I absolutely adore this artist's works.
Especially her artwork novel series, My Way (我的路), filled with stardust & sorrow.
I can't find her books anywhere in S'pore except in the library & the China publisher doesn't ship to S'pore *heart breaks* - so now I'm contemplating on borrowing the book, never return it, pay the fine & live happily ever after.

*Oh, dear. Lydia resorting to robbing libraries?! Tsk tsk.*

Oh those psychedelic moments when you look through your baby photos & go 'the hell...' at the ridiculousness of the poses snapped. Yes, that's me being used as a human mop.

Mum to Grace, "Look at the camera, act constipated & Smmiiillee!!!"

Why am I looking through baby photos when I'm supposed to be studying for painful exams?? Because the number of days to the exams are inversely proportional to the rate of procastination. That's why.

Time to plug in my wires and oil those brain gears. The ritual cyborgdization every semester will commence!!

Making of the hard cover book:
Hardcover books has always been nerve wrecking affair for me. From the point you smear glue all over your cardboard pieces to the dastardly in-pages *I truly revile in-pages*, the risk of a badly done book casing or the odd air bubble is always imminent.
But, I'm glad this turned out ok!

Above: While I loath gluing in-pages, I'm really please with my water droplets pattern! *blush*

That's the hard cover all done & ready for the book block!

Voila! Muahahaha!!
Couldn't stop touching and admiring my book after it's finished. Stroking its smooth cover and giggling insanely to myself of a job well done. Yes, I'm a book pervert. A mighty proud one.

这几天超级无敌忙!! Pardon me, so here is another ultra lazy post with more of the stuff I'm doing.
Mui fan & Tom Yam soup that looks nothing like it! Whoo hoo~
I realise my scanner saturates the colours of anything I scan, even after correcting the settings. This gives my paintings a more vibrant look & washes out the minor flaws. On the flip side, I notice many of my pastel watercolour details are lost.... Oh bugger!

This is the current project I'm working on, among other things. Will be busy busy busy.

I love siblings. I really do.

Granted they are quite horrible when young. I remember when my big sis loved stabbing me with a mechanical pencil, with the lead out, that little brat. And when my younger brother twisted staple bullets into barb bombs & stuffed them into my pillow, redefining how sadistic stationery is deployed in family warfare.

Now, they are all grown up & smelling of roses.
In fact, my sister bought me a beautiful grand bag the other day. Oh thank you! Hard to imagine her as that fiendish terror she was a decade ago. I cringe to imagine what kind of annoying monster I most definitely took the form too.

Above is a painting I made for her that is now gloriously framed up above her bed post.

Another picture of the week is this.


Boats made out of the aluminium wrapper of a square of chocolate, populated upon by tiny tiny people the size of your thumbnail. Yes, shoo is at it again. Carving out humans from microscopic bits of clay. 'Ware the rise of the tiny people! They'll be up your nostrils in a trice & pulling your brains out through said orifice!

Also, MAAD!!!
Yes! More fabric goodness brought to you by the dexterous duo!

Momshoo & their knitted wonders of yarn.

Ok, I guess I'd better go do homework. Yes, blogging is a delightful way of procastinating work. Oh yes, let me type a bit more.... oooHhhfksafalbf ad fkahsdf fkjshdfa fjahsfhjaj ahahaha..... OK okaaa---aaaaay..... dragging myself to work now......! TO WORK!
