Writing up my travel blog posts months late seems to becoming somewhat of a thing. But these last few months have been filled with launching an anthology of speculative fiction (which I will mention in this entry, since I read the majority of submissions in Cape Town), and news that my family and I will … More Cape Town, South Africa, Dec 5-15, 2013
Last night I was sitting in the front row of the cheapest seats at Istana Budaya, attending the Kings & Queen of Comedy Asia for the first time. This is the fourth year the event has been held, and I’ve lived in Malaysia all those years, but I’d never attended before due to not being … More My Comedy Obsession May be Gone, but Love Remains
I originally created this comic back in June 2011, but I never posted it here, so I’m going to go ahead and do that now, even though I’m not entirely happy with the ending.
I’ve decided to start using this blog as a way of occasionally promoting other lesser known creative types that I’ve enjoyed. Whether I’ve encountered them through social media, in person, or otherwise, I figure that it’s worth getting the word out about them. People like us don’t have multi-million dollar advertising budgets, so blogging and … More Promoting Lesser Known Artists: Gangster Macha
Whilst I’m not as big of a consumer of various media these days as I have been in the past, I have noticed there being a trend in the sorts of stories I enjoy. I’m not sure exactly when it started or why, but diversity is a part of the equation. Is it because when … More Diversity in Storytelling: We’re Getting There
When I initially booked this trip, it was because I had frequent flier points I wanted to use, but didn’t know what I wanted to use them for. So, since I’d enjoyed working with Oil in the Alley in Honolulu in November 2010 so much, back in April 2011, I’d discussed with Sean and R … More USA, February 16-27 2012
In 2007, I was in the US for my birthday. The previous year, Australia. We’d moved to Malaysia by the time my birthday rolled around in 2008. By pure coincidence, I had managed to be in 3 different countries, 3 years in a row. That alone made me want to try being in a different … More Macau, Hawaii and Hong Kong, November 13-29, 2010
If you don’t know me well, or you haven’t known me long, you would probably be unfamiliar with the fact I used to perform a bit of stand up comedy. I got into writing comedy at 15, when I was year 11 in high school, and started performing when I turned 16. My first public … More English-language stand up comedy in Malaysia
Monday 20th April 2009 Jeremy woke up at 4am to get to the airport on time to fly back up to Sydney, leaving behind his mum, Doyle and me. We got up more around 8am, and headed out sometime around 9:30am to catch the free city circle tram most of the way around the city, … More Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 2 (Apr 20-24)
Wednesday 15th April 2009 A complete day of travel today. We had Jeremy drive us to KL Sentral, where we arrived a bit before 9am, and were able to catch the 9am Skybus to the LCCT airport. We arrived about 20 minutes before check in opened, so I took Doyle to Marrybrown and got him … More Diary of Melbourne, 2009 part 1 (Apr 15-19)
