Life is beautiful!

There are always beautiful things around us if we border to spend some time looking around. In a fast pace society like Singapore, most of the time we are so busy that we missed all the good things surrounded us. As we are running around, do we stop and appreciate the colours of the falling leaves? As we are rushing with all our deadlines, do we realise the kind gestures extended by those good people standing next to us? So one of these days, please slow down a bit and stand still for a while, you might be surprised that the tiny little things around you are indeed beautiful.

Do I know you?

I was on my way to attend a concert. An ex-student stopped me and asked whether I can remeber her? I paused and replied no. She seem to be disappointed and walked away.

I have been teaching for many years, even for some students who I used to be closed, after some time, I might forget their names. So I felt that she needn't need to feel bad about it. Things around us do change and our lifes changed as days go by. So I asked myself: "shall I feel bad about it?" The answer is definitely NO!

Met an old friend, she said when she saw me for the first time, she already can feel the ART in me! Many of things that I do is always Art! Art! Art! Wow! this is something I didn't realise, at least at that point of time. But loving art is something in me! I draw and paint, and print and sculpt almost everyday and wherever I could. Many times, friends asked why I create so much art pieces? I just not able to answer! For me, art is a hobby! art is my favourite past time! and now I am sure it is in my blood.

Every day I create art pieces hoping that they will add beauty to our world. Every day I pray for extra time, so that I am able to complete more works. A 24 hour day is never enough for me and I am not sure if there are people around can understand me? Luckily, I do have more time nowadays and I manage to fulfil some of my wishes and hopefully I am able to share these joys before I perished from this surface of the earth!

Am I lazy?

I have not been updating my blog lately. This is not because I am lazy! Over the past few weeks, I have been busy with my paintings and have managed to complete several big paintings. There were numerous ideas running through my mind persistently and I couldn't help but express them. Most of these works took me days, and some even took weeks. Nevertheless, there is the same sense of satisfaction after each work is completed. The drive is still there and I feel that there is so much more I can do, and yet I am running out of time. A 24 hour day is not enough for me, and I keep pushing myself to strive for better works. All the while I've thought that when I become a full time artist, I would be able to rest more. However, the truth is that I am as busy now as I used to be. The difference is I am much happier, for I am doing the thing that I like most!
