从出江湖

As a parting gift to Crush, I've been asked to pen the four characters 金台夕照 for a Creative presentation. It's a property ad, hence the adequacy of the words.

I've hung up my calligraphy brush since Sec 4 and I wasn't an expert to begin with. Luckily my tools (brush, ink, writing guide) were in working condition but it took me a while to regain the hang of writing calligraphy.

It's strangely therapeutic writing calligraphy. When you're concentrating hard on injecting strength into the characters with the soft brush and make sure every stroke is flawless, you'll block out every sound and every thought. And at the end of it, you'll see the results of your hard work.

I was rather happy with my piece. I hope it was good enough for the Art Director :)

It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Serene and the calligraphy girls, when you are free, let's get together and 切磋切磋 :)

Laughing To The Walls

Happy new year everybody!!

I can't describe my exhilaration. I'm actually ending work when it's still daylight. I get home, bathe and still will be in time for the 7pm show on Channel 8. I mean I get to watch TV now, no matter what rubbish is showing on TV!

I'm now getting so much more "me" time at a much higher pay. No wonder I come home and laugh aloud to the walls, "HAHAHAHAHA................!!" everyday :)
