Typhoon 8

IMG_1739Colleagues left the office before typhoon no.8 was hoisted in the late afternoon.  Being left alone in the studio with no immediate work to do, I decided to use the time to finish off a cartoon I started on Monday.

I still very much enjoy cartooning, sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be a full-time cartoonist, sketching and inking in front of the drawing board day-in and day-out, like Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson!  Wouldn’t that be fun?  But seriously, can I make a living doing cartooning/illustrations?

Goodbye 2015 x 1/2

IMG_1706Feeling low lately.  Reviewing the first half of 2015, time seems to have just flown by silently, what have I done in exchange of the precious time I’ll never claim back?

After recovering from major illness in the beginning of the year, I promised myself and God that I’ll better manage my time and live my days fully and purposefully.  I was at a spiritual high and my days were simple and fine.  But it didn’t take long until I returned to my lazy and sinful self.  I seemed to have fallen back down the spiritual valley and dreading my days without a soul.

Please forgive me, Oh Lord, for lavishing the time and gifts You have entrusted me, sinning and turning away from You.  I feel lost and weak, may You help me find my way back to You in the second half of 2015, let me live my life to the fullest like the way You intended.  Amen.

Creative Monday

IMG_1677I’ve filled this Creative Monday with Art.  It started with some cartooning in the afternoon, followed by oil painting and watercolor classes at night.  Never had I turned on my laptop for the entire day!

Sometimes I question why I persist in doing art.  For one thing, it’s simply something I enjoy doing.  For another, “Earth without art is just Eh.” =)

Father’s Day

IMG_1675When you were young and didn’t know any better, you were prone to make all kinds of silly unrealistic promises…  I think I was 7 or 8 years old when I made the bold promise of buying a Rolls-Royce and hiring a chauffeur for my father.  Years passed, but both my father and I still seem to hold vivid memory of that precious moment.

Doubt that I’ll ever be able to keep my promise and buy my father a Rolls-Royce, so I drew him a picture instead, hope he’ll like it.  Happy Father’s Day! =)

Elderly Home Visit

Our fellowship teamed up with another fellowship to visit an elderly home this afternoon.  It’s Dragon Boat Festival, but public holiday didn’t seem to be any different for the elderly.  I wonder where their families were?

The elderly all seemed rather lonely when we first got there, but as we carried out the prepared programme (singspiration, drama, game, sharing,…), more and more smiles started appearing on their faces.  I quite enjoyed my role as an amateur photographer, observing the course of events and trying the capture all the precious smiles.

They seemed to appreciate our brief visit very much, but it saddens me a little thinking that they’ll return to their lonely faces after we’re gone.

36th Birthday

IMG_1639

Gave myself a day-off today.  Watched a movie that was recommended by my sister.  The movie was about the true story of a world famous Korean tenor who lost his singing ability due to sickness, a precious God-given gift vanished all of a sudden.  It was an inspiring movie, I kept asking myself what my gifts are and what if I no longer be able to use those gifts?

Could Art be my God-given gift?  What if I lost the ability to draw/paint?  The truth is, I’ve always been mediocre in many areas of my life, not many of my abilities stand out prominently that I would consider as God-given gift.

At 36, still often feeling lost in life, I pray that God would continue His guidance in leading me to a purposeful life, revealing His glory in all that I do and say.
