Animal Portraiture
After my uncle passed away more than 2 weeks ago, I seemed to have become more withdrawn, quiet, and serious. I also seemed to have grown more conscious about the limit of our time in this world. The question about life’s purpose also pops up more often in my mind these days, what does God […]

Mourning… (end)
It was about this time last week when my uncle passed away. I’ve since started a week long mourning by avoiding any kind of social gatherings including Sunday worship, calligraphy class, and fellowship. The avoidance came natural as I have the habit of hiding myself when I’m down. I’ve also tried out an unorthodox therapy […]

Mourning…
Called up my calligraphy teacher to tell him of my absence tomorrow morning; Messaged my fellowship committee to inform them of my absence this Friday evening. I think I could really use some time to mourn of my uncle’s death. I’m still sad (with some regrets too) and easily sobs when I think of the things […]

R.I.P. Uncle
Since visiting my uncle at the hospital and seeing his worsening condition more than a week ago, I have been researching about how to help my uncle review his life to make him know that he has lived a meaningful life. I was almost ready to start mocking up a list of questions to ask […]

2nd Half-Marathon Completed!
Completed my 2nd half-marathon with an improvement of ~15 mins (unofficially) compared to last year! Thankful. Building upon experience from last year, this year’s run seemed more pleasurable and less exhaustive, it felt like I can run an extra 1 or 2k after passing the finish line! Perhaps I can attempt to run a full marathon […]

Keep Your Legs Moving…
The 10k streetathon last Sunday was a bit of a disappointment, poor planning and preparation of the organiser had many runners including me stop way too often for way too long along the way. Hot weather and street side air pollution were a couple of other disappointing aspects of the run. Perhaps due to adequate practice, […]

Hospital Visit
Before leaving home for my calligraphy class in the morning, my dad told me that my uncle was admitted to the hospital. I decided to join my parents to visit my uncle after class. According to my aunt, my uncle’s condition was really bad on the weekend and she had to call the ambulance to […]

Meaning of Life?
My uncle’s (father’s younger brother) liver cancer has relapsed and my aunt was told to prepare for the worst. It’s time like this that makes me stop and question about the meaning of life. Just when I was starting to procrastinate about the many things still unfinished before the end of the year, my uncle’s news […]

Starving for Art
I felt a sudden urge to do art recently. I think it all started on the Sunday morning when I arrived early at JCCAC before the craft fair. I arrived there after Sunday service, with a couple of idle hours before the start of fair, I slowly strolled around the quiet building. Passed by many […]

Claude Monet Exhibition
Finally decided to see the Claude Monet exhibition this afternoon. It’s my first time seeing an exhibition of an impressionist artist, not to mention one of the pioneers of the field. I didn’t seem to be too impressed with the impressionist paintings, but I was really captivated by the life of the artist. According to […]
