"It's only through writing that I've ever been able to suppress life's personal disappointments. When I can't write I feel anxious and out of sorts and am easily riled, though I'm usually able to control my emotions..."
- Pramoedya Ananta Toer (The Mute's Soliloquy: A Memoir)
["Hanya dengan menulis aku mampu menekan segala kekecewaan peribadi hidup. Bila aku tidak menulis, aku merasa cemas & tidak keruan serta mudah gusar, walau selalunya aku bisa mengawal emosiku..."]

NOTICE OF APOLOGY

I'm so sorry to everyone who's waiting for update in my blog especially the latest news about my upcoming book, 'PENTAS REALITI: ASPIRASI SENI'. Since my mother passed away last 2 weeks, I tried to stand tough & looking at it as a fact of life. The first week it was difficult as I had to pick up my strength, energy & mind after more than 4 weeks of sleepless nights looked after her at Hospital Muar & Hospital Selayang. It was hard to realize that finally I am all alone in this world.

Yes I know, there you are standing & supporting me but nothing is the same compare to my mother, the only first person I call my 'strength' throughout the years since I was born. But nothing to worry as I was raised by her to be independant & think by myself. All throughout these years I've work hard to find my own path & reach for my dream to make her proud. Seeing her leaving so soon, I feel the effort seems worthless though yet meaningful.

9 years in this comic industry, I feel I've done nothing but nothing. But thanx to GEMPAK STARZ™ for giving me the opportunity to prove my talents. I didn't know I can get this far in the industry but how far I go, I don't feel like I can go any further. But am not giving up hope to make a good living either here in this industry or somewhere else.

Now, I don't have to prove to anyone or making anyone proud. Life is all about making a journey. I am unashame if one day this industry will throw me out & maybe you'll find me serving you a dine at restaurant or hotel. My duty is my responsibility, my dream is only a dream. I will do what I do best to keep moving in this industry. So I'll see you around soon with my new book 'PENTAS REALITI: ASPIRASI SENI' & as long GEMPAK STARZ™ support my journey, I will move on because this is where I begin & this is where it will end. TQ!

Yours Sincerely
FAKHRUL ANOUR (AYOUR)

My late mother with her beloved cat, Oppie who is still alive & well taken care by her brother (Pakcik Omar) & wife (Makcik) whom I call Ayah & Mak.
