Okay. After returning back from Sarawak a week ago, I was meaning to immediately write in my journal how awesome my experience had been in Kuching, Sarawak, traveling around places and such. Instead, my busy schedule had only gotten worse.

See, my parents still need to inspect our soon-to-be new house before our "official" moving day at the end of this December. This is important because we need to watch over those workers as they slowly renovate our house, making sure that they don't accidentally screw-up while in the job. In the weekdays, my father needs to go to work as usual, so he's unable to accompany my mother while she's inspecting that house. My mother doesn't want to be alone, so I have to take my father's place. Which means I'm having to leave our current house -- and away from my computer and the Internet -- every weekdays.

It's maddening!

I do hardly anything at all while being there, besides occasionally helping my mother do some stuff like carrying a few things around the house. My presence there is mainly just to accompany my mother, keeping her from feeling too lonely as she inspects the house. Most of the time, I only sit there while messing around with my PSP and DS, which luckily I always carry them around as I travel, to let the time passing by. We usually don't return back home (back to our current house) until sunset.

So, for the moment, I'm afraid that I can't be online as often as I usually can. Another bad news, my father just told me that there are no phone lines yet in that housing estate where our new house is located. So it's doubtful whether or not I'll be able to find a way to access the Internet after moving there. Only time can tell. But hopefully, I'll be able to find a solution by then.

Well, this is probably the best excuse why I haven't been posting much art lately...

It has been confirmed that my parents and I will be moving to that new house we've purchased on this December at the end of this year. We haven't completely moved-in yet; until then, we'll be constantly busy preparing this new house, from fixing new curtains to fixing new ceiling lights. It's tiring, but until we move on this December, I'll have to deal with traveling back and forth between our current house and our new house within this period. I'm not sure if I'll be able to access the Internet there... Until then, let's not worry about this yet, but hopefully, I'm sure I'll be able to try to find a way to access the Internet from there.

Tomorrow, on October 22nd, my parents and I will be traveling to Penang Island for a 1-2-night stay there, to attend one of my cousin's wedding party held in Kedah on the next day.

And on October 25th, my parents and I will be flying to Kuching, Sarawak, for 3 nights. Of all states in Malaysia, I haven't traveled to Sarawak, the biggest state in Malaysia, yet, so I'm taking this chance.

Oh, and October 27th is my 25th birthday. (And yes, I'll be celebrating my birthday in Sarawak.)

Update: My parents corrected me during the trip, so I wasn't able to correct this journal. Actually, I don't go to Kuching on this 25th. It's on this 27th, exactly right on the same day as my birthday. Anyway, now that I've returned home for a short while, I'll be taking this time to prepare myself for that trip to Kuching.

Today, while returning home from the mall with my mother, I saw a dead dog beside the street.

ZOMG. A dead motherfucking dog. I hope I don't get any more bad luck today.

According to my mother, it may have died since yesterday. She had seen that same dead dog on that same exact spot yesterday, while driving around the street as usual.

It appears that Seto Kaiba had smiled again...

I wish a happy Eid ul-Fitr for all my Muslim friends this year, maaf zahir dan batin. (In Malaysia, we spelled it as "Aidilfitri".)

Sorry for the rather sparse updates. I haven't been drawing anything lately; I think it's because of having to fast during this Ramadan fasting month, which may have reduced my will to draw at the moment. Eid ul-Fitr is just around the corner now, though -- assuming that new moon occurs precisely as predicted by the moon observers, it's on September 20th -- so things should be back to normal by then.

Anyway, my parents and I may possibly be moving to a new house in Kedah somewhere in the middle of this October, or maybe on this November. Actually, we've already bought another house in Shah Alam, Selangor, and we were scheduled to move there on this December. However, my father recently got the news that he may be reinstated as a boss again, this time in Kedah, so we may have to move to Kedah instead on this October. No word about this yet, though. My father is still waiting for the letter of confirmation of his reinstatement. The move is only temporary, though: If everything goes well, we might stay there for only around 1-2 years. I shall update the news should there be more progress about this.

Another thing, I've been working my butt off on this animation I'm currently doing. It's just my fursona talking about animation itself, and it's meant to be my CV, should I plan to someday start seeking a job as an animator. The voicing is in English so that even my non-Malay-speaking fans can enjoy it, too, but also because some animation studios here required employees to have a good grasp of the English language. It utilizes several common Japanese animation techniques, mostly as experimentations. I'm not sure if animation studios in Malaysia would accept me for this, but it's not hurt to try, and I really want to promote more anime-inspired animation form in Malaysia. If you're interested to see how far I've been doing it, feel free to drop-by in MSN. (Y!M users may need to note me beforehand so I can also go online in Y!M, too, because I rarely use Y!M nowadays except for serious matters.) If it's finished, I could also upload it here in deviantART, too.
