will it work?

I once thought that, how do the pros draw something so naturally easy, and may repeat it in almost perfection? Me myself can't draw a pretty drawing unless there's luck, feel and inspiration. I can only draw one that I myself like in a rare season or timing.

Think.... think..... Maybe every pros has their own comfort zone. They all have found it and that's what's giving them confidence in what they draw.

I'm not good with shadings, coloring, so I'm not good with just paper, pen, and color mediums. Lately, I've thought of another kaedah to finish up my art with some color cause my drawing was all in pencil/art line marker. (black and white)

I'd always like cut-and-paste-ing. So this kaedah is base on that.
Mission1: to make a picture of a girl wearing a beautiful dress
Point: to emphasize the dress.
Dress: made up of small red paper cuttings
red: made up of many types of red, ex. purple, pink, orange...
Mission 2: make dress look 3D by pasting and overlapping the red papers

Hopefully this is my comfort zone and I , one day, can make something of my own to be sold on net.
ps. The artwork will be immediately post on this blog once it's finish.

'ding' (in case you don't know, it's a sound effect)

I've been really bored these days. It's free from SPM pressure, but bored with TOTALLY NOTHING TO DO. (except forcing myself to study that stupid JPJ book to pass undang test)

Today, in a cloudy afternoon, I was wondering around the house (picture it), heading for the TV remote control, a magazine 'The Pearl' caught my attention with its red and golden front page. I decided to head for that magazine.

Loosing interest with my dear TV (sorry...), I went up stairs and read a article of 'Earn The Extras'. It's about earning some cash besides depending on a single pay check. I though I can also start a business by selling some craft since I have plenty of time now.
For now, I'm planning everything in my head. I want to sell festive cards through a blog, trying to take in any possible inspiration, make contact with Yee Leng to ask for tips...

Quite exited now.. I told Pa, Ma and Wan Teng about my thought. PaMa told me to do something else.
Pa said>> tuition for our Taman. Cos our taman very pedalaman, people need to go far out to get tuition. Sure got demand.
Ma said>> I think you should offer violin lesson, cos it's better chance than selling cards
Teng said>> I think selling cards is better
I think >>It's best to work at home.

I should finish everything I'm doing now first so that I'm more organized. I'm starting to clear my school stuff, study undang. Doing research too, to kick start my business. Wish me luck!!

How you talk to the gods?

Everyone talk differently to the gods? With different language, tone n bla bla...

Few days ago, me, Wan Cheng and mum went to the temple to light a lamp of blessing for my big sis, Yee Yen. First thing upon stepping into the temple, we'll donate some money and go on in front every gods to say a prayer.

Last time when I was here, my parents light a lamp to give me luck in my spm, but I was 'rejective' to it, so my mum wrote 'health and safety' as the request for that lamp. This time, I came back and thank the gods.

I told the first god, "thank you for blessing me in my spm".
to the second god, "thank you for blessing me in my spm... if you have"
the third god pulak, "thank you for blessing me in my spm... if you have."
and.. I'm not sure it's me or the god, said, "the person you should be thanking is your parents, they are the ones who were blessing you".

I also request to the second god to give me luck to recover from my sickness, "but it's good to get sick once in a while". Then, I thought of that quote 'don't simplt talk in front of a god'.
(Continue to talk to the god) "I hope that everything would go well", so that my request is not directly focssing on my health, that I would recover SLOWLY.

I'm young and don't really understand my religion's teachings. Walking around the temple, I'm curious if there's anything in that steel body (god statue), it's just a statue but people pray to them for health, wealth and etc.

Wan Cheng once told me that praying, doesn't necessary mean that you have to talk to the god. I see mum went in front of the god a few times. Seems like she have a lot of stuff to tell the god. She pray with her eyes closed, I wonder how and what she's telling the gods...

Haiyooo

cough.. cough.. ppppuuuu.. ha ci...>,< eeeeee..... haiyooo

i'm sick. Hate it when I get sick cause the 'sick' in me easily gets worse. Baru hari ke-3, batuk tu dah masuk kak lungs, even the sound of my cough sounds like the paru-paru's going to got cough-out. Demam tu pulak asyik buat aku pening, macam dah nak jatuh pengsan.
(wah, such good adjectives. How come this does not happen in my essays?)

this morning, the 'fluids' are all gone- Thanks to the white tablet my dad gave me, but I start to had cough prob, making me sound like La Carlotta. Can't speak, can only whisper. When my mum called this afternoon, i spoke with a 'meh'(cantonese) sound, I don't think she can really understand what was i saying..

they use to call me..

first post would be... mmmmm..
nicknames

I got quite a number of them,
my friends gave me the name 'lily water' and 'alibaba' bacause it relates to my name: wan lee. It wasn't so creative, isn't it?
At secondery school, my friends name me 'wan tan mee'. It's a scrabble of my full name: Tan Wan Lee
Lately, I got the gelaran 'miss steamboat' bacause I love steamboat. I frequenly ask my family to go eat steamboat as dinner until some of them got fad'up (don't know the correct spelling)
Next one.. 'Money' My grandma use to call me manee as wanlee or ah lee (my family call me as ah lee). Now come to think of it, this is the most special one among all my nicknames..
