I thought I would be able to relax after sitting my one and only exam this year, but boy was I wrong! In addition to preparing for Overload 2011, I had to work my way through a lovely pile of illustration work which accumulated itself during my study break. Thanks to various distractions and my oh-so-skillful procrastination, I only managed to churn out a couple of chibi pictures. I pretty much did everything in a last minute fashion this year. Heck, I even arrived at the venue with only five minutes to put my stall together! Luckily, I didn’t suffer any printer trouble on the night before the event and I’d definitely like to thank my mum who helped me with lamination. I’m glad I got through the day successfully, albeit the lack of sleep.

Overload ’11 plans & Randoms
Overload 2011 is only two and a half months away and I haven’t started drawing yet. Is it time to panic? Perhaps. Amongst other things, my research project and university assignments are consuming most of my energy, which is evident in the fact that I can fall asleep almost immediately after settling in bed. I really need to stop dozing off while listening to my iPod or in the middle of sending a text to someone, both of which has been happening a lot lately. I’ll probably only have time to draw after my one and only exam this semester, which is in late-ish June. For now, I think it’s best to formulate a plan for Overload, especially when I plan to do a proper cosplay as well.
Help Japan & Various happenings
First of all, I would like to bring your attention to the auctions in progress on the LiveJournal community help_japan. I’m sure everyone is aware of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit the Touhoku region of Japan on 11 March 2011. With the help from kind contributors and donors from all around the world, help_japan is facilitating multi-fandom auctions similar to the immensely successful auctions on help_nz that were held a few weeks ago for the Christchurch earthquake. The auctions include fan art, writing, crafts and many more. Please take a moment to have a browse through the offers because there might be something of your interest and 100% of the winning bid will go towards an excellent cause.
