Home Salon and Spa

Good Monday morning and a happy Awal Muharram to all Muslims out there!

Yes. That means another public holiday in Malaysia! To all non Malaysians who at the office now tinkering on the usual Monday blues, here is a comic. At least it would help you forget about the blues for the next minute or so.

In today's strip, we shall explore a little bit more about Jon.

Enjoy.

New word of the day: "Kotek" means penis.
Apparently, Jon is a huge prankster.

Freaking trolls everyone if he could. Especially after he buys a new pair of scissors. Never joke around with him about getting a haircut.

That asshole.

Before signing off, do check out the comic's official Facebook page for there is a special video just uploaded about a day ago and it has a special announcement in the end! It's a bit lengthy at the start but you can actually see a real life version of me! A good way to see how I really look like (and talk) in real life! So, what are you waiting for? Go and view that video now!

SPECIAL COLLAB: Held Hostage

Okay. So today's comic strip is supposed to be a different one but last night the bro's household was intruded and I was held at knife point thus today's comic took a detour and I was forced to tell something else entirely.

I will need everyones cooperation in this matter. This serious matter is seriously serious.

Please do it. For my sake. I still do want my balls intact.
Yes. As some of you might not have known, the finalists for the Nuffnang Blog Awards 2011 has been announced quite some time ago and unfortunately, I failed to make it to the finals. I guess the judges don't tolerate noobies like me. But two of my friends made it and they are:


Still holding me at knife-point.

Chee Ching from cheechingy.com who made it to the finals for the "Most Original Blog Design" category and

Still harassing me from the side.
...Kenwooi from kenwooi.com  who made it to the finals for the "Hidden Gem" category!

Chee Ching in a way represents Malaysian Comic Bloggers because she is the only Malaysian Comic Blogger who made it to the finals. So if she wins, at least I will feel Malaysian comic blogging scene got some hope and future. As for Kenwooi, well, his blog is just awesome because he talks a lot about boobies. The bros love boobies. So, both of them deserve every vote they can get.

This will be the last run that I help promote them on this site (as I have in my previous two postings) as the closing date for voting is on 27th November 2011. That is only slightly 3 days away from now. So I thought of giving them one last push by doing a special comic to help them to rally more votes before the voting phase ends.

Help me. Cheeching is going to castrate me if she doesn't win. And Kenwooi is going to help. Please vote for them. Save my balls. Vote now!

Have a great weekend.

No, Thank You

Monday is back once again! Here's a question:

Have you ever met certain people in public requesting something but you have to decline and it happened so often it became like a habit of yours?

Today's strip has something to do with it.

Let's see if you get the message in today's comic.

Time to break the habit.
A little translation is required I guess:
Second frame: "Hello handsome boy! You want to watch some DVDs? Very good! Very satisfying! I have porno!"
Third frame: "Alms please. I need to smoke some wee- oops! I mean my mom is very sick at home..."

Moral of the story: Always say yes to people (chicks) who want to take picture with you.

Lesson learnt.

Say yes more often.

Also, don't forget to vote for my friends, Chee Ching and Kenwooi for the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011!
She is having me at gunpoint.
He promised me awesome boobie pictures.
So, do vote for them as they are representing Malaysia for two categories "Most Original Blog Design" and "Hidden Gem! If you are a Malaysian, do it for Malaysia! If you are not Malaysian, do it cause they are seriously awesome! Also, if they do win, it will make me feel good. Help make me feel good. Seriously. Vote now!

Washing Dishes

Good Thursday morning everyone! Just another day and then it's the weekend! Hang in there!

I have nothing much to say right now as my mind wanders off into a glorious weekend ahead! Let's cut to the chase.

Here's a comic for you to kill some time before the weekend officially begins!

"Oh, yeah? Like killing only what? 20 seconds?" 

Shut up.

Enjoy today's comic!

Seriously, Jon. Why didn't you stop?
Here's the thing: Don't f*** with Jasmine.

Apparently that never got into the logic of the bros in the house.

It's like I already knew what happened.
Yes, Jasmine is the only girl that lives with the bros in the house (in case many of you have yet to realise that). How does she manage to bear living with the bros, is another one of the world's unsolved mysteries.

