My dad and mum:)My dad and my mum are drawn from different photos. This is why you will see a constrast in their skin colour where my mum is darker and my dad's lighter. I realise here that constrast is the key. The more the contrast, the easier to potray the 3-D effect.
Anyway, my dad is balding and he's winking..haha...

My first drawing..okay..one of my first which i want to post online. I think I did this last November nearing my ORD day. I started with my grandfather first. A rough sketch of his face first if i remembered correctly. I only added in my face after his. It was fun drawing his face with wrinkles. My own drawing however did not really resemble me. Its kind of skewed but I'm too lazy to change it. Remember this is one of my first drawing and there's alot of amatuer mistake.
1. I only realised this like months later. I should not smudge my lines! By doing so, I am trying to make it look like a photo which it can never be! I should hust keep the pencil lines clear so that it will be clear that it is a drawing of a photo.
2. I did not correct my drawing while I drew. I just keep drawing. And by the time i realised it, it was too late. Next time, I should check back every 2 minutes or so and make any changes there and then. Remember, everyone makes mistakes!!
The reason i drew this photo was because I missed him.I know it sounds corny. This is the last photo of he and me together. He died while I was in OCS, and I can only attend his last day of funeral because there is a stupid rule in OCS that we can only attend funerals of immediate family.
A short story about my grandfather before i forget.(I have poor memory.soon i will forget everything) I already forgotten when he was borned and at what age he died..I think around 70plus?
He used to own a sugarcane plantation when my mum was little. Then, he got rheumatism or some kind of sickness on his leg, my mum says his legs become weak. The plantation was not tended to and it died slowly. My mum said it was then that my grandparents started quarreling=( My mum says could be that my grandmother lloks down on my grandfather for not able to earn a keep for the family. Then they opened a grocery shop.
Their quarrelings got worse. I only remembered that my grandparents did not live together when I was 4. My grandmother stayed with my second uncle while my grandfather stayed with us. He have difficulty moving around the house and always use a walking apparatus.(Big 4 legged walking stick) I was very little then, primary school, but I must have made hell for him.I do not know why but I do not really like him in the past. =(
1. Sometimes I will hide his walking stick while he is sleeping so that he can't move around.
2. He loves to watch WWE and Days of Our Lives. But I always thought he likes to watch them because of the girls. I liked cartoons. I always always steal and hide the remote control from him so that I can watch my cartoons. Even if i am not watching, I did not let him watch too. I think I'm very evil.
3. I always hit him. sorry ah gong..
4. Lots more evil stuff which i forgotten
I only realised that I was an idiot when I was in primary 6. However, my grandfather has already moved away to stay with my other relatives. Too late to do much. He got a stroke and then he was wheel-chair bound. well, everytime i visit him, i become very nice though. Cuz I feel that he is really impt to me and i really owe him alot.
Then my grandmother passed away when I was in secondary school. At first, my uncles and aunties did not tell him. However, I think he sensed something wrong and asked my uncle about it. He came on the 3rd day of the funeral in his wheelchair. He was already very thin and frail-looking. He just sat there and cried and it really broke my heart. He had not talked nor talked to my grandmother for almost 10 years. I always thought that they do not have any love left between them and they did not divorce because its not their tradition to do so and they already got so many kids together. I guessed they quarreled because they still love each other. After all those years and its when my granfmother died before realisation hit my grandfather that he still loves her alot. He just sat there crying for about an hour before we pushed him back...After that, he hardly spoke and he just became weaker..and he passed away like 3 years later..my last grandparent then..

Once, there were an old monk and a young monk walking miles to another temple. They passed by a river and there was a maiden there. She asked the monks whether they can carry her across the river. The old monk agrees straightaway and carried the maiden across.
The young monk was very bothered by the actions of the old monk. He feels that 'nan nui shou shou bu qing'(my han yu ping ying correct?). Men should keep a distance from women. And he kept this in his heart for the next 5 hours till he could not hold it anymore.He asked the old monk:"I always thought that nan nui shou shou bu qing. Why did you carry the maiden across the river just now."
The old monk replied: " I only carried the maiden for 2 minutes, why are you carrying the maiden on your shoulders for 5 hours?"
The question is: Are you the young monk?

Hey ya!Haha..here i am writing my first post makes me feel kinda retarded. There's a number of factors which results me to creating a blog of my own:
1. The great Cheraik who recently created a blog too. Haha..i can never fanthom Cheraik reading blogs. Now, he have a blog of his own. (Very deep stuff indeed, and a tad too serious..haha..I'm kidding cheraik) People really do change. I'm afraid that if I dont blog about my life now. There won't be anything for me to look back to. (Or for the historian to write about me=P)
2. I've been through this ...training about what you think can lead to what you feel which will lead to what you do and then lead to what you get. I know this is kind of simple yet complicated. The trainer mentioned that if you write down what are your passions/goals and commit yourself to it. You will succeed. I really do have my doubts there, but what the heck..trying won't kill.
My 5 goals:
1. To be loved by everyone I loved (I know it sounds really gay. So please don't comment about it.)
2.To be a millionaire by the time when I'm 27. ( Assets-wise.Its possible...lets see now..I will be FC for the next 3 years, then be promoted to associate manager by 24. When i graduate, I will have half a million. By 26, open my own agency. Plus stocks....)
3.To be a world renowned artist? ( Haha..oh well..trying doesn't kills. I defined world-renowned when this blog have reached 5 millions views. I've just decided when i'm writing this point to make it into a sketching blog! And hence goes the name too)
4.Have my first kid at at 28!( 3 in total)
Well, my ultimate aim is to retire when I am 50 into a life of peace at a summer house in Australia.=P
Haha...anyway, the course consists quite a bit of swearing. About letting all that is bothering you all out so that it will not affect what you do in the future. For example, Mr A has been bullied by Mr B when he was primary 5. However, Mr A doesn't retaliate and keep it all inside. Since then, subconciously, he have this baggage with him, like a metal ball chain to his feet.Whatever Mr A does, he will not feel happy as he always have to prove to Mr B that he is not weak.( Refering to subconciously here) You get what i mean here?
Haha..anyway, the trainer got some of us up the stage to tell the rest of us about their baggage(someone who did them wrong) , if they have any. Well, a few of us went up the stage. And some stories were quite sad. Now this is the funny part, at the end of each story, the trainer wants us to help that person to 'take away' their baggage. So, the trainer got everyone of us to shout this "Name of baggage, we have a message to send you...F*** Y**!!!" It was seiously hilarious at that time. I don't know whether this method works but i hope it does for those who went onstage...
