So last week we have just released the very first teaser for the upcoming BoBoiBoy The Movie: Sfera Kuasa. Lots of mixed reviews I have to say but most of them are positives (thank goodness). Not just from kids, even adults were stunned by it especially when they saw the improvement of the graphics. Honestly, I myself was amazed when I first saw the rendering output. Never has thought that the rendering team would come out with something like that. Amazing.

When it was founded in September 2009, Animonsta Studios has only 7 staffs. After a few months, it has grown and more people have joined in. Animonsta Studios has moved out from the incubator of MAC3 to its own office space at SME 3 in late 2011. Back then there were only 15-20 staffs working hard to produce the animation, BoBoiBoy.

Few years later, BoBoiBoy has been a successful product of the company and more people have joined in. Now, there are almost than 50 people all in. From the management division to the pre-production team, production and post-production division. Of course the current space still can fit in 50 people but it'll be too packed and most of us won't be comfortable working in that kind of environment. So, we have to move to a bigger place.

Alhamdulillah, we managed to get one. It's not that far. Well, just one floor above our current office but the space is much, much bigger. It has been 3 years breathing, working, sleeping at LG-03 and by December 19th 2014, we've officially moved out.

The new studio isn't 100% completed. It will take around another 2-3 months to get everything done. However, thankfully they managed to get the production area ready for us to continue with our daily production.

More updates to come in the coming weeks or months. Can't wait to see the 2nd phase of the studio.

A good Sunday morning. Planning to take the family for a jalan-jalan but not sure where to go. Then, something came up to my mind "eh, tak pernah sampai lagi Aquaria. JOM?" and Aquaria it is.

Dulu-dulu selalu rasa Aquaria punya entrance fees mahal gila dan sebab tu lah tak pernah sampai ke sana. Until, today.

Truthfully, Zahra is not really a fan of fishes. She's more of a cat lover. Dog too sometimes (sebab jiran sebelah ada bela anjing and everytime nak pergi ke nursey pagi-pagi she always intai the dog). But, we wanted to expose her to the other things too such as, fish!

After spending almost 30 minutes in Aquaria, we end up at the gift shop. Well, pergi tempat ikan patutnya beli la souvenir related to ikan kan? But she wanted a white tiger plushy. Oh boy. Ok lah, we bought that for her (banyak betul plushies dekat rumah). Then we went for a small 'picnic' at the KLCC Park (even though panas gila tengah hari tu).

So in the end, we realized that dia taklah minat sangat tengok ikan-ikan semua ni. Ok, next time we go to tempat yang ada binatang bulu-bulu ok?

I've always admired Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit on his journey towards success. How he and his partner Steve Huffman co-founded Reddit, what drives him to stop from being a 'just a worker' to a founder of a start-up.

On one of his interviews he said, everyone can be an entrepreneur in this modern world of the internet era. From that moment onwards, I've been following on some of his work.

I was so excited when he announced that he's writing a book about his journey on entrepreneurship and also how he founded Reddit, Hipmunk and Breadpig.

Now I've finally got my hands on his book, Without Their Permission.
