[029] Thank you 302 Facebook fans! 感謝302臉書讀者!

Image
I originally wanted to draw a "Sunday" comic to imagine how it feels if my strip was on the newspapers. But on a second thought, I think I'd thank all 302 Facebook fans (including me or if there's a sudden new addition) for subscribing to my blog. Among half are my friends who were forced to join after relentless invitations and my shameless advertisements. Thank you for supporting my dream and I hope my comics will bring a smile to your face every time :) 本來想畫一張“星期天”漫畫的。因為記得小時候,只有星期天的漫畫邊幅特別多,所以想體驗一下畫一張星期天漫畫會是怎麼樣的感覺。但是想一想之後,還是決定感謝302名臉書讀者(包括我或萬一臨時有新人加入)。其中一半是被我逼迫或經過厚臉皮促銷之後,沒辦法只好加入的朋友。感謝你們支持我的夢想,希望我的漫畫會每次帶給你們微笑:)

[028] Nothing to Lose 沒什麼好失去的

Image
I get negative very easily. Especially the thought of drawing comics and making it big in Singapore is more like a dream than reality. Sometimes I wonder why I chose such a difficult path and envied other comic artists, who had published books and made it as a career. But I don't want to live a normal life and hope to leave a mark somewhere, a little reminder that this person had once lived before. I have nothing much to lose now, only time. Nothing is fair in life, but we all have the same time to do either something we like, or don't like. I like to draw (and complain) so I hope to do this for a long time... 中文版請點(更多)→

[027] Memory getting worse with age 老了記憶也差了

I couldn't remember the steps of eating Chazuke (rice in tea), so I eventually poured everything inside the small bowl. The waitress was worried and peeped at my table a few times XD My mix tasted good though~ (photos below)  中文版請點(更多)→

[026] Japan, the High Context Culture 日本的高語境社會

Image
Sometimes I can't stand the vagueness of the Japanese language. It becomes especially frustrating during critical times... Through my studies, I came to realize that this is called a "High Context" culture. But as a fast and furious Singaporean, I prefer "Low Context"!!! 中文版請點(更多)→

Battle of the Tissue Papers 面紙之戰

Image
I'd been taking these tissue papers from the sales people outside my university. In fact, I had finished using 4 packs of these but still continued to take them whenever I can. However it was only today that I noticed that these tissue papers are from 2 rival schools mimicking each other's design! I wonder how effective they are because the only time that these tissue papers influenced my purchase was when BicCamera had a 100yen coupon attached to it! Will this marketing work outside of Japan? I seriously doubt so especially in Singapore, where we just take them because they're free and don't care about what's written on it! 在我的大學外常常有人發免費面紙,所以我也就常常拿。即使用完了4包還是繼續拿。可是直到今天才發現,原來這兩包面紙是敵對公司的!而且你看吧,設計是不是很像呢? 不知道花那麼多錢製作這些面紙有多大的效果?因為我唯一一次因為面紙而去消費的時候,是當biccamera附上了一張100yen的折扣券時:P  不知道這種昂貴的促銷在日本外會有效果嗎?我覺得很難,因為例如在新加坡,我們都不讀上面的字,只要是免費的我們都拿!

[024] Since Complains are Unresolved 既然投訴沒用

Image
I read that customer calls nowadays in the US are subcontracted to India, but what about Singapore? From my personal experience, they always sound Filipino and address us as "Mam...", perhaps they're  based in Philippines??? Maybe I should ask them next time... yes... when I'm feeling very bored... 中文版請點(更多)→

Molecular Gastronomy in Tokyo? 東京的分子美食?

Image
After a Vermeer art exhibition at Bunkamura, Shibuya, my friend and I went to a French restaurant called Chez Matsuo that offered a glass of free grapefruit juice with every Vermeer ticket. Our appetizer's presentation was contemporary and had a great use of color. But what intrigued me was the leaves that looked like as if bubbles were attached to them!? 觀賞在涉谷的油畫畫展後,我和朋友到了一家名為Chez Matsuo的法國餐廳吃飯。開胃小菜的裝扮非常前衛和色彩繽紛。不過最讓我覺得好奇的是...那個好像有很多泡沫的葉子能吃嗎!?<-過後還是吃了!

Facebook scam: roller coaster orgasm 臉書駭客

Image
Basically this scam starts from your friend/s sharing a video entitled "This woman has a orgasm on a roller coaster". Clicking on it will bring you to a YouTube phishing site that requests for a verification code and survey. What it does is actually to obtain your answers to help them earn money, then possibly hacking into your account after you'd done the survey. Of course, it will replicate the link back into your Facebook wall, thereby completing the viral spread to your friends. More details can be found via googling. Take care everyone! 最近有一個英文的臉書駭客活動,標題非常“性感”。點進去後會讓你以為是YouTube。填入認證密碼後,被害者會被邀請填上一些調查,臉書密碼也可能會被盜取。之後網站會把連接發在你的臉書牆壁上,讓其他人也一起上當。所以大家還是要小心!
