Time Keeper

To many, a watch is a time keeper. Traditionally, a moon and sun were one.

Today, watch is incorporated into a cell phone, calculator and etc. It’s so easy to use and it serve its function as an alarm clock and etc.

Other than a watch, what could it be?
The challenge is to explore the possibilities and beyond!

To me, a time keeper is a careful & mindful person. He or she has his or her unique ways of keeping time! As they know the value of time and the importance of keeping it. They take pride to manage time. They plan and record their “To do” list, to re-evaluate on how much time that one can save, spend and keep for the current and future tasks.

This is what I am working on. I am practicing to be a good time keeper and still learning. So far, I have successfully recorded time spent for my daily activities and try to work on the urgent tasks first.

So, naturally, I wake up and to be with God first and rehearsing the motivation and wisdom cards. Follow by taking bath, applying oilmen to my affected skin. Taking breakfast and then exercise. Next, practice on the piano and etc. I also realize my long term goals to serve you in your kingdom through the sharing of my illustrations and blogging. By doing so, I am living a healthy lifestyle and also a healthy time keeper too. I will write more personal testimony and sharing in the future to encourage my friends here. I am so glad that my semi temporary stop blogging time have been used so effectively to read your words. Thank you Lord for giving me wisdom to do so.

You too can be a healthy good time keeper. Let’s us review and pray on this daily matter and see the harvest you will reap with joy and gratefulness.

Dear heavenly Father,
Thank you God, with your marvelous plan, you have created day and night for us, 24 hours a day, nothing more and nothing less.

Traditionally by day, time spend for working. Evening spend for playing. Night spend for sleeping and resting. Today in midst of business, we pray that we can be closer to you and meeting your will by observing and learning to an effective time keeper. When it’s time to work, we work. Time for play we play and time to rest, we rest.

So help us Lord in your most magnificent ways to see, feel and enjoy the beauty of your work- the day and night, especially treasuring the present, learning from the past and embracing the future. In Jesus precious name we pray.
Amen.

Be Happy!

I am back with happy mood for sure!

Doodling provides an outlet for me to escape from boredom.....

I did this when I was really bored but I was so happy during the process.

Happiness will not find you, you must find your own happiness.

Make a wish and stick to it. Enjoy the process and end result.

I am so glad that I am doing it everyday!

The mandarin quote here states "The happiness in fairyland"

IF-Equipment

Who said that a bag can't be a hat! It's not just merely a bag or an equipment but an accessory add colours to the shot. What a breakthrough from the the tradition! It's a fabulous fashion statement at that time. It had stolen many girls' heart which including me...

On the other hand,  I super love drawing and painting portriat but now I rather shift my focus to other areas. Or else you see me happily painting just all portraits........no other works will be shown here. That's will be quite boring! However, I would love to pick up this long lost love when I finish my other projects.

This is a watercolour painting I painted when I was in college. It's self taught since I was not studying graphic design. I found this interesting close up of a young model from a fashion column on the newspaper. So, I did a newspaper cutout and sticked it to my room. I liked her so much and decide to paint her.

I chose another painting direction that I had during that very moment. I trusted my instinct...
I introuded the colours that I think were suitable and appealing in this composition. As you now I like green. The green here is such a compliment to the red and light grey.....

I love the final soft effect I got here except the hidden left eye part should be free from that undecided accident stroke....

Talking about newspaper cut out. My friend introuduced me a to this super talented lady Vivian Toh that manage art bazaar. She also is a very young talented editor for a new local design magazine called CUT OUT. It's RM15 per copy and it's published quarterly.
 I have spoken to her on the phone and she's a very pleasant lady. Together she and her partner Jay Lim manage a new media company called tsubaki studio.
I would love to meet up with her to exchange art ideas in the near future. All the best to her current and future undertaking!

Orange Cherry Blossom

Today I found this art demo from my archive

while sorting my old drawings!

So naturally I come to think of how fast the time flies and

we are moving to the second half of the year soon!

P/S: I just came back from an art exhibition.

Too bad, no photos were allowed in the art gallery so all I can do now

is to connect you through the official website for

some interesting info. Please click here!

I especially enjoyed the Devil Robots and Haroshi's exhibitions.

They are so inspiring. I also feel proud of our new emerging artists

and I want to be part of them by two years times.

Thus, I pray that God grant me the right timing to open my shop,

hopefully by end of this year.

Yes, I am willing to venture into the art business.

Actually I had sent in my application together with my survey during weekends

to the local authority many years back.

I wanted to sell balloons and ice cream at Tasik Shah Alam .

Even they rejected my submission, I always at the lookout for other opportunity.

According to them, no mobile hawkers were allowed to do business over there except for permanent store owner.

Then, I helped my lecturer to sell her children books to most of my young students.

I am still doing the direct sales part time now. Most of my customers are my students' parent and my late mother's friends.

Right now, the pom pom crafts are created for the teen and younger age niche groups.

Partly doing a marketing survey, I asked my students and friends for a list of products that they like to own. The price that they can afford. If it's a unique collection, can their parents give some allowances to make up for a close. Some other questions have been asked too.

Besides, I am developing another line for adult buyer after pom pom crafts.

Thus, I only update my blog when I am free.

Hope you understand!

Good night all!

Good day and lazy day!

Lazy day!

Sit back and enjoy the day watching Iron Man.

I watched Iron Man 2 and have missed Iron Man.....

Luckily the Iron Man' disc is still around!

Let me enjoy the movie!!!!!

Double Rainbow-Promises of GOD

When I saw these unique double rainbow last Thursday while jogging around my neighbourhood, I quickly went back to get my camera to record this miracle sign. I also called my neighbour to witness the joy of such moment.

There two rainbows here and the smaller one was the reflection of the first rainbow. It was unusual long and radiant in colour.

Never before I see so beautiful rainbows.

There were many times I saw beautiful rainbows but this is the best that I see so far!

I know God will not fails us, HE is always there for me.

Thank you God for your greatest comfort for me.

You know that how much I need YOU.
You have instantly lifted my burden.........
It was such a touching moment and I cried...tears of happiness...
tears of double happiness, I know you never forsake me....
Thank you GOD.
Amen

See carefully here, double rainbow

resembles PROMISES of God!
