned a lot. Let bygones be bygones, what will be will be. May 2015 bring us more happiness
