Finally got a chance to watch this movie. The story feels a bit deep and I don't think younger kids can really appreciate the messages it's trying to convey, but nevertheless I still cried like a baby towards the end.
Had to think long and hard for this comic, solely because of the events that have happened recently, and particularly in Paris last Friday. But as most people have pointed out already, it's really not just Paris that we're praying for, it is also all the others who have suffered and all the things we believe in. So I couldn't just do a comic for Paris only. This is a dedication to the world.
We'll stay strong.

With the big four banks in Australia increasing interest rates, is the Australian property craze finally cooling down?
From what I can see, there are more properties on the market and fewer of them are up for auction. Some of them are actually selling for decent prices and there are fewer people at inspections too. Maybe I can finally afford something soon!
I'm quite glad that more awareness is raised for mental health issues these days - they can be serious, but hard to detect. People who have them don't necessarily talk about it. When they do, sometimes they might be seeking advice from people who think they're helping, but are actually making them feel worse.
Mental Health Week is all about understanding mental health and ensuring people are seeking the right help from the right places.
I have many phobias. Bugs are one of them...especially spiders...I would want to burn the house down if I see one...
Now before you all start condemning me for killing them - let's be honest here...I really wouldn't mind nicely ushering them out the door if only they would just stop trying to jump or crawl on me.
And for the record, my evil deeds do not go unpunished...I am plagued with nightmares of an entire population coming to kill me off and eat me alive....
Malcolm Turnbull just took over as Prime Minister this week. I don't know if things will be any different, but it's about time they got rid of Tony Abbott!
Also special thanks to: M'Shenda for the idea (team MT!) ;)
This is how I feel some days. I'm sure many people can relate.
On another note, why is this bunny still working in a paper-based world? Um...I have no idea. I guess I just wanted to have paper flying about as a special effect.
Bunnies are quite simple-minded like that. :)
Another colleague of mine left today. Each farewell makes me reassess why I'm still at this same place for so long. Is it time for all of us to move on?
Dedicated to: Jet
And also: Sunny, Jellyfa, Peter, Elsie, Chloe, Mark K, Brenny, Joyce, Kam, Lan, Alison, Michaela, Kwan, Elvis, and everyone with an August Birthday!
Special thanks to: Michael S. (due to your joke about getting me a carrot for my birthday instead of cake, since I don't like cake. :P)
Ever since I started working I've been committed to putting in the hard yards and doing long hours.
But that has also resulted in my health going down the drain.
These days, I'm just getting too old to be doing long hours anymore. And is it really worth it in the end? Well, if I got to choose all over again, I think my health would matter to me more. It may be a bit late, but I still want to change.
There's only a certain extent of the corporate ladder that I would want to get to. Once I get there though, I just want to stay at that level forever. I'd really hate to do the stuff that those director-level people do and I'd also hate to deal with the people they have to deal with.
Hope people aren't too shocked to hear this, but mtbunnies is actually created from a "glass half empty" kind of soul that really just wants to see the world as half full.
So many natural disasters lately, Nepal taking the biggest hit. Hope all our readers are safe and sound!
In other news, a friendly reminder that it's Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, 2nd of May! Check out your local bookstore to see if they have any events on. :) Most of them usually have free comics, cosplays and discounts.

(Marvel fans may notice the quote in the title of this comic. ^^
It's from the S.H.I.E.L.D comic series by David Hickman and Dustin Weaver.)
I used to have a set criteria list for my ideal property. But as the hunting goes on, you'll find it's almost impossible to match both your budget and criteria together.
(Unless you already have millions to spend and your only criteria was "penthouse in the middle of the CBD with ocean views"...)
So I notice I'm making a lot of sacrifices and watching the budget closely. Which is kind of sad, because house hunting is pretty serious stuff - you expect to live there for a long time, and with a mortgage, it's a long-term commitment! :(
This is my part 1 of my property hunting experience. Sydney property prices are going up like crazy and it's extremely competitive - on average there's around 20 or more people at each inspection.
Seems to be getting more futile to be able to afford anything on the market now...
Wow! Time sure flies. It has already been almost 1 year since the launch of mtbunnies.com and from the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank all the readers for all your love and support!
My dad actually said this to me a few weeks ago when I had the flu. I think he was just trying to be funny, but he wasn't really cheering me up, lol.
Conveniently, medicine bottles are always labelled with "Child Safety Cap", so when you can't open one, it's always a cue for someone else to point it out to you...
*Note: "Doki doki" in the last frame means the sound of heartbeat in Japanese.
Does anyone remember that episode of Seinfeld when George Costanza wants to name his future son "Seven"? Well...believe it or not but I have actually heard about a kid named Seven!
Time for a special bonus!!
These bunnies have been around in many comics but have never been properly introduced. There's nothing really special about them, but as with any supporting role, you can't really do without them!
Here they are:
**Note: The names Maki and Toki are actually derived from Korean, where "makki" means "the youngest" and "tokki" means rabbit.
How hard can it be to open an umbrella? And an AUTOMATIC umbrella at that! Well, I certainly failed. All I had to do was press a button and that was enough to put my face into pain...
Embarrassment aside, it has been a gloomy week in Sydney with a fair bit of rain.
Hope everyone still had an enjoyable Australia Day on Monday!
We all need some darkness in our lives in order to appreciate the warmth of the light.
Life should be simple, but it isn't. So please don't take everything too seriously.
