On the Event :

I met Mr. Imran, the man behind Sifoo.com, and dearest Juliana that contacted me for the event, also people I know from facebook : Dayu Inai Pengantin and Nerdless Art, and many other peoples with a great interest in doodling.

Meeting a lot of people with the same interest was really fun. We talked and discussed about the same thing, we doodled on the huge wall and we spent time planning on future events together. I've never met a big group of people with the same interest with me at one time, and for that, kudos Sifoo.com !

I brought almost all my doodle books & travelogue for doodler to read. When someone pointed out about my passion in traveling, my heart leaped ! Now I know what it feels like when someone else understands about your passion in something, you'll just get so excited you want to excitedly blurt everything - Thank God I managed to control it.

Let's Jo !

On Talking :

Truth to be told, I was a bit extra nervous when I was called upfront and given a microphone in my hand. After speaking as fast as the lighting for the first 5 minutes, I passed the mic to zamzammee and after those several minutes of nervousness, it finally faded when I came to my senses and focused on some familiar faces. Those talking time with questions from audience was much more better. Extra notes : It is not a secret, my skills in public speaking and talking to people are pretty unpolished, so I am sorry if there are any flaws & annoying things mentioned while I was sharing my experiences.

Talk by us : zamzammee & azreenchan

Little Stories 35 : Childhood Memory

My earliest childhood memory is when I was having my 3rd birthday. I know it was at our rented little house in Japan because I saw the old photo of the little event later.

We were celebrating my birthday. I remember the cake in front of me. I remember the little Tv behind me, because I remember glancing several times to watch 'The Land before Time' that was on aired. Next thing I knew, someone scolded me for not focusing on the cake. The Tv was turned off afterwards - that was probably my dad, because he did that many times later in our life. 

That is all I can remember. 

Many times throughout life, I remember the short scene of my childhood memory. I asked my mom once, but she can't remember any of it.

Today is my 26th birthday. I took a day off from work, I had a nice breakfast with my loved ones, I enjoyed my day and it ended so well. It was pretty nice - far from what I had last year. Last year, I worked on my birthday, and I asked myself many times on that day "What am I doing?", so since last year, I promised to make it as my day, free from work and stress. 

I also got this awesome box from my doodler sifoo : zamzammee. 

How I started my doodling career? Go ask him.

Hello !

Some of you might know my old-time doodle partner, zamzammee. I met him a couple of days ago for iftar, while waiting for the time, I took the chance to ask for a doodle. The amazing thing about him is the ability to doodle so fast on the spot. I am always amazed by what he can do.

I learned from him, back when doodle isn't so popular on the net. We've started to doodle and shared it  with the public through the net several years ago, in 2009. And by 2010, we started to join events and interviews. He isn't really active online, but he is really good in this. Check out his work in his facebook, not much were shared, but that's a start :D

Doodle : On my wall

* 

Hello !

I did a mini project lately : decorating my wall. I know it's a bit crammed but I got a habit of putting many things on one place, just as crammed as my usual doodles that I love to draw :D

Sometimes when people ask me the meaning of all this, I would stop and ponder. I guess I don't have the right answer. It just feels right. It keeps me focus. I let certain things in my life remain unanswered.

It's been 2 months, having my own place teaches me several things in life. Practical stuffs like changing broken light bulbs, painting walls, redecorating, paying bills, wiring, daily chores and possibly many more other things. I am still using the broken bed that I've nailed to make it at least decent enough to sleep on. My kitchen is still stiff and unfriendly because I hardly use it to cook foods. 

Thank you for this chance, only You know how much I've dreamed about this.
