Immortalizing dear friends on canvas


I went painting. Epic moment for me...because I haven't really painted anything since those torturous high school art lessons/exams. That's definitely more than 10 years ago.

Yu-Chieh, a dear church friend of mine, and I decided to go painting on the day I found out my singer friend, Elin had passed away from cancer. And 2 weeks ago, Chia Yen had just passed on too.

Two young, bright, beautiful mothers, wives and friends. 33 and 32 respectively. I had no words express my confusion and grief. It was then time to do something completely different and not routine. We dropped by Brendon's paint-ertainment cafe, The Escape Artist. 

Starting off with the landscape colours. 
I love this roller. It does wonders with acrylic paints.
Creates gorgeous textures. 


My landscape. Warm colours. 
I didn't add blue till later.



Yu-Chieh didn't quite know where to start at first. 
So she randomly picked her happy colours. Purple and Pink.

Painting Chia Yen


This is a depiction of Elin. Singing. In heaven.


Little notes.

I used to put this on every exam paper I sat for. 
It stands for "In God I Trust".

Ta-da

More Faith....in a GOOD GOD

Today, Miss '爆炸头' - a.k.a Winnie, a chick with a HUGE afro-ish Scary Spice hair-do prayed for me. She doesn't know me, but turned around after service and offered to pray for me. A few things came up during the prayer. She didn't specifically prophesy. But the way she was praying, she was getting stuff from the Spirit. She prayed Prov 4:18 ( The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day)  over me, for some time, stating that God would lead me, and the path would become brighter and brighter, clearer and clearer. I was to have faith. More faith that God would lead me safely and surely. She also stated the need to seek God even more through prayer for his presence and guidance (guilty. It's been difficult to be disciplined about prayer). She prayed and declared that my work would be the platform for many good things God wanted to do through me. The work and the position I had in my work was important, she...
