{ Happy Holidays }

Finally back from Japan. Been busy unpacking and cleaning the apartment. Took lots of photos in Japan but this is my fav. It reminds me that there will always be light as long as we don't give up.

Take Care and happy holidays.

{ My November 2014 }

What my November looks like in a monthly visual format. I'm learning to do watercolor so decided to do a watercolor exercise everyday in my daily sketchbox journal. (It is a traveler's notebook from Midori.) I'm also using it to for my idea book + monthly headlines list. Will post more about it later on. I have talked about using the Blogger app on my smartphone to post my daily drawing + ideas, but the app just didn't work for me. So will have to go back to doing the weekly post instead. Take Care :D

{ Traveler's Notebook Hong Kong Tramways Edition 香港電車旅人手帳 ~ 1st Impression }

Just got this today!! Super excited since it is the Hong Kong Tramways edition! I remember riding the tram with mama when I was a little kid. :D I love the logo on the front cover! ( I think it is an old logo coz I cannot find any information about it anymore.) The sticker pack is beautiful. I believe many of the designs are based on actual tickets collected over the years. Thank you Midori + Log-On + Patrick + HK Tramways + the Ticket Collectors for making this edition possible! Will share a setup later next week. Take Care! :D

{ Drawing + Idea Everyday }

I would like to use this blog to document my creative things everyday such as what I draw/create/my ideas.  Coz sharing makes the world a better place. \@0@/ I have not tried the blogger app since it has received very poor review especially for posting photos. I'm still going to try it on my phone and will see how it goes. If the app is as bad as everyone said it is... I will do a weekly Drawing + Idea post instead of daily one. (I will post the photos on IG.)
