Also joined Sketch Hong Kong for a culture and heritage sketchwalk around Causeway Bay. I did more than 30 sketches during the trip, most were done while eating or waiting for food :) https://leafbear.com/blog/malaysia-trip/ Thu, 01 Aug 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/malaysia-trip/ Went to KL and Seremban for a short trip last month. We arrived at the Larkin bus terminal around 2:30pm on that day, and bought tickets for the 3pm bus to KL. However, the bus didn’t take off until almost 4:45pm!! It seems that there were too few people on the bus so they keep delaying while trying to get more people to get on the bus… They even pretend to count the number of people on the bus and took our tickets so that we cannot get off the bus or get refund! How ridiculous…. I drew the bus terminal building and the bus next to us while waiting… https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-2/ Sat, 27 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-2/ Little India is one of the liviest places in SG, it is so sketch-able that I keep going back… I sketched these back in May when parents were in town and we took them to shop and sketch around Tekka market, I finally found time to add in the color earlier this month.. https://leafbear.com/blog/central-fire-station/ Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/central-fire-station/ Sketched the Central Fire Station from Funan Mall with a brush pen… the ink bleeds badly when watercolor was added… Central Fire Station https://leafbear.com/blog/sculpture-square-cafe/ Mon, 10 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sculpture-square-cafe/ This is a cafe near the Sculpture Square at Middle Road, these wooden boxes outside the cafe caught my eyes…they grow all kinds of herbs there… https://leafbear.com/blog/david-elias-buildin/ Tue, 04 Jun 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/david-elias-buildin/ This is the David Elias building at the junction of short street and middle road.

I sketched with a blue watercolor pencil and added the color later at home. https://leafbear.com/blog/queenstown/ Thu, 30 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/queenstown/ It was very hot last Sat, Dad and I joined the USKSG to sketch at Queenstown.. We went late and only managed to sketch the church right outside the mrt station.. as we missed the morning briefing, we didn’t know they changed the show-and-tell location to the community center until Pat came to get his car and kindly offered us a ride to the CC! We did another sketch outside block 47 after show-and-tell before heading home… https://leafbear.com/blog/bishanpark/ Wed, 29 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/bishanpark/ Finally managed to join the April sketchwalk at Bishan… I was drawing the Bishan Park from the McDonald .. in the comfort of air conditioning.,, https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchwalkchaophraya/ Fri, 08 Mar 2013 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchwalkchaophraya/ The highlight of Feburary is my first ever oversea sketch trip with the UrbanSketchers Singapore members at Bangkok, Thailand. It was a 2-day event organized by the Bangkok sketchers as part of the community festival that celebrate a heredity area next to the Chao Phraya River. I am impressed by the hospitality and the organization of the BKK sketchers. I enjoyed the experience very much and would sure be back to BKK! https://leafbear.com/blog/pop-up-art-store/ Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/pop-up-art-store/ Joined the Urban Sketchers Singapore for a 2-day art event…The following original sketches were submitted for exhibition and is on sale at the Viridian Art House (opposite Liang Court, at the foothills of Fort Canning Park) from 15 – 16 Dec. https://leafbear.com/blog/hk-trip/ Sat, 16 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/hk-trip/ Haven’t updated for a while as I went back to HK for a short break. Did not bring the camera this time, just a small sketchbook and a pen. It was great to see family and friends again, but the trip was too short. https://leafbear.com/blog/littleindia/ Wed, 16 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/littleindia/ Little India is such a colorful place to sketch, and you won’t run out of topics! Last Sat, I joined another sketching session at Buffalo Road, Little India organized by Master Chan Chang How. It was another fruitful session, Master Chan showed me how to sketch people, he was really fast and his sketch captured the motion and the form so nicely! The two persons in the sketch in the middle were done by Master Chan, I added them to my sketch with Photoshop :P He also showed me how to sketch the leaves in the drawing on the right, and helped me to add some darker parts to the drawing so that it’ll pop. https://leafbear.com/blog/south-bridge-road/ Sun, 13 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/south-bridge-road/ Last weekend, I joined Master Chan Chang How and the USKSG group to sketch along South Bridge Road around Chinatown. Master Chan is one of the most excellent watercolor painters in Singapore, and it was a very valuable experience to sketch with him. He is a very warm and generous person, volunteer to organize a sketching session like this to share his knowledge in sketching and painting. It was really helpful to see him demonstrate how our sketches could be improved. A very inspiring session indeed. https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india/ Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india/ Sketching at the Subway sandwiches store at the Verge.

