from time to time, i feel talentless and stuck. hmm… i could say that one biggest reason why my creativity doesn’t grow is anything to do with my lazyness. not practicing.

let’s plan that I will draw one page everyday.

life works in various unexpected ways. totally difficult but beautiful. we don’t want to miss a thing that is absolutely beautiful. so, when you see others, forget what you know from the past. face them in genuine and earthy and feel them as they are.

if, by all means, anybody ruins this belief of mine, he/she won’t be beautiful to me any more. tough.

curtis’ q. :

i know i am in love, but can’t shake of the ‘older and wiser’ saying the younger generation does not know what love is. ‘any comments’ can you have true young love?

my a. :

why, curtis?
are you scared of being in ‘not true’ love?
even if so, just do not worry.
you are young and any love will become a priceless experience.

when i talked to her over the phone, she was standing in an aisle of a supermarket and cried for me. when i needed somebody with me, a good company and perfect distraction, she endured the twelve hour flight to be with me. now we are spending time together. she doesn’t hesitate to open her heart to connect with me.

what a bliss. thank you.

<’sail away’, james rizzi>

they were a couple. a husband and a wife.

the wife. a 79 year old lady was one of my wallpaper clients, who had millions of money and passed away about six months ago. she was very well known french art historian/critic.

the husband. a 53 year old gentleman was one of my bookbinding clients, who is a play writer. his works have never been outstanding. now he is inherited all the assets she left.

nobody knows how they met and got married. but in public eyes, they looked a typical example of ‘wealthy woman + toyboy’. but i wanted to see things nicely. the end of the day, they both were good clients of mine.

yesterday, i heard that he got married to a lady in her 30′s a few months ago. it must be a couple of months after his wife’s death. what a textbook!

oh dear god. i was speechless. it’d better be true love.

strange like memories. interpreted and faded by time.

after the rain last night, everything was not only wet also covered in green. on my way to my studio, I was so surprised to witness the artificial paint-like green on all over the common. honestly it was the first time in my life to see such thing. till the day before, everything was frosted. my fairy guess is when frost melted it took the green from leaves, grass and etc and produced the paint. then, the strong rain did the artwork. amazing. it was green everywhere. also, other colours were impressively clean and clear too. to prove that I wasn’t drunken on lacking of sleep, I took some photographs and made a little film. it is shame my imovie app couldn’t keep the colours same like on real pics. nobody was around but me and it was a refreshing joy to be in the scenery.

all of my nerves became sensitive. slight fever tinkles my skin. I can feel chilly draft comes into my room. windy rain makes loud noises on the windows too. I really need to get some sleep. my body seems to have forgotten how to…
