happy halloween! :D

kitty lantern~ 

and from last year :)

it's been a while...

since my last post, n since the last time i drew something! a frd has started a new initiative n requires me to draw, which is a perfect reason to resume blogging n drawing, do in fact need to warm myself up again :))

So here are the extractions of the more recent work i've done for a Thai travel book (which got modified later on with the head drawn by some other artists)

my original works...

and their modifications....

and this is the actual book...

need a new bag!

not really in the mood to post anything these few weeks, work has buried me most of the time, and at other times there were those depressing news... n the most horrible thing, is the 2 day numbness on my right palm!! it's all gone now, probably just bad sitting postures or chair position that caused it (which reminds me to readjust my chair too as i type!)...overall, i guess it's a summation of too much of a stretch....

n due to my clumsiness in using almost anything, i've broken a grand total of 3 bags' zippers.... n now need to look for a new one! good excuse to go shopping but not exactly with a big budget : P

here's my user requirement:

oh and, i m not a big fan of any type of monograms.... @_@ mmm....

any recommendations??

5th

workaversary....! (of putting myself in the full time work force that is..)

not always great, but not too bad overall!

why

why!!!!! why is it just wednesday tomorrow????

why is there another 3 days before weekend????

why do we work 5 days and get 2 days off, and not the other way round????

why m i so inclined to do nothing????

(ok edit, i don't want to do nothing, i just want to do things i like doing, such as...those things that u don't get paid, such as non-work-related hobbies!)

workplace exercise

stretchhhhhhhhh....

hot bath

suddenly in the mood for a hot bath...especially after being in air-conditioned places for too long...

owl

it is in the chinese saying that people who don't sleep at nite or tend to stay up late but sleep in the day are "owls"...

but what if i need to sleep at nite and in the day?

後知後覺

我想我應該是後知後覺界的表表者。

其實好像早在一年前Mr和RubberBand已經冒起了還橫掃了各個頒獎禮，不過我只懂得欣賞舊人，而且近年連新歌也提不起勁聽，徨論新人啦。前兩晚在youtube看這看那，就randomly按上RB已經成年前的的"小涼拌"。點知，又幾好聽&幾summer bor! i like!

emotional

the weather in hong kong has been quite "emotional" these days...i rmb seeing in the weather forecast that it'd be sunny and hot at 30 degrees celcius ever since last Thurs and Fri, but turned out to be rainy n stormy n low at 23 for almost the entire week...n today finally, a peek of sunshine!!

from iphone in normal mode...

then in "lomo" mode... hehe

beautiful bag from scandinavia!

love her design! simple & clean is just fine, her tag line says, which i totally agree!

in luv with

tea related things! had always luved drinking tea - chinese tea, japanese tea, english tea, you name it. perhaps it's a family thing i got from my mom, n now i start getting obsessed with cups too!

cups from whittard (my new favourite store!)

all of them too cute, too heavy, couldn't carry them home...so i just bought this instead:

and then my other favorite cup that i brought home:

n tea leaves that goes with everything:

separate from all these, this is a tea house i bought way back from japan, at some random store for 100yen, which about 3 blocks from that shop i saw it's selling at 700yen :O and finally in london last week, they're selling it at 5pounds :O

and this is not entirely tea-related, but want to share this extremely cute pot that i bought from hungary years ago...it has 6 matching cups too! tooo cute!
