Craziness...

My obsession with pink color on my lips...

Asian guys like to see girls pouting and being stupid. How about this?

And this.

I accidently removed this picture...ugh. My Dior Addict Extreme No. 486 worked with Viva Glam Nicki, purpleish pink and yellowish pink.

Finally found a nail saloon sold Deborah Lippmann nail lacquer. I wanted "Glitter in the Air" soooo bad!

It works with USLU Airline ZRH. I should have applied two coats of ZRH...

David sent me a picture of Angry Bird fruity gummies he took at Walmart(I think). I think they taste nothing different from bear gummies, but those angry little birds always amused people. I wanna eat up the pigs! Can't beat them? Eat 'em!

Teaching material for Chinese language

Recently I've been browsing some illustrators' blogs, it seems like they were either given professional training or went to art schools. Well maybe not all of them, but that made me think what I could do with my limited skills.

Early this week a brilliant idea popped up in my head! Maybe I could make drawings for teaching material.

OK, I know this is not Chinese, but I just came up with an idea of drawing sushi at work.

This character means "sushi" and read as "sushi" as well. Guess what they are? :)

It was always exciting to learn words of food, so I think it should be a lot easier for beginners to pick up those words.

I was going to draw more baskets of dim sum but I was quite sleep while making this drawing. Everybody knows what dim sum is, so I am not going to explaining here.

Except teaching Chinese with pictures, I'd like to introduce some street food we had from where I live.

In western countries, they call it "bubble tea" or "boba tea". Why it is called bubble tea is because we shake the shaker to mix the tea and ingredients such as tapioca pearls well, and this action will make bubble on the top. "Boba tea" comes from "boba milk tea", milk tea with big tapioca pearls. "Boba" means "woman with big boobs" in Chinese, it's kinda disrespectful to be honest, but I still have no idea how big tapioca pearls related to woman with big boobs...

  

I planned to make a drawing of a bowl of steamed rice, but I failed on the shadow of rice grains, so I decided to make a drawing of a bowl of noodles instead. As you can see this is Japanese ramen, miso based soup of course, with roasted pork slice, boiled egg, chopped scallion, tree fungus and kamaboko. 



Little surprise in a rainy afternoon

It has been raining like crazy all this weeked! All I wanted to do was staying home doing house work and blogging. But this morning, I made myself going out for lunch at a vegetarian restaurant with mom and sister. After lunch, we went to DAISO and I found this cool little stuff over there.

My little robot arm! Not sure what I am gonna do with it, but I will figure out.

  

And I found this cute little umbrella. The yellow and orange spots reminds me of orange fruit jelly.

We watched Mr. Bean after we were back from DAISO this afternoon, and there was a scene that Bean and David were at an amusement park. That made me think what kind of sweet could represent the United State of America, so I drew this.    

Making fun of the aliens...

Random things that make me happy

So far I don't have many audiences viewing this blog, which it's alright because I still have my boyfriend and some friends/colleagues supporting me. I love you guys! One of the reasons I really like about Blogger is it is not so commerical like the writers are paid to write good things about the products.

My colleague Cosiya is on vacation in Bangkok and will resume to work on Wednesday. I kinda miss her but I am excited too, 'cos she's going to bring back a lot of snacks! So last night I drew something for her.

She told me Swesens in Bangkok was pretty cheap, I hope she can have much ice cream 'cos she has a sweet tooth, and she can always have dessert after lunch/dinner like she has another stomach.

I did not do a good job on the cream part, it looks pretty "soft". If you have an idea how to make liquid cream soild, you must know what I am talking about.

Thursday night I made this drawing while watching the movie "Orphan". Nothing related, I was just obsessed with the color "Tiffany Blue", which was pretty much like a lighter tone of robin-egg blue. Actually I kinda failed drawing the bow, it looked like nothing it should have been. (sigh)

Today David sent me a picture he took on the way to Panama City, Florida. He posted it on Facebook and it amused many people. That made me miss the States even more, like you can have such little surprises anytime over there, and also, the people are eazy to be excited, which I like a lot. I think it's part of their nature. (smile)
