It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...








For non-Chinese readers:
The second and third chinese characters, 鸡 and 机 (ji) have the same pronunciation.
飞机 (fei ji) literally means 'flying (fei) machine (ji)', i.e. aeroplane.
飞鸡 (fei ji) literally means 'flying (fei) chicken (ji)'.

The Comic With Hainanese Dialogue 4

Happy New Year! Ol' Dan has been busy (and still is) with a long-term project which has been leeching his life-force. Glad I could squeeze time to do a new comic.






女: 这个屁股是谁的呢?
Woman: Whose backside is this?



女: 你是谁啊?
Woman: Who're you?



猫: 我是小小.
Cat: I'm the Little One.


女: Orh...原来是小小.
Woman: Oh, the 'Little One' I see.

Editor: The Hainanese word 'Boh' is somewhat a variant of the Chinese word '阿'. Just can't pinpoint an exact word for it. Also ' 阿小' doesn't seem right. Having the cat introducing itself as '小小' seems to convey 'the Little One' better.


女: 你要喝咖啡吗?
Woman: Would you like some coffee?


猫: 要!

Cat: Yes!



猫: Mmm....咖啡味真香!
Cat: Mmm...The coffee smells great!



女: 来, 请你吃蛋塔.
Woman: Here, let me treat you to an egg tart.



女: 你吃东西前没有洗手的啊?
Woman: Don't you wash your hands before eating?





猫: 不要浪费水.
Cat: Mustn't waste water.


女: 唉... 没话讲.

Woman: Haiz, I'm speechless.


:P

Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention 2009

Ol'Dan was at the 501st Legion - Singapore Garrison booth from 14-16 August and 'trooped' as an AT-AT Driver, an Imperial Officer and a TIE-Fighter Pilot.

Here're two pics of me in costume (photos copyright of their respective owners):

Happy National Day 2009

I meant to publish this comic on August 1 but my PC is schedule for maintenance soon. Don't know when I'll get it back. Better to publish now, heh. Hope you have fun with this one:




Tandas = Malay word for toilet
