Easter Monday
Through a flyer I came across after strolling around a christian bookstore, I discovered and signed up for an art jamming session on this Creative Monday. I’ve been wanting to try out art jamming and learn to paint with acrylics for many years, but passed many opportunities due to timing and cost. Today’s art jamming session […]

Goodbye 2017 Q1
Almost forgot it’s public holiday today. I went back to the studio as usual after my weekly calligraphy class. The studio seemed particularly quiet, I took some time to fold up 3 months of daily to-do lists. Much of the goals I’ve set up for this quarter was left untouched. Where has the time gone? […]

Creative Monday
There was time to spare after I finished my chinese calligraphy homework, I attempted for the first time to do animal portraiture with a real calligraphy brush on chinese rice paper. Feel really inadequate with my skill. Think I’m much better off to stick with my faithful brush pen for now.

Keep Running
Made an effort to continue my running practice this morning while the weather still permits. I’ve always been thankful for the luxury to flexibly schedule my working hours, it’s rather pleasurable to be able to run and sweat in the morning before getting busy with the day. Recently, the luxury to run in the morning […]

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After my uncle passed away more than 2 weeks ago, I seemed to have become more withdrawn, quiet, and serious.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 […]

Starting Life Anew
After a week of mourning and using cartooning and bible scriptures to help myself emotionally cope with my uncle’s passing away, I wished to start life anew this week. I started my running practice again, made 3 short morning runs over the week, the associated endorphins generated seemed to help. I also started a new daily routine […]

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 […]
