Sunday Dimsum

I'm a sucker for nice dim sum, so when Fred suggested to go to a dim sum restaurant, I immediately said yes. We went to this restaurant once, when we were still dating. The place was old with a dirty red carpet on the stairs but the dim sums were super nice. So we went to Shaw building and the restaurant was no longer there. We thought they closed business or something when we noticed one small announcement pasted in the window. They are moving to Takashimaya!!

A new place is spacious, more grandeur and service is superb. We walked out as two happy customers.

 

 

Color Splash

Was browsing through old files and voila, found a forgotten watercolor sketch. I still remember, after I finished this one, Ellen asked me if I wanted to go groceries shopping at nearby shopping center. Cold day, but we had a bright, clear sky.

 

This one below is what happen when I don't have a clear idea what to draw. But it's fun, just a few drops of watercolor on white paper, blow in every directions… and there you have it.

My New Sketch Blog

エヴァのスケッチブログ

At long last, I have new blog and it will be all about my drawing and nothing else; in pencil, ink, watercolor and oil painting. 

A drawing a day and it will keep you from stress v(^o^)v

Wicked is Wickedly Wicked

Last Saturday we went to see this critically acclaimed Broadway musical, Wicked. I love its theme song, Defying Gravity, since the first time I heard it, made me want to watch the play. Ever since, I was secretly hoping that it would open here in Singapore, and it is! Started from December 2011, the show will open until April 2012 at Grand Theater Marina Bay Sands.

The story tells us about Elphaba and Glinda, how they became known as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good in the Wizard of Oz story. I'm rooting for the misunderstood Elphaba and as for Glinda, hmm that's a tough one. I found myself hating Glinda at first, she's definetely those popular, shallow, mean girls we all met (or became one? lol) at high school. Halfway through the story though, Glinda and Elphaba became really good friends and it was funny seeing Glinda's effort to make Elphaba popular.

Oooh I loved all the actresses, they are good! I don't even mind watching the play again for the second time or the third time, or the fourth time... you got the idea. Not bored at all!! I can clearly see why the Wicked got all the major awards. Five out of five witch hats. 

Quick Sketches

I will be joining a 10-week watercolor workshop started next week *ahh so excited, can't wait*, so I'd better start sketching again. 

Wheeew... been a long time. Feels great to be immersed in a world of lines and shapes.
