Are You Ready?


I asked my sister this morning , are you ready for Christmas?
She said no. haaaa.. me neither...
It's still November. I don't understand why we have to start all this so early. There have been people on my street who've had their trees up since the beginning of November.
I will still be shopping Christmas Eve to finish up. That seems to be a tradition of mine I guess. Always finding that last present or stocking stuffer to get before Christmas Day.........haaaa...

To me I am kinda exciting about the first ever Summer Christmas.

smile.....:)

words of wisdom


I
f, as Buddhism teaches, "all is in flux, and there is no permanence," how do we cope with the world around us? Do we flee from it? Do we merely resign ourselves to the fleeting nature of life? Or do we challenge it? In fact, an appreciation of the constantly changing nature of all things is the key to happiness, for it means that no matter how bad a situation is, it will change. No misfortune is permanent; no misfortune insurmountable.

I am back!!!

I've been gone for so long. I've been working on other projects
(a new studio and a new etsy shop)

6 month ago, I went home to Australia to visit my father who got scik. Surprisingly, I found some old “drawing” I did when I was a kid. I started drawing (doodling) before I could read and write. I must have been around 2 years old when I started. My daddy set out to collecting a lot of drawing from me ever since. Thanks daddy. ^V^
When I was 5 years old, I started taking drawing and painting lessons at an art school. I remembered my dad bought me Barbara Stecher's Sketchbooking as my birthday gift that year. This book raised my interest toward sketch. I started doing pen-and-ink sketches since then.
I remembered when I was in high school, in almost every weekend the art school teacher would bring us to the national park to draw. I was more concerned with the detail than the general shape of the scene. I usually sketched trees, flowers, branches and leaves. I would change their shape by adding different type of leaves or adding two more curvy branches or simplifying the flower etc. It was in those early years of practice and learning that I developed what would become the unique style I have today. ^^

This is one of my designs... i have a name for it: dancing flower.
