Aww, thank you so much, fellow Malaysian! Your work is very warm and pretty as well.

Ehhhhhh! You're a Malaysian too! Wow how awesome is that! I thought you're from US since it was stated in your front page. Maybe you've already migrated there? So which part of Malaysia do you from? I'm from Seremban
Aww, that coming from you means so much for me. In my mind, I wish to draw something warm like yours but it always came up 'colorful' as many of people say. T_T But I'm glad that you think so, its really an honor :'D

Oh no, sorry for the late reply! I haven't been logging on to dA as much these days... I'm originally from Shah Alam! I've been living in San Francisco for the past 3 years, but I do miss home a lot. I've never been to Seremban. What is it like there? O:

Oh its okay, I understand 
Oh, nothing much about Seremban, its a bit smaller than Shah Alam haha. I wish I can live and work in KL though.
Anyway, just saying that your artwork is very internationally appealing, hopefully one day I can reach your level too :') thank you for being an inspiration to me and others <3

Living abroad is definitely a huge eye-opener. I'm still a student, and this is my final semester. 
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words and good luck in all your artistic endeavors! (I'm not sure if 'reaching my level' is a huge achievement though.)

awww this is your final sem already?? And then you'll be back in Malaysia ? orrrr you gonna stay there? (sorry if I asked too much question lol x_x)
Haha for me your level is pretty high you know. Just wanted you to know. Its very admirable and inspiring :')

If I can, I want to work here for a bit... gain some experience, learn, and we'll see what comes after. Maybe I'll teach? Or try a different part of the world? I don't know yet. 
What about you? Are you a student yourself?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I think that you should try to work there too. Gain some experiences and social networks there first before coming back to Malaysia hahaha. ><
Mm, nah I already worked as a freelance illustrator here.

Yours and mine both! I actually had the opportunity to feed the giraffes at our local zoo a few weeks ago, and in my mind it was very, very much like this.

This reminds me of 'Dikkertje Dap', but I see that there have others saying the same as well...
But I can over you to translate the song if you wish? I believe I've done it once for English classes so I can put it up immediatlley.
Anyway, cute >w<

And here it is!! Sorry if it is off, it has been a long time..
Anyway anything between the brackets are the English translations.
Note : Dikkertje Dap can be translated to ' Fatty Dap ' But I prefered Dikkertje Dap... :T
Anyway enjoy and I apologize for the long wait.

Dikkertje Dap klom op de trap
[Dikkertje Dap climbed the stairs]
's morgens vroeg om kwart over zeven
[In the early morning a quarter after seven]
om de giraf een klontje te geven.
[To give the giraf a cube of sugar]
Dag Giraf, zei Dikkertje Dap,
[Goodday Girad, said Dikkertje Dap]
weet je, wat ik heb gekregen?
[Do you know what Iβve gotten?]
Rode laarsjes voor de regen!
[Red boots for in the rain!]
't Is toch niet waar, zei de giraf,
[It canβt be true, said the giraf,]
Dikkertje, Dikkertje, ik sta paf.
[Dikkertje, Dikkertje, Iβm tongue tied]
O Giraf, zei Dikkertje Dap,
[Oβ Giraf, said Dikkertje Dap,]
'k moet je nog veel meer vertellen:
[Iβve more to tell :]
Ik kan al drie letters spellen:
[I can spell three letters : ]
a b c, is dat niet knap?
[A,B,C isnβt that bright?]
Ik kan ook al bijna rekenen!
[I can also do some maths!]
Ik kan mooie poppetjes tekenen!
[And draw pretty man on the paper!]
Lieve deugd, zei de giraf,
[Dear heavens, said the Giraf,]
Kerel, kerel, ik sta paf.
[Boy, Boy, Iβm tongue tied.]
Zeg, Giraf, zei Dikkertje Dap,
[Say, Giraf, said Dikkertje Dap,]
Mag ik niet eens even bij je
[May I, for once,]
stiekem van je nek afglijen?
[Glide of, of your neck?]
Zo maar eventjes voor de grap,
[Just for the fun of it,]
denk je dat de grond van Artis
[Do you think that the ground of Artis]
als ik neerkom, heel erg hard is?
[hard is when I land?]
Stap maar op, zei de giraf,
[Step on it, said the Giraf]
stap maar op en glij maar af.
[Get on and slide of my neck.]
Dikkertje Dap klom van de trap
[Dikkertje Dap climbed the stairs]
met een griezelig grote stap.
[And with one shuddering step.]
Op de nek van de giraf
[On the neck of the Giraf]
zette Dikkertje Dap zich af,
[Pushed Dikkertje Dap himself off]
roetsjj daar gleed hij met een vaart
[Roetsjj, and there he went with a small pace]
tot aan 't kwastje van de staart.
[Untill the tip of the tail]
Boem!
[Boom!]
Au!!
[Ouch!!]
Dag Giraf, zei Dikkertje Dap.
[Goodday Giraf, said Dikkertje Dap]
Morgen kom ik weer hier met de trap.
[Tomorrow I wonβt be climbing the stairs.]

Omg, what a lovely lovely song! It makes me want to write a children's book based on it.
