iPad frenzy

ipad

omg.omg. I can’t express how excited I am in knowing that Apple introduced iPad yesterday. Couldn’t wait until it actually goes on sale in just a few months. I’ve been thinking to get myself a Sony eBook reader for quite some time but since there is iPad now, I guess I must say goodbye to Sony eBook reader.

Lots of criticisms out there but I don’t care. I will definitely get one ^^

Torii 鳥居

What is Torii? Well, as you can see here, it’s a Japanese gate that usually serves as an entrance to the sacred place. So you pretty much can find it in a shrine. I remember the trip to Nikko and how I was soo fascinated by this torii, placed just beside the lake.

Lucky I took quite a lot of pictures of the must-visit Nikko so I can use them as future references to make sketches, because you see, it’s already been more than 6 months since the day I began my journey in Singapore. And during those times, no sketches nor paintings of Singapore I made.

I know… I couldn’t believe it myself. The thing is, in here, there’s nothing to keep me inspired. But you know what, I’m gonna stop comparing between here and there, ’now’ and ’back then’. That’s it, I’m joining watercolor course in Singapore on March *woohoo*