Oh yeah! BEFORE I sign off, as you might have known, the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2011 is coming and the voting phase has begun! No, I did not get nominated but that's okay. I'm still an Internet noob. Somehow, not one, BUT TWO awesome friends of mine are nominated instead! I'm jealous, but how cool is that?! They are:

Chee Ching from cheechingy.com for the "Most Original Blog Design" category (she was bad-ass enough to come up with that cute picture you see above which is very clicky and very awesome) and our favourite booby loving "sei ham sap lou"...

Not a clicky link thingy. Sorry.
...Kenwooi from kenwooi.com for the "Hidden Gem" category! Very glad that he is nominated for this category rather than some bullshit hack of a jackass blog.

So, do vote for them as they are representing Malaysia for those two categories! If you are a Malaysian, do it for Malaysia! If you are not Malaysian, do it cause they are seriously awesome! Also, if they do win, it will make me feel good. Help make me feel good. Seriously. Vote now!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Toilet Cockroach, part 2

Aaannnd I'm back from yet another trip! How have you guys been?

It's Monday and you know what that means: Time to work your ass for your boss so you don't get fired. Or slack off and ready today's comic!

But a special message to those engulfed in the turmoils of examinations. Here's a wish from me and the bros: GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST!

Don't f*** up.

So, continuing from where we left off last week, I encountered a roach in the toilet and enlisted Jamus's 'expertise' to rid off that vermin. He didn't do a very good job. Turns out the "demon's" rampage was far from over and was only the beginning when it continued to ignite deeper fear into our souls and escalate the entire household into utter madness.

Okay, I might have exaggerated on that. But that sonofabitch did commit more atrocities in that small area of the house within that short period of time.

Here is how.

Click here to read PART 1 first if you haven't.

Always run away from Jamus the Mr. Cockroach-face.
THE DEMON! THE DEMON!!!!

I shall stop screaming so much from now on. I promise.

Have an awesome Monday and an awesome week ahead everyone!

Toilet Cockroach

This is yet another scheduled posting

If you are reading this right now, I am most probably somewhere slightly down south right now for yet another trip (not nearly south enough to be in hell even though many people think I deserve that) so I won't be able to respond to your comments or emails for a few days. So please don't be offended or terkilan that when you do not get a reply from me. I just happen to be away a lot these days.

Okay that aside, recently there was a terror in the house and it seems to be above its evolutionary standards. Its faster, smarter and more dangerous than any of us expected.

Read on to find out what it is.

Seriously, HOW?
Okay, I'm actually not terrified of cockroaches seriously. I just don't like having to deal with them in small enclosed spaces.

They move too fast sometimes and the speed they exhibit is abnormally demonic.

And they survived since the dinosaur ages.

That just proves that sometimes God just wanna f*** with us.

Have a great weekend guys! I will be back on Monday!

CONTEST: Nuffnang Blog Awards, Here I Come!

Good morning everyone!

I sense that today there isn't any Monday blues going around because its a public holiday today in Malaysia! Awww yeahh! Wishing all my Muslim readers Selamat Hari Raya Haji!

So, I'm sure that most of you are still in bed relishing the day like nobody's business and I wish I could too but I promised in my previous post that there will be a comic for today so here I am. Me and my damned mouth.

Unless you are a hardcore comic reader or not from Malaysia and happen to be slacking off in the office or at school and swallowing the Monday blue pill on routine, I guess this comic justifies its presence today.

Today's post is a little different as this will be my first Nuffnang related post and it is a competition where I am trying to win some invites. Damn you peer pressure! Don't worry though, it's still has the brosome factor in it!

If you have been following the Nuffnang news on their site, you will notice that the time has come once again for the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards for 2011! (also that I am the featured blogger of the month of November *cough* self promo *cough*) 

This thingy. If you don't see it I may have mistakenly placed a picture of an invisible pink unicorn instead.

I saw awesome pictures of what happened in the awards of previous years and it influenced me to want to win those invites as I have never been to any award show before so this is my small chance to actually try to get my ass at one!

Well, also that Jian from akiraceo.com told me he will be writing a post to win the invites as well (you can read his entry HERE) made me jelly and it challenged me to try to win those invites so I don't feel left out later. Damn Jian for making me succumb to peer pressure!

Here is my entry on it. Better yet, its a 9 framer! Enjoy!

The result of having an ideas balance of zero at my local creativity bank.

Okay, I know my top three reasons are all the same and it might reduce my chances to win those invites but c'mon, do I REALLY need any other reasons for a guy like me?

Yes. I'm a sad desperate f***.

