🌏 Weekend
It was Earth Day on Friday, I seized the opportunity to do some gardening and pampered the many succulents in the studio. Earth Day became Earth Weekend. On Sat., after having dim sum lunch with my family (my first dine-in since the 5th pandemic wave), I went home and cleaned up my little green corner. […]

Easter Weekend
The current pandemic wave has receded substantially from the peak of 50k+ COVID cases daily to the recent 3 digits. The Easter long weekend provided a good time for people to head outside for a little breather from the exhausting pandemic marathon. The streets were flooded with people as a result. I was still awaiting […]

WFH… Counting Down M(art)ch Break
Daily COVID cases has continued to decline this week to 4 digits. The government also officially scrapped the citywide testing that was planned for March, it might still happen in April, nothing is certain nowadays with our ever changing and often confusing and unscientific government policies. Regardless, I feel slightly relieved. The declining COVID cases […]

WFH… More Arts
After kickstarting Inktober52 and picking up some Chinese calligraphy on my own the week before, I kept on doing more art at home this past week. Although I had started Inktober52 with a few cartoons, the grand plot of the series is still unplanned. Did some research online and found inspirations from the Pokémon creatures. […]

Back From Vacation
Got home late last night (~11pm) from a 10-day vacation in Singapore with my family… It was my first time in SG, I was particularly taken away by its greenery everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. They truly live up to their “City in the Garden” reputation! It was a much needed vacation to rest my […]

Creative Monday
Finished my Chinese calligraphy practice early today. Spent a little time picking up watercolor afterwards. I haven’t done any serious watercolor painting since started taking calligraphy classes more than a year ago. I’m considering to join a watercolor contest that’s closing end of month (just 2 days left ?). I know full well that my watercolor […]

Date?
I wasn’t lying when I told my old UW fellowship b/s last night that I have a “target” from my church. Indeed, it just so happened that I invited her to go see an art exhibition with me this afternoon. If dating is simply defined as going out with someone you like and get to […]

Monday Artist
Decided to discontinue the weekly Monday night painting classes after the MK riot during CNY and knowing that the school I attended was responsible for an even more violent riot against the then British government back in 1967. I had been taking Monday night painting classes at the same centre for about 4-5 years, first […]
