Every morning...

"Art  has no limit or boundary when you are given a blank piece of paper or a canvas just finished with a wash of gesso. Your passion for art should start to flow through every blood vessel and when it comes to what to draw, it should be your true feelings at that very moment; the sky is the limit." I learned this from my late mother when she taught me how to draw my first picture of Cinderella in her blue dress. Back then, my three favourite things, among others, were princesses, pencil crayons and eggs(over easy), lots of them.

Now, ten days to 2015, at the age of fifty - five, they are still my favourites. Today, I can say 

I am very blessed because I can still create art with my pencil crayons and enjoy the egg on toast prepared by my husband, Kinny, everyday. By the same token I know I have always been my mom's princess, and I keep her's and my father's blessing with me everyday.  

I treasure everything that they have taught me.

I will never stop my passion for putting simple and beautiful things around me on paper. 

As long as I can start my day with a smile to Kinny, my daily prayers and reading of the Bible, and carry on my day with tea and pencil crayons, I am happy. This is more than enough in life. This is what I live for.

Colourful pencil crayons allow me to be on the bright side.

Pin cushion, memories of my mother sewing 

Instant noodle, perfect snack for watching TV or on a cool rainy afternoon.

White Rabbit Milk Candy, a treat from my dad 

In my early childhood, I loved going to the market with my nanny everyday, despite the unique smell. There was so much to see from vendor to vendor. The groceries were wrapped in newspaper to take home. This is in memory of my late nanny Ms Lau King. She was as close as a mother to me. 

Pork Belly, perfect for Red-cooked Pork. All the girls in our family know how to prepare it.
