Comics: Changing Times

I feel a bit jelly :P In the beginning I was positioning myself as a mix of artist and influencer but when the books came along I retreated back to just an artist... I wonder if it is too late to go back now that I'm approaching 40 😅

Comics: Chasing

Recently many people around me are chasing after this drama series called Yanxi Gonglue or called "Story of Yanxi Palace". It's been some time since there's any decent historic drama to chase with a good story, acting and cinematography. But chasing after 70 episodes does feel like doing a marathon... How about you, are you watching this series too?

Comics: Snowball Effect on social media

I used to post a lot of my problems on my personal account and people would start commenting on what I should do even though they may not have done it before.

Then along the way there are flame wars and friends unfriended or blocked... somehow people are merciless to people whom they never met before. Hence now I keep most of the things to myself or just message my friends privately to rant. How about you? Do you have such problem?

Comics: The mysterious Shinjuku Station

Recovering from Inguinal hernia open repair surgery

This blog post is to share my experience with people who have hernia and what to expect after surgery. Diagnose I felt a small lump that comes and goes on my right groin without any pain at the beginning of the year so I ignored it for several months. Moreover I was rushing my 4th book at that time and had no time to see a doctor. I was worried if it's something serious, I would have to take time off from the book and I would miss the deadline. But I continued to ignore the lump after I was done with the book because it comes and goes, and there was no pain. However it became worse after a replacement yoga instructor took over a class that I regularly go to in June. She made us do a lot of hip opening, stretches and core work and I felt pain a few hours later. My right groin area was in small pain whenever I walked. I couldn't tell if it was the lump causing the problem or tendon/muscles got torn so I went to see both a masseur and a TCM (traditional chinese medicine