So, on 16 December 2011, 500 bloggers from around the Asia-Pacific region will flock to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards 2011 (brought to you by Volkswagen Malaysia and Putrajaya Marriott) in Putrajaya Marriott. The Awards aims to not only honour the region's best bloggers, but also to bring together blogger communities from all across Asia-Pacific!

Want in on it? Head onto HERE NOW and join in the fun!

Okay Daryl, I will take a look at that magazine now.

This Post Is Dedicated To You!

YOU! Yes, you! The one slacking off at work/ in class/ at home and reading this right now!

Before I continue, sorry for the delay in today's posting. I got stuck in meeting. Now I'm back to business. I'll let you know first that there is no comic today but I would like to take this opportunity to ramble on things you might not care about say something. Bear with me it might be a bit wordy.

This will be the first post for November and it is rather special to me because so many good things has happened so early in this month which I have not seen it coming ever since I began drawing comics online in September last year. Not to mention that November is also my birthday month so I would guess all these gifts are the best gifts I've received so far. Coincidental as it might be, I am very touched and deeply grateful.

First off, if you have been updated by the comic's official Facebook page, (Yes. That is where I post all my latest updates of the ongoings related to the bros and the comics, so click 'LIKE' if you haven't now!) you may have noticed that lately the comic series has received acknowledgements from two big players in the media industry.

A week before November, I received a call from Thara of Nuffnang, informing me that I will be November's featured blogger of the month. It was something that I had never expected to have from the very first day I signed up with Nuffnang. I remembered scrolling down their website and seeing that they have a column on the bottom left and featuring bloggers every month. I told myself at that time, "Fat hopes you Chinese geek boy you will never get to be featured in Nuffnang! Muahahaha!" The mouth of my subconscious mind is very cruel to me sometimes.

Nevertheless, after a year and a month, I was actually announced the featured blogger of the month!

Who's laughing now you stupid subconscious mind?! You f***!
I curse to myself a lot.

Anyways, I hope you are not straining your eyes to read the text in that image so here's the link to the full article in case you haven't read it yet. 

I extend my deepest thanks to Nuffnang for having me and giving me something which was beyond my expectations.

Then, within the next two days, my comic (alongside several others) was featured in the Star Newspaper's RAGE column as a cover story. For those outside Malaysia who aren't able to get themselves a copy more less get to read the article, here is the full scanned version. I hope you don't have to strain your eyes though.

Yes. That ugly guy in purple is me. Pouleen is so young. Wai Kit doesn't wear yeollow. And Jian is not actually a cat. That fact alone disappoints me.

Still too small to see the text? Here's a link to the online version.

Special thanks to Jason from jasonmumbles.com for doing this write up of us and also to the editors and the guys at the Star! I am deeply grateful for this opportunity to be featured in the newspaper. At least now I finally get to be in the newspaper for all the right reasons.

Also, I never mentioned it anywhere but I have also reached the milestone of my 100th comic strip and I hadn't realised it up till now. It's about 105+ strips already actually and I was so engrossed in churning out strips week after week that I was entirely oblivious to this. Another milestone achieved earlier was also the 1,000th like on the comic's Facebook page. All of these that were beyond what I had expected the moment I decided to begin drawing comics on the Internet.

So much, in such a short time and I do really hope I will be able to keep this momentum. But what I am trying to say here is that, all of these could not have come to be if it weren't for you, the person reading this right now. Your continuous and undying support has been the fuel for me to keep going with this series and I admit there were really tough times where I just wanted to toss my computer out the 15th floor window and give up entirely but all the likes, the comments, the responses, the shares, the reviews, the etc. that you guys pour out thus far has ensured that I do not lose my sanity to my comics. I know this is a little cliche and you may have heard it a million times but it still does not deny the fact that I could not have done it without every single one of you. Friends, families, enemies and all.

I am touched by all your kind words and encouragement and I will continuously do my best to pour out the best quality content for your cognitive pleasure as long as I do not suffer a burn out which I honestly do hope of not having.

I do not know how to show my gratitude in a justifiable manner and thanking each and everyone of you name by name will take ages as the list will go on and on.

Therefore, I shall do it in the only way I know how. Remember, this is dedicated to you.

GO, BRO! GO!
May the series only get bigger and better from here! Thank you my dear bros for always letting me get away with it.

Thank you for your time if you did read it all the way from the beginning. Even if you didn't that's still okay because your presence here means so much to me.

Thank you all once again! I shall go wipe my tears now.

Have a great weekend guys!
