Thoughts on MH17

It was when I was on pretty much a no-internet day that I received a message late at night from my dad, which reads:

MAS crashed near Ukrain believed shot at.

And the rest, shall we say, has come as a black history for the nation, following the yet unknown fate of flight MH370.

The Guardian 

There are a few things that I've come to realize or observe out of the whole incident, and I'll try to keep them short and concise:

Kelantan trip, and the road to drawing

Five month later for another post on the Kelantan trip? The reason for the long gap is because I have only thought of some unexpected thing which the trip had given to me.

Now's a good time to talk about it, or it'll probably be forgotten altogether.

Ramadhan

I love Ramadhan, despite how nonchalant I might appear to be regarding it.

I believe the spirit of Ramadhan isn't confined in mere abstaining from food and drink throughout the day, nor it is about the feast during the break of fast. To me, it's all about minimalism and purification; it's something which I would say rather spiritual. 'course, everyone else have their own way of celebrating it, but I feel it's really good to get back to basic and not fall to excess.

Have a good Ramadhan to those who're observing it.

To Laura

I had casually mentioned on the rather clear influence of Evanescence's Going Under on one metal arrangement of Plain Asia:

And feeling just like going on a trip through time, I went back and listened to the piece by Evanescence

when suddenly, bam, just like that. A trip down memory's lane.

I thought of a girl I had a crush on way back. And this was after, 4-6 years since I last saw her? (online, since it's really through a particular Pokemon message board (Pokemasters, not sure if they're still alive and kicking)) that we met. And if you ask me to this day, I can't say exactly what it was that made me just feel interested in her.

It seemed like a lifetime ago.

Perth Trip 2014: Drawing side

A long overdue post, but way back in early May, our whole family went for a trip to the Land Down Under for one week. I had a little side project that I managed to work on: namely, to fill in a sketchbook on the trip.

4 years of eating danmaku

Wow, it has been a while since we started with the whole series eh? Admittedly others were way into it much longer... but hey.

As has been with previous entries to commemorate the event, I owe it to CROW'SCLAW and a rather long dormant blog on instilling the interest for the series.

It began with these two

[Drawing] 2hu Labor's Day

I drew these for Labor's Day: Servants and subordinates of Touhou, just taking it easy on their day off.

Perhaps Koakuma and Iku should be in there as well, but didn't really occur for me to put them there. The first piece was done on literally the 11th hour of 1st of May, with the second one drawn about... an hour after the first one is done?

I had fun drawing the part for Yoshika and Nazrin-Shou. Also, a bit of KanColle reference if you noticed haha (hint: Komachi)