I only had a few minutes to sketch while my friends went inside to take a quick look of the temple. https://leafbear.com/blog/couples/ Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/couples/ The Sky Park of the VivoCity was packed with couples on the V day. couples https://leafbear.com/blog/ion-orchard/ Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/ion-orchard/ sketched this outside ION Orchard, the landmark shopping mall on orchard road, singapore. this building has a unique outlook and is quite challenging to sketch. https://leafbear.com/blog/chinatown-sketches/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/chinatown-sketches/ Went sketching at Chinatown two days before CNY outside People’s Park Complex Chinatown Went there again the next day and sketched along South Bridge Road https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-esplanade/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-esplanade/ found a quiet shady spot at esplanade to sketch the marina bay… there was a big crowd at the merlion… marina bay https://leafbear.com/blog/paragon/ Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/paragon/ Did a quick sketch of the Christmas decorations on Orchard Road and outside Paragon last week. Paragon https://leafbear.com/blog/telok-ayer-street/ Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/telok-ayer-street/ After having lunch at the Korean restaurant MANNA on the Telok Ayer Street, I did a quick sketch of its shopfront. I sketched another shop along the street, and the entrance of the mosque inside Nagore Durgha. https://leafbear.com/blog/zen-japanese-vegetarian-restaurant/ Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/zen-japanese-vegetarian-restaurant/ I had the unagi don set and it was very delicious! The unagi tasted as good, if not better, as the real thing! The environment is nice too – spacious and comfy. Staffs are very friendly too. We shall visit again. https://leafbear.com/blog/holland-village-3/ Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/holland-village-3/ Had dim sum brunch at the Crystal Jade of Holland Village last weekend. We were sitting next to the window on the second floor, and I managed to draw this while having dim sum. https://leafbear.com/blog/teck-lim-road-and-bukit-pasoh-road/ Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/teck-lim-road-and-bukit-pasoh-road/ Thursday sketchwalk at Teck Lim Road and Bukit Pasoh last week. It was a very hot day. We found a shady spot at Teck Lim Road that looks into the back alley of the shophouses on Kiang Siak Road. Finish two sketches in around an hour. https://leafbear.com/blog/boat-quay-and-the-art-house/ Mon, 28 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/boat-quay-and-the-art-house/ Waterfront is always one of my favorite hang out place, from HK’s Victoria Harbour to TO’s Ontario Lake, and now SG’s Singapore River. It is always so calming an relaxing to sit and enjoy the view there. Last week, after having lunch at Boat Quay, I walked across the bridge to join other sketchers around the Asian Civilisations Museum to sketch. I sat outside this IndoChine restaurant, which is located at one wing of the ACM. I think there was a banquet or function going on, as I kept hearing musics and people singing while I sketch. https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park-hotel/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park-hotel/ Finally sketched the Goodwood Park Hotel, where we had our sinful high tea buffet. More info here. Goodwood Park Hotel https://leafbear.com/blog/holland-village-2/ Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/holland-village-2/ Now that the MRT circle line was opened, it is very easy to get to Holland Village. This also mean that it’d be more crowded than before! I was there last friday evening and it was sooo crowded – all the restaurants and streets seem to be packed with people! https://leafbear.com/blog/botanic-gardens/ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/botanic-gardens/ Sketched at the Botanic Gardens with USKSG friends last week. It was such a hot and humid day, I only finished 2 sketches. First one was done at the entrance of the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden. I’ve walked pass it many times but don’t seem to remember that this is what it look like – a butterfly! I decided to sketch it on a pre-colored watercolor paper. https://leafbear.com/blog/duxton-hill/ Fri, 04 Nov 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/duxton-hill/ The official sketchwalk in October was around the Duxton Hill area. It was my first time there and found many interesting things to sketch. Almost every building is so sketch-able I didn’t know where to start! I ended up at the junction of Duxton Hill and Duxton Road where there are some tree shades, and I decided to sketch this little shop across the road. It just stand out from others – the color, the flag and the sign board – looks like a cute store. It was only much later that I found this is a bookstore called ‘Littered with books’, and many sketchers had sketched it too. I should pay it a visit next time I’m around there. https://leafbear.com/blog/balestier-road/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/balestier-road/ Joined USKSG for a weekday sketchwalk at Balestier Road yesterday afternoon. It has been raining almost every afternoon this past week, and yesterday was no exception. It started raining once we stepped out of Loy Kee, the chicken rice restaurant. Once we arrived at our first location, the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, it started pouring. The Memorial Hall is now a museum, and I ended up spending more than an hour inside the museum before I started