That's me.
Allow me to illustrate the kind of wonders i have performed lately...
I worked part time in a restaurant
Teach 2 kids drawing and making craft 2 to 3 times a week
Had 2 exhibitions in 2 weeks...
Spend 3 days in a woodcarving symposium and artist talk...made a wood sculpture...
HAd to churn out competition pieces for 2 competitions...3 paintings and 2 sculptures...
A typical day...
Wake up at 8.30am...teach art,
go work in restaurant at 11.30am till 2.30pm,
go teach art at 3pm,
come back to work at restaurant at 5.30pm..
.and end a day at 10.30pm...
reach home at 11.30pm,
do my art work till 2am...
OR...wake up at 8.30am for the wood carving symposium,
ends at 5.30pm, go to work at restaurant at 6pm,
end at 10.30pm...
reach home at 11.30pm,
fall asleep in front of the TV at 2pm.
Tired...
I enjoy the art making part...
and art teaching...
But hate the restaurant work lately...

Few things I learn this week...
1. It is against the law to climb trees in HDB area....KY told me.
Until now...I still wonder if this is true...and thought it is ridiculous...
2. No matter how hard you try to avoid work politics...it will still be there. The only difference is if you are lucky, you may choose to sit on the fence, but most of the time when u are not careful enough, you will fall on either side.
3. Wood carving is not as hard as I think but need quite a bit of physical strength on certain level... yet it is a matter of confidences...and the fear of making mistake that deter me from being involve...something I want to overcome.
4. When you do something that meant well, people might not think the same when they already think you are WRONG before you do it.
5. Teaching children art is NOT easy.

To cut or not to cut...
I have a dream a few weeks ago...
I dreamt that I have finally decided to cut my hair...
And ask my father to cut it for me...
He did it...and snipped off a big chunck with a pair of big scissors...and i freak out...
and started to cry and regret when i see my hair being cut off...
I was really sad...
And so...
Even if I have been telling people i want to cut my hair...
and i am genuinely intending to do so...
And is really frustrated to detangle my hair all the time....
I still cannot bring myself to do it...
Because I will regret...and i will be sad.
Yet, I want to cut becos...
1. My hair is thinning...and ends splitting...and unmanageable...
2. I want to change my hair style...
3. I promise too many people I want to cut...including myself.
4. It's time.
Yah...only a matter of time...
I did remember there was once I dreamt of my new short hair look and I was happy...
Sigh...
So hard...
Did I mention that the indian uncle at bashaar bookshop and the china auntie at the fish noodle store praise my long hair...
But...most of my local chinese friends will say "CUt it off lah..."in a rather unaprreciative tone...
I just want to say...if i ever cut my hair off...it is not becos it is not nice...

HAve you Floss Yet??
Yes...boys and girls...
Have you floss yet?
Floss YOUR teeth....I mean.
*****
Recently, I have been flossing diligently like NEVER before...
In fact, the number of times I flossed my teeth this year...is more than I have ever floss my teeth in the past 26 years...
And why?
It all started since I realise the important of dental health...
my poor tooth requires a root canal last year...
And the friendly dentist remind me to floss my teeth...
Since then...whenever I floss...i realise...there are actually a lot of "foreign particler stuck between my teeth....but I was not consistant....becos my gum bleeds...
After a few while...it becomes addictive....and my gum no longer bleeds...
SInce then, I floss almost every day...
And it feels good to feel clean...when u lick the walls of your teeth with your tongue...
Mmmmmhh ;p
******
And so...have you floss your teeth yet?
If not, please do soon as soon as possible...becos your teeth is so precious.
May tooth fairy bless you.
