Starry Night Over the Rhone

Here comes my second piece of Van Gogh's drawing copy.


Starry Night Over the Rhone


The main character of this drawing is actually not the stars, but the reflection of the lights. So I try to make it looks as bright as possible.

Anyone interested to buy this drawing?

Selling self-drawn Starry Night drawing

I'm thinking if I want to sell off my drawing, would someone be interested to buy it? LoL!

Anyway, this picture I proudly duplicated from Van Gogh's Starry Night is sitting pathetically in a corner of my room, rolled nicely. Why would I say proudly? I used 100% Buncho 48 crayons (the red box) to produce this piece when at the beginning I didn't believe I could make it with so limited colour choices! That is why I think this drawing is very precious and special. =)

Just a thought someone might like Starry Night just like I do. =P


Talk about drawing, I feel like continue drawing again. =) Gonna choose another famous drawing from Van Gogh. =) I just love his post impressionist way of drawing! =)

Cool Saturday!

In a free and easy weekend mood now. Haha! Happy happy!

Went driving around Subang area for 2 hours. And then came back had a simple lunch nearby and sent my car for servicing. It's such a nice day with sun rays and all. =) Had some small walk around 5 mins near my house, and then finally basked in a serene air conditioned room. hehehe. I know my carbon footprint is bad today. But I love my day!

I like One Republic songs. Suits my taste. =)

2011 new year resolution

As for the new year resolution for this year (2011), because of the un-achieved 2010 new year resolution, the resolution for this year will be the same except an addition of sense of urgency and determination into the list.

1. Save money
2. Exercise
3. More sense of urgency and determination in anything I do

2010 wrap up

2010 hasn't been a smooth year. Too many changes, too many things to adapt to. I shall roughly summarize big events to wrap up this year.

1. Grandma passed away. Even until half a year later I still cried so much every time I think of her. Now when I think of her my eyes will still get wet. And whenever I go back to KT I feel a strong emptiness because whenever I go back I would visit her almost everyday, but now, she's not here anymore....

2. Suffer from esophagitis due to gastric influx from having late and heavy dinner (like about 9 something pm) and no food (or even milo) between lunch time and dinner even though I felt painful from being too hungry.

3. Join a few runs: Putrajaya Night Marathon, Terry Fox Run, Oral Cancer Awareness walkathon, Penang Bridge Marathon

4. Graduated from my last Korean language course (elementary level) and stopped the classes

5. Joined and left yoga class (the time slots don't fit my schedule).

6. Successfully fundraised RM500 through Standard Chartered Marathon to National Cancer Society (but was admitted to hospital due to a weird dengue-like virus fever for a week and missed the run)

7. Left Vivantis and joined Carif

8. Admitted to hospital due to a weird dengue-like virus fever for a week and then had hemorrhage in my eyeballs which leads to floater-like structures, went to see eye specialist but caused me more serious hemorrhage. Luckily after a week half of the floaters were gone, left with some floaters for me to deal with everyday now.


I just realized this year I took too many new things and dropped to many that I find it hard to adapt to my new life. In the end I gave up a lot of things to let the pace of my life slow down. This year is a not satisfying year for me. No apparent achievement at work and outside work.


If I am to summarize the 2010 resolutions (copy out from previous blog post and revising them carefully now)

1. To save more money so that I can go travel overseas
-not achieved
2. To go back hometown more often. I think my parents miss me lotz and I definitely need to spare more time for my family as my 2009 didn't really had time for them.
-partly achieved (went back hometown in Jan, Feb, June, Aug, Dec), don't have the record from 2009, so I dunno whether I go back more often or not.
3. A continuation from last year resolution - to do aerobic exercises e.g swimming, trekking or jogging, once every week
-Not achieved. I think average of once every month got la.. lol
4. Learn something new (like rock climbing, first aid, more Korean class?)
-Learned yoga but gave up because no suitable time.
