Inspiration

These are the two motivational books

that I read in the previous month.

Both are sharing the secret of life.

I have just finished reading them

and find them very useful and beginning

to put it in good use.

I have so many great testimonies to share.

Please stay with me.

P/s: You can get the first book from Popular Bookshop.

The second book is a book of my late-mum.

I feel so fortunate to rediscover it again at the time I most need it!

Happy New Year dear readers!

To start my very first post of 2012,

I would to thank you for all your unfailing support to my blog.

I am in easy mood now and I love to

share about the paper faces that I made back in 2010.

Introducing "The Black Pearl"

Cut out the curvy parts.

Here, I get a darling feature!

Turn it up side down, I got a a rather weird & serious

animal face with its nose pointing down!

Sunshine boy

Have fun with its ethnic owl effect!

Look like a fish from its side way.

I hope to create a bird or humpty dumpty here!

A magical hat!

A rabbit or a flying pilot...

Red Indian....

OK, what do I look like this time?

If you care, please tell me what do all these faces mean to you.

The count up session

2011-12-15T11:10:00.003+08:00

2012 is coming soon! Are you all ready?

As for me, I am so glad to announce that my health is getting so much better. Though, I need to visit to the hospital tomorrow. I stay away from blogging and do exercise daily. My commitment and dedication let me recover faster. I am continuing my daily routine with exercise, meditation and reading & observing God's words.

Yellow bloom rattan basket

Swan sanctuary rattan basket

Orange rattan basket

Sleepy snake rattan basket

Multiple blossoms rattan basket

Blue whale rattan basket

Last May, I visited Institut Kraf Negara that situated at Rawang

I was so lucky to have my talented blogger friend Rizal with me the whole session, he is the senior lecturer in IKN. It's a guided tour together with him and he introduced all the art departments here in details. Among there are art departments for batik, wood craft, rattan and ceramic. But I have a particular interest in rattan art as I have never witness such innovative creations by our local craft students before. Each piece is excellently designed & executed. I especially have an eye for the yellow bloom rattan basket. shown above.

My whole journey was throned with lots of excitement & surprises, I was given some beautiful souvenirs to bring home. Indeed, it's a satisfying visit and I am hoping to make another visit again!

Happy Blooming Tuesday!

my blog just turned 3 last month.

That is only with full contentment and true satisfaction in blogging

Looking back, my blog posts of this year mainly consist of

I am grateful at least I have tried to maintain

the blog in midst of business.

Yes, I'm still working on my personal project and

it's still not the time to share yet

as I'm also busy with my study.

To date, there are more than 900 posts store in this blog.

Feel free to check back my previous posts,

there are a number of posts that worth reading.

Here is a post of my blog turning 1 to start with:)

Sticker from aunty

2011-09-12T18:30:00.004+08:00

My aunt is a fun person that keeps in touch with me always the fun way. I normally receive her mails about 6 times a year. Every time with different stickers and stamps on the cover and back of the envelope. It's so excited to open and read her news. Her sharings are too beautiful!

She is also my first pen pal. Despite the existence of email and etc but she still chooses to send her love messages to me and my family through snail mail. Today, my dedications and gifts to friends are mostly influenced and inspired by her.

Thank you aunty to mould me to be a person to care of my friends in a special way.

The Malaysian Rice-Plates Project

2011-09-08T05:30:00.001+08:00

The Malaysian Rice-Plates aims to celebrate the melting-pot in Malaysia by selected Malaysian artists.

With rice being the stable food in Asia, the rice-plate is an important symbol of unity as all Malaysian eat their rice mostly from plates.

It's also a sign of survival as the rice plate symbolizes the way one makes a living.
It also acts as an introduction for foreign visitors to the rich world of art in Malaysia and will be an unique experience for people to view this project as a whole or individual piece reflects the artists' distinct individual approach to the theme

It has been put together by Wei-Ling Gallery and is presented by the Ministry of Tourism in conjunction with the 1st Malaysian Contemporary Art Tourism 2011.

Here is the glimpse of it captured on video and shots. Hope you enjoy them one by one.
My favourites are 9, 27, 29 and 33.

The end

This is a children picture book I did a year ago for my talented artist blogger friend Josh Billings to help and cheer his son Griffin Billings on fighting Leukemia.

Being an active, cheerful and creative little boy; he plays the drum very well, have faith despite of his situation and love to tell story during his free time. I am so encourage by him. I know that besides remembering him in prayers, there are so much I can do to show my support to him. And that’s how this book “The Fire Breathing Dragon” came to birth!

Griffin most recent news update is so encouraging, he was granted a wish from the Children's Wish Network to visit Sea World, Disney World and Discovery Cove. I am so glad to learn that he is doing well and with steady recovery.

For you all that are concern to help Griffin, you can visit here for more details and also here to read of his amazing recovery.

