Stick Girl

I enjoy reading Stick Girl's comics. Her minimalist style carries maximum impact. I emailed her with words of appreciation and she suggested I 'guest-star' at her blog. I was wondering how that could be accomplished. Opportunity came in the form of Stick Girl's birthday on 19 September. I drew the following as a gift to her with some creative liberty in adopting Stick Girl's style of drawing:



Keep those comics coming, Stick Girl :)

Tales Of A Lone Adventurer 02

It was the second day of the COMEX exhibition at the Singapore Expo and I went down to get myself a new external hard disk. I happened to have a cold that day and my nose couldn't stop running. I had to head down that Friday as I didn't want worm my way through the crazy weekend crowd.

So off I went as Deckard Cain from DIABLO II said: "Quickly in, quickly out." Reached Hall 4, secured the hard disk and it's back to home. On my way out, (head feeling woozy from the constant sneezing and running nose) I heard quick footsteps advancing from behind. I continued walking. Then I heard a woman's voice call out:"Hey! hey!" I didn't stop to look and continued walking. All of sudden from my peripheral vision, a sweet-looking lass popped out and stopped me dead in my tracks:



I didn't say "hello" but smiled and raised a quizzical eyebrow.



"What did I buy?" I was stunned for a few seconds as I ran a search in my 'database' to find a match for this affable lady. Nothing. Could she be one of my blog readers? Now what was I thinking... Suddenly:



Turns out she was doing a survey for a credit card company. Somehow I felt 'emotionally robbed'. Laugh all you want, readers but the last thing I needed on that day was crap masquerading as a "friend-I-didn't-know-I-have". I waved a 'No, thanks' and went on my way. Wished I could do this:



And how I felt while waiting for the train to arrive could best be described by the following:



Whoever you are lady, "HUTDUGAIKARSUI!"
