20 cards to send all over the world! This is the easiest card assembly, and I somehow manage to screw up the last glueing part, hahaha.

Early this week, I had the opportunity to share my book and the art of paper engineer to kids at Sri Aria School in Bukit Jelutong.
I've learnt a lot of things from them and had so much fun.
Thank you to Ms. Fia, other teachers, and the students! #paperengineer

This picture of me trying to make a promotional marketing of my book is hilarious because, it's a metaphor of me being in the spotlight but it's too bright and a little bit blur that I have no clue what I'm doing 'cept that I have a book published.

Honestly, real. I went to a public library and spotted a few popup books. All of the popups were damaged heavily. Hurts my heart so bad, but they are kids...

Yello poppers! (Placeholder name for you fans) It is with great news that I finally can say I am a pop-up book publisher.
I have a new vision ahead for Matt Made Studios, and I hope you're following along. Here's to more popup books Made in Malaysia.

That's the rhythm of an assembling line of the paper engineer.
We're almost there to wrap up this project. In a months time, it would be a whole year working on this alone.