Just in case, these pages above seem familiar to you. Here was the project when all it got started last year.

Distinctively fun washroom design at Mapkl

2011-08-31T09:35:00.079+08:00

Perspective view of a row of

washroom cubicle doors,

where it also serves as an

exhibit featured wall when they are all closed!

Come, getting ready for a chic photo shot!

One more, this time I flashed out my "MMM"

beaming smile to improvise!

Now, as you see the whole of it and blended in

so well with the wall hung mirror,

you will agree with me,

a washroom is also a creative space

for making & inventing art!

Ha..Ha..what a desirable one....

Well, even toilet poster is

creatively designed.

Love its simple geometry effect!

I went to an art event at mapkl a few weeks back. Haven't got the time explore its gallery yet but I am so impressed with its washroom design. Its cubicle doors as a doodle featured wall that makes it outstands other washroom design!

Next up, I'm looking forward to explore its gallery space........:)

but we are not far away in relationship.

it's good to receive motivational love notes to get her going!

The gorgeous spread!

I am an "Aloe Vera" fan!

I have been using Forever Living products since 2004 until present!
I especially love these star products: Aloe Vera Gel, Omega Fish Oil, Pomesteen and Vitamin C. They have helped me to regain my health. I feel more energetic and lively after consuming these products.

These notebooks above were given to their members as free gift and organiser.
The unique bright yellow Aloe Vera notebook is irresistible! I haven't use them yet since I have too many notebooks in my collection. I will show you my other notebooks in my future posts.

I won this cute little green ridinghood doll from a giveaway organised

by talented illustrator Emila Yusof in 2009. I only got time to collect it from her last two months.

Besides, she also gave me other gifts that she handmade for her online shop.

Thanks again Kak Emila, how lucky am I that you always remember me.

Of course, I also made some handmade gifts for her. I believe that a friendship works when both cherish, love and support each other.

Sweet harvest again!

2011-04-22T00:45:00.000+08:00

It's harvest time. My brother and I worked really hard together getting all these coconuts down from our coconut trees. We have very fresh coconut drink started on Monday and will last at least for another two consecutive weeks. I am giving away some to my students too...

I find opening a coconut to be much easier now. We all know by now that we must bring down the coconuts on time and only when they are still young. It took me about 2 to 3 minutes to do so....

I find inspiration to do so from my students' maid....but still haven't acquire the full skill yet!
Yes, I am still trying.....I bet you would be amazed after watching this video!

OK, I got to sleep now. Let me visit some of you later in a few days. Take care and have a pleasant weekends friends and readers!

This is a 10 minutes colourful fun doodle I created during my two days stay in the hospital last month.

Feeling free and easy as the doctors and nurses were all so kind to me. They talked to me, served me, giving me the right knowledge and support.......

In fact, I was treated like a guest....can you imagine....there were 4 delicious meals a day, I thought I were staying in a hotel. Then my mind drifted away,

Adding some fun splashes and cute animals......

Indeed, it's fun in the sun....a rainbow journey that I long to have.......

Cool cool....lucky lucky me with my magical pens! It all followed my heart, not too much and not too little....I was truly well rested and have ample of time doing lots of doodles and reading the books that I bought months ago.

Dear friends,

Look at the theme above, all about music. As a piano teacher, I really enjoy teaching music to my students. The traveller card that I made for talented Children book writer Stella is also suitable for this week IF-Cultivate.

My art journey progress really go well. I have created so many lovely art in midst of my busy schedule. I do lots of doodling and sketching lately. My dream is to live as an artist. I am cultivating myself to do either art or craft everyday. I hope I have the time to show all of them to you in the near future.

Thank you.

My trip to China was a pleasant one. Read my previous posts here and here.

Simple and down to earth advertisement board

is the prominent attraction for this China Cafe..

It says" Unlimited fun time..."

Casual dining chic..

Side wall with some intereting artifacts.

The fish bowl & red lantern also

make effective attractive here!

Creative use of side doorway.

The green plants in the planter box

and pots look good and pleasing to eyes..

Snoopy in love!

Another creative way

to lure in more visitors.

Have you seen a wooden mail box

interwoven with creeping plant before?

I just love its duo-tones matt floor tiles

and the black batches on the bottom left wall...

To me, it's simply lovely and perfect!

How I wish I could revisit this place

to enjoy the lento moment of life

in fine nature like this!

I thought I could share more with you since I have edited most of them now:)

Bass Clef

Talking about music, naturally we all stumble on some fun musical signs. Treble and bass clef are part of the signs that I have been familiar with and dreaming to associate with always...

Ammm, for the time being, only the end result for bass clef is acceptable to my standard.

I enjoyed every bits of it from peeling the apple skin with full attention to taking a number of shots from all angles possible! As for treble clef, I am still trying on to craft a better one...

Wait and see.....
