Week Thirteen: Framed

Did not know what to frame, and I could not draw a nice frame to save my life. So after finding this cute quote by my favourite blue puppet, Cookie Monster, an idea finally popped up in mind. Got to work on the lettering for sure. 

R.I.P. Mr Lee

He created a modern city from a filthy island and that is what I appreciate most about what he has done in his lifetime. No matter what people might say about his tactics about getting things done, it has been done. 

“I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn’t be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse, that we wouldn’t be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters – who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think.”

Appreciate the fact that we can travel far and wide, have drinkable water on tap no matter how high we live, no chewing gum stuck to out behinds, have cool public restrooms, yet still have our flora and fauna to enjoy. 

“Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up.”

May he rest in peace. 

Week Twelve: Wings

"Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly...."

Week Eleven: Favourite Place

Mom said I should just draw a building with glass doors and the word "supermarket" on it. I thought about it and I felt I preferred a farmers' market and decided to try and draw one. My market is rather empty though, the stall holders are still setting up. 

Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

"Everyone will go through some hard times at some point. Life isn't easy. Just something to think about. Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? Did you know the three hardest things to say are "I love you", "I'm sorry", and "Please help me"? Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile to see how much pain they may be in."

If only people know better....

Week Ten: Inspire

One word to describe the inspiration that covers my thirst for knowledge, passion for travel, love for food and the joy of discovery.
