Art SG @ MBS

Perks of being an art cher... sponsored visit to ART SG @ MBS as part of PD LJ organised by ⭐... 😍😍😍



this series of painting by artist Barry McGlashan makes me feel peaceful and...


lonely


so lonely




hmmm.... what happened???... meant to be... 






我的童年... 老夫子 and friends are like the chinese version of Mr Bean and had kept me very entertained when little me accompanied mummy for her haircuts... 




my favourite!!!... i want this on my whiteboard wall!!! luv the texture, luv the vibrancy in the colour, luv that the blue flowers 'burst' out of the canvas at me... this makes me happy!!!😍😍😍 

and it was sold in the same moment when i was admiring its beauty... so surreal to see the staff walked over to affix the little red dot sticker onto its label to indicate that it was sold!!!






my second favourite!!! luv the colours, luv the playful vibe it brings to the space!!!












my third favourite!!! am awed, impressed with the limited palette that artist Hoon Kwak used, yet shows so much details... SEE the RAIN!!! 





 cases of "i can do this also lo" "but u didnt!"

Giving Thanks in January

17th Jan (Fri)


giving thanks to jeo, qi yi and sylvia for these cny goodies... jeo says the earrings will give me 旺旺 at my favourite games oh... 😍😍😍



9th Jan (Thur)

survived my first mri... not as scary as i had imagined it to be... another case of 自己吓自己... 😅😅😅



8th Jan (Wed)


giving thanks to 暖暖心 colleagues... Jeo gifted me this tube of sunscreen after hearing my complains about my 'new' sunspots during our Aston lunch last week while Ai Rin gave me a thank you note & cookie for her hatchday prezzie... 😍😍😍 



4th Jan (Sat)

had a terrible night of sleep... had a terrible moody morning...it's a day where i shouldnt be left alone to 胡思乱想 胡思乱骂 so super thankful when joyce invited me over to gym together and thankful for kakis who suggested, sponsored and participated in our first ever mask-jong together too... 😂😂😂



I.II.MMXXV (Thur)

original plan was to title this year's monthly entry as "MicroJoy in..." as inspired by the book "MicroJoys" that i read in May last year... but I had used "Joy in..." just in 2024 and MicroJoy in 2025 does sound like a downgrade in retrospect... 😂😂😂


nopx, i'm not gonna jinx my 2025... my life can only get better and be better. Since i'm reading on how practicing gratitude is an amazing tool to help children (and me) build our happiness and well-being in "My Happy Mind", i decided to tweak it for this year's monthly headers... 


and for today, i am giving thanks to :

> wise & flexible leadership that allows me to sleep in a little more and to wfh today

> the efficiency and resourcefulness to finish all that i had to for Art & PAL... no math this year!!! HooWoo!!! 

> the determination to complete book #1 of the year "My Happy Mind"

> the anti-laziness to go out for lunch just so to have the much needed veg intake and for my 7km hamster walk walk which allowed me to bump into uncle wan!!!
