the power of words

my friend, liang sien, told me this words and it struck me while i was in the midst of looking for a job. i wonder whether the job i'm taking can be a real career or just a job.

btw, thanks liang sien for the inspirational words! :)

kakashi sensei

it's been years since my bro's friend gave this to him. but he didn't touch it at all. out of patience, i painted it. he got quite upset when i showed the picture to him :P

Art Exhibition 2011

The most happening event in 2011! the art exhibition cum open house!

To introduce our school to new parents and children, our school had its open house in end of March. and to attract all of people to drop by our school, we combined it with art exhibition. we had only a month to figure out the design, what kinds of crafts we wanted to exhibit and who did what! it's crazy! it's not that i showed off i could do all of those things in less than a month, but it's simple outrageous! the coordinator needs to organize in detailed ahead for big events! and yes, i'm complaining in my blog! after all of the suffering and sickness of art (though we, all teachers, loved art and crafts before), we kinda proud of the result. and we're back loving the art and crafts again! :p

April Art&Craft Journal

Lots of drawing and coloring this month.



Actually I wanna make a story based on these characters, but it seems I have to postpone it for a while.

Thanks for the reference Caca!
Finally I can do stone painting! Yay!

March Art Journal

I followed this inspiring blog named "Moments of Perfect Clarity", which I think you should go check it out too (see my blog list). On the previous blog, she posted some pictures from her art journal, which was very artistic, for me, and it's good to sharpen our artistic and creativity side. So, I followed her lead. I made some drawings and I know they are not 'perfect' or 'original' or whatever, but I think I'm gonna continue doing this. It's fun!


I was inspired by Monk's theme song. Oh yeah, it's jungle outside! Ayuyoooo! (Credit to Nadine!)

Postponed Christmas Post!

Ok, I know today is year 2010!!! But I just realized there are so many pictures and stories that I haven't told. So please spare a day to tell some old stories of 2009!
First, it's been awhile since I haven't showed off my art and craft, so here they are:



I found joy when my students like my craft.
