Little Things 54 : Not Yet

Your life won't stop when : you failed your exam, lost your job, got divorced, rejected, ignored, announced bankrupt, missed a date, got left on the altar, got humiliated, figured that you are a gay, or even lost one foot or eye.  It will stop when you die.  Eventually you will die, and that is when your life stops.  So for any misfortunes in life, learn to adapt and surviv...

Doodle : The Machine

* Hello ! I was asked by a client to draw on wooden mirror based on my previous star & cloud machine to be given to her friend as a birthday present. It's been awhile, I enjoyed making this ! :D It reminded me of the time when I accepted a lot of commission works.  I hardly accept commission works since I got a little busy with other things in my life. I also cancelled several...

Event : CelebrateTv Anniversary

My sister and I were lucky enough to get an invitation to celebrate CelebrateTV's first anniversary at The Bee, Publika 2 weeks ago. We arrived quite early after finishing so many last-minutes preparation before going to Beijing on the day after. We did not expected to meet and greet so many famous people in one go.

If my boots were spiked, it might help...

Beijing : Modern Architecture

On the fifth day in Beijing, we finally visited their famous modern buildings , the National Stadium & the National Aquatic Center.  It was cold, windy and a bit snowy. We walked for 150 meters from where the bus parked, before stopping to take some photos in front of those buildings.   I asked my brother : What do you think of the designs? Do you like it?  I don't know....

The mosques is really big, it has the capacity of few thousands worshippers.  When I walked through...
