I know Aulia for quite some time, and it’s very rare to see him smile like this. He was smiling because he was happy to meet his childhood heroes, Elmo and Cookie Monster. But beneath, I think it was the the smile of a person who made choice in his life, which makes him happy no matter the price he has to pay. Respect for that! Smile wider, Ol, you earned it…

My best friend Luki doesn’t like having her picture taken so I draw her instead. She told me that the biggest reason for her to smile today was that it was her first chinese new year where she realized that she has chinese blood runs inside her.

“OMG…you guys are such good artists it makes me feel so small and sad”, said Millaty while laughing during the sketchTU.

So I asked her, “And that makes you happy because…?”

She said, “Because I am always happy even when I am sad”

Having a friend like her will make you smile often :)

Alam told me that his wide smile was because he was imagining a new life with his new lover (in the pic) in origami world.

And I thought he was going to say something about how great it feels, having a copywriter that can make logo. Ah well…
