Point Omega

2011-03-06T15:39:00.001-08:00

I had a wonderful encounter during my stay at home for this Chinese New Year, have met my second favourite book Point Omega by Don Delillo. Although I did not finished it yet and did not understand throughly, but I was very intrigued by the book, found inner peace. I am going to re-read it soon..
I really like one passage and it sounds like - The true life is not reducible to words spoken or written, not by anyone, ever. The true life takes place when we're alone, thinking, feeling, lost in memory, dreamingly self - aware, the submicroscopic moments.

Hand Stitch tote bag!

2011-03-02T08:40:00.000-08:00

>>> <<<

I have taken a new challenge after Christmas, always have fear of fabric work, but I thought why not just give it a try ? It was inspired by other fabric illustrations around, they have intrigued me deeply, sometimes I wanted to wear a skirt or a tote bag with all these handmade images on them. So I thought maybe I should make my own, and found out I really enjoyed the process, I stitched with great joy and satisfaction. I have made a handy size of tote bag as an experiment, picking all favourite colors coral pink, noble green, deep red...and took my mum's buttons from her 'treasure', the three line on the bag was taken from the last passage of my little writing (have a habit of writing a little when I was in the mood..) Wish to do more and more of this !

The three paintings in these few months

2011-01-23T08:02:00.000-08:00

I want to do a painting to dedicate my love to tea, different tea taste like different people.

It is very interesting when I tried to list out particular tea which would match certain people.

Almost like a combination of elements from different friends, memories. I think I like that fellowon the lower right corner the most, she is a bit like myself ha ha.

At the dinning table is a painting about humanity, I am not a fan of fur but haven't reach the

extreme of protesting it. It is just funny when I look at those fashionable gals/guys wearing fur and bounce around on the street. The painting features two trendy youngster enjoying a meal of some animals which are raise as cute pets, I used fairly tale colors to divert the attention of the cruel act towards the animals, like how people don't care about what is around them nowadays.

I did some changes on the first painting on wood, add a

the little head of the space-man.

Aim 6 paintings in 3 months.

2011-01-12T14:18:00.000-08:00

No update for almost a month, was working for the whole Christmas month. My new goal - 6 painting in 3 months, have done two already, four more to go ! Wooohooo

Trapped in thoughts - another dimension

2010-11-17T07:15:00.000-08:00

Took me more than 4 months to finish this painting, phewww. It is about the relationship between human being and spaces. I started this painting while I was trapped in my own thoughts all the time, as well as memories. I felt relief : finished the unfinished in the past, it's done.

I simply could not stop myself looking at this cute blondie in Hurwundeki, so I decided to draw him down, much easy way ha ha

And the other day, my friend requested for a massage very late at night,

I was tired but considered my friend's broken back,

I gave her a unprofessional massage - which was a feeling like ''Farming''.

I am intrigued by my old old drawings these few weeks, guess I am finally free from uni to draw random things and using colorssssssssss, wow

I thought of a strong bond, but bond is always fragile. A connected soul.

Perhaps I am idealizing it - to find someone who understand you and accept all the parts of you, even twisted concepts/values, that is the most difficult thing you can accomplish. Some people search it for a life time, some had it but not cherish it. Spoil things like they are excessive.

A few moment, I was sitting in a bloody nice cafe with friends, I would wish somehow/ one day I would bring you here, it's such a nice place, and you are the one I want to share with, simply just the happiness of sharing. Or I saw things that you would like, and have an urge to buy it. It all make sense, really make sense.

Perhaps afterall I am really idealizing it.

ohhhh women women

The Lost project

2009-02-09T14:05:00.000-08:00

A girl came to a new place. No sooner, she found the city wasn't like how she imagined.
She was alone with a disappointed helpless soul. She was lost in the new city.

"...My heart within me like a stone
is numbed too much for hope or fear
Look right, look left, I dwell alone
I lift my eyes but dimmed with grief.."

Christina Rossetti
