Running
The weather finally getting a little chilly in the morning. The sun was shining today after a couple of rainy and gloomy days, I couldn’t resist to go out for a run. Ran about 6k, longest run since getting back to my regular running practice at the beginning of the month. Took the day off […]

Creative Monday
Went to the cruise terminal in the afternoon to find a little peace and quiet. Read Ecclesiastes, my favourite book in the bible.

First Run since May

Brush Pen
Recently I started doing quick sketches using my calligraphy brush pen, and the results amazed myself! To my surprise, the months of training in Chinese calligraphy seems to have improved my life drawing skills as well, I can now sketch much freer and quicker and with better results! One of my recent endeavour is sketching […]

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 […]
