All that I have



This is all I have, though this gift is small, it doesn't mean that it's not good. Whoever says that being a lawyer or a doctor is the only way of living well? At the end of the day, will it make you happy working in something you don't like? Most parents would tell their kids that when they grow up, they should become a doctor or a lawyer or a professor, how many would encourage their children to be an artist, a musician, a game designer or even a photographer? Does money or working in white collar companies equate to happiness?

Living in a world that is so stereotyped in what is good or not, we often committed the same mistake of following our peers or people in doing things that we THINK is good and forgo things that we love to do. The way that an object is designed determines it's destiny. The stripes, design of it's claws and teeth on the tiger means that it's destined to be a predator. The wings on an eagle shows that it's destined to fly high and mightily in the sky, and it would be funny to see it instead of flying, it's pecking corns all day with the chickens.


Similarly, the way that we're "designed", the talents that we have and what we really like to do, determines our destiny. What are you created for? Don't know? Then ask the one above. Everyone has something that they're good at, and there's no exception. All it takes is a leap of faith.

Life and crashes

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time


~Everything in it's Time
by corrinne may

These lyrics speak to me and is everything that i've been facing nowadays, so all I could do now is really to be Patient
and watch out for the signs. It encourages me somehow and I hope it encourages whoever is reading this post.

Listening to this song NOW is the best choice you have made today. :D

I've decided

to not go overly crazy this time and just simply paint the owl instead of some chicken little look alike. So here you go, an owl.

Painting and designing

School has been fine for the first week. We were asked to paint some kid's drawing into something better and so i tried.

Original:


My version:


I know the end product looks nothing like the previous one, but we were asked to go crazy over it and so I did!
That's all for today.

Time flies when you're having fun and you just wished that time can stand still. Sadly, like a river always flowing forth, so is time.

16 April: First of all, thank you to those who remembered this day for me. Celebrating your day with your loved ones and friends never fails to give a fuzzy warm feeling. Thank you for everything even though I did not say it out loud, please do understand that I truly appreciate whatever you all have done for me. What a Day! I've ate 3 different kinds of cake in less than a week, and I'm so glad to say that I've broken a new Record! :D Haha.. Anyways, thank you to the following people who have wished me:

Mic bay, Gladys, Sherie, Suyin, Shi Feng, Li Xin, Amanda, Yu Ting, Sasha, Pervie, Nick, Hsien Tze, Jona, Yani, Audrey, Kenneth, Litu, Shawn, Pei Ling, Fid, Sophia, Yan Ren, Aunty Suan Choo, Gary, Deanna, Gladys Yang, my family, kenny and pastors...
If i missed out anyone, sorry about that because i have short term memory. HAHa..but thanks anyway.



April has been a great month! Went to ECP for cycling while felling off the bike several times because I laughed too much or went into screen saver mode, I've get to chop of my tresses, meet new friends, get to know more of my old friends and have a great time laughing at lame people!

The old is gone, the new has come, welcome to year 3.

Guess who


So my friend asked me to draw this for him on the spot >__> . After drawing this for about an hour or so, I've realized that I gotta brush up my human drawing. Year 1 Campaign was G R E A T today.

Old drawing--

I like doing this






I'm so inspired after looking at ANTZ's blog. Just looking at it makes me want to explode out of inspiration. It's so much that I had to take out my pen and start sketching right after looking at his work and a few of the links I went in the blog even when i could feel my 0.8 MICRON pen running low on ink. I'm planning to color them real soon.

There's so many things that I want to do in life, but it's too bad that I couldn't do everything all at once because time and money isn't on my side especially when school term starts. However, here are somethings that would like to do that aren't work related:

Violin,
driving,
diving,
cycling from home to other parts of singapore,
holidaying overseas with my family.....etc

Boil oh boil oh boil



Stayed up pretty late yesterday to finish Boil, however when I looked at it again today, it just don't look right to me. Hence, I've decided to edit some more until I'm happy :D.



~"We're all born original but most of us died as a copy". Sounds profound but it's not.

Boil



This is what I've been up to. Up in the middle of the night just trying to get it look right.

April Fools





1st of April is the day where human beings start to prank one another and I'm so GLAD that I managed to prank a few of them. :D
That said, I've finally settle myself down to actually work on something from my mini sketch book.

4月1日是我感道最愉快的一天。
