    What to do now? (weekly roundup)

    I have been cutting down my time on instagram and Facebook. Deleted the apps and only check when there’s a couple specific things to look up. Am I happier? I don’t know, but the urge to post daily and check if anyone like or comment my posts are gone. Less likely to check on comments…

    Shopping with toddler.

    I have used my new ultramarine Rawlinsonend.com and the watercolour paint from artful watercolour box in these two drawings. This is how we normally go out. As we are living in a hilly area, and pushing the buggy uphill kills my shoulders, I usually only take my sling to go out with Juno. She loves…

    Getting dressed and other chores (weekly round up)

    The days are very long. Kids get up early and not able to go to sleep until 10. And the younger one hasn’t slept enough. She is grumpy all day, every day, until evening. All day I have been so busy I rarely have time to sit down. Yet I am insanely bored. Last night…

    The Boy and the dog

    A little practice. Drawing from photo of son when he was 5 and the dog when it was still a pup. Lazy day, Juno’s nap was brief.

    Weekly round-up

    So, as I said, I was busy with my homework and went to London last weekend. So things have been slow. But I have still done plenty of drawings. Here are a few: I have started this a while ago, its a mixed media on marker paper work. This is typical scene in my house…

    A day like this

    If you are looking for advice, you are at the wrong place. I write this blog not because I am an expert of parenting, but because I haven’t a clue, because I am so busy yet so bored. Don’t take this as a hint and tell me what I should do, what I should try,…

    Sketchbook log

    Hi guys. This is going to be a quick one. A few things that I am working on, or I shouldn’t be working on. It’s been really difficult this week and involves a lot of crying. She could be one minute very excited to go to the park, next minute have a meltdown and we…

    I have done it! (at least the easy part)

    I have bought the domain! Part of my new year resolutions, get back on blogging regularly and consume less. I am hoping blog at least once a week to record my kids’ growth and my life in general, things that I am working on, other blogs, movies and books that I enjoy, things I treasure.…

  • On blogging and diary keeping

    I know blogging isn’t popular at all. Although there are a few diligent bloggers, many have dropped out years ago when social media takes over. I have started blogging since my teenage, on and off, more off than on. And every now and then, I wish I had a consistent blog of 5 years, 10…

    Happy new year

    不知不覺已經是2022年! (非常cliché) 新的一年我沒有什麼大志,一年到尾每天也要湊仔,洗衫煮飯陪玩陪瞓,lego火車執完又執,到晚上兩個小朋友睡了我才開始catch up大學的功課,然後又嘗試早兩個小時起身繼續做功課,還有時間沖涼已很有ambition,所以我真的有心無力keep up with the social media game。在2021年下半年我完成了一本sketch journal,那是我很自豪的一件事。其他的,隨緣了。 這張畫是今年第一張在新的sketchbook畫起的畫,是一天早上我看到bertie 早起床還有半小時才要換衫上學的放空時間,看他的關於宇宙的書, 那一頁的標題是《The Life Cycle of Stars》。juno看著窗外太陽升起陽光照在小鎮的教堂外牆。太陽是恒星,相比起渺小的我們,和我們的悲喜,是永恒的,;教堂大概百年前在這裡,百年後仍屹立此地,但相對他們這個年紀,胖胖的臉龐,甚麼也笑大半天的幼稚氣,就像影射在教堂的日光,在各種家務和沉悶煩鎖事匆匆忙忙中,一轉身就不會再見了。 It’s 2022 before you know it! (What a cliché) I am not able to have much new year resolutions, every day is the same: same old laundry, cooking, breastfeeding the 2-year-old, changing nappies, teaching my 8-year-old everyday,…
