Recently in Malaysia trip Category

I was asked recently about my cartooning career during a chat with some friends. One question related was now that I

look side-ways to the people I used to look up to

how has my perceptions changed of myself or them. The only real difference I have made to meeting "celebrities" or people of note has been that they are essentially just people. Normal people. And I treat them that way, as I would to other friends or family. When I was in KL, I was given the chance to meet some of their most well know celebrities. I had no idea who they were and on what scale, and I found it refreshing that I could chat to them without having to choose too much about what to discuss with them. I think people place others on a pedestal out of respect for their achievements, but they do forget that they are just another human being. I respect those whom I looked up to in my career, but I won't place them on a pedestal above me. They are my equals.

To fill you all in on things on my trip, I had an awesome time despite my few moments. I'll take it day by day in steps and retrace what happened while i was away. In a few posts perhaps.

When I arrived in KL on 15/8/06 at approx some time late at nite..... Zona picked me up after patiently waiting around for me at the KLIA. After getting harassed as to what was in my luggage I managed to make it out and in to the terminal to locate her in the crowd. Looking as lovely as in her photos, after the 8 hour flight it was warming to see her smiling face in the crowd.