sketching. https://leafbear.com/blog/deepavali/ Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/deepavali/ “Deepavali, which literally means “row of lights,” is celebrated by Hindus across the world and is the most important festival in Hinduism. In Singapore, the Festival of Lights, as it’s endearingly called, falls on 26 October 2011 and is a public holiday.” – read more at the YourSingapore.com web site. https://leafbear.com/blog/universal-studio/ Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/universal-studio/ Sketched this last week while waiting to pick up my uncle and aunt from the Universal Studio of Singapore. The studio is all dressed up for the Halloween event! https://leafbear.com/blog/urban-sketchers-singapore-bookexhibition/ Fri, 21 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/urban-sketchers-singapore-bookexhibition/ I was at The URA Centre this evening, for the book launch and the exhibition of Urban Sketchers Singapore. The exhibition features sketchbooks, sketches, photos, and videos of the fellow SG sketchers. I’ve also contributed a small sketchbook, 2 small sketches, and a collaborative drawing for the exhibition. If you are in SG, please drop by the URA center and check it out! The exhibition last until 24 Dec 2011. https://leafbear.com/blog/kl-trip/ Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/kl-trip/ Haven’t been posting recently, as I’ve been traveling most of the time the past 2 weeks. We went to KL on the first weekend of Oct. It was a very short trip and I only managed to draw on the plane to KL, at the S2 hotel, and on the train back. https://leafbear.com/blog/september-sketchwalk-at-club-street/ Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/september-sketchwalk-at-club-street/ I had a wonderful time sketching with the Singapore Urban Sketchers at Club Street for the monthly sketch-walk last weekend. Instead of sketching on our own, we were challenged to collaborate with other sketchers on a panoramic sketch of Club Street. I teamed up with a new friend, Chao, and did the following piece. I didn’t think much about it when I started, luckily Chao did some magic and put the drawing into the right perspective and some nice composition. I then went back to Club Street on Monday morning to finish off the last part of the sketch. It was a good learning experience and I really enjoyed sketching with others! https://leafbear.com/blog/nationallibrary/ Wed, 28 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/nationallibrary/ Library is always a good place to sketch people. Sketched these while having a bite at the cafe of the National Library. https://leafbear.com/blog/raffles-hotel/ Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/raffles-hotel/ I was sketching at the courtyard of Raffles Hotel, one of the most famous hotel in Singapore, earlier this month. Raffles Hotel https://leafbear.com/blog/malay-village/ Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/malay-village/ Joined the Urban Sketchers Singapore to sketch at Malay Village and Joo Chiat Road twice this month. We first did some thumbnail sketches, then we were given an hour to go back to one of the thumbnail locations to paint a larger piece. I liked the idea of thumbnail sketches and the multiple sharing sessions that we had, there were more interactions among the participants for sure. https://leafbear.com/blog/chinese-garden/ Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/chinese-garden/ Last week, I was visiting my friend at NTU. On my way back, I decided to get off at the Chinese Garden MRT and explore the area. Apparently, this is the site of the lantern festival in Sept. I ended up staying there for a few good hours sketching away~ https://leafbear.com/blog/city-hall-sketchwalk/ Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/city-hall-sketchwalk/ July’s sketchwalk was around the City Hall MRT area. This time it was a whole day event, but I only managed to join the afternoon session. The first stop after having lunch at the Funan was the Central Fire Station. It is definitely one of the most challenging buildings I’ve drawn. I got caught in the details and spent more than an hour to draw just one tower of the building… https://leafbear.com/blog/marina-bay/ Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/marina-bay/ Went sketching at Marina Bay last Friday. This is the Marina Bay Financial Center, a very tall building. It seems that there are still some constructions going on. https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park/ Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/goodwood-park/ Updated: Finally sketched the Goodwood Park Hotel We were back at the GoodWood Park! Still loved the food – you can tell from how much I ate. But we really should not go back there again so soon, all the good foods made me feel guilty! https://leafbear.com/blog/woodlands-train-checkpoint/ Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/woodlands-train-checkpoint/ We need to pick up a guest at the Woodlands train station two weeks ago so we went there for the first time, but it was a horrible experience. First, we waited more than 30 minutes for the bus. Then, we got caught in a traffic jam and the bus moved very slowly, it took us more than 75 minutes to get to Woodlands. The worst part is, we did not get off the bus at the right station because a lot of people got on the bus at Kranji and totally blocked our view/way. Before we knew, we were already at the Immigration Tower where we were asked to show our passports! Of course we did not have passports with us, as we had no intention of going across the border and just want to go to the train station. But there is no way out from there, and we had to ask the security guard/immigration officer for help. Finally, we had to hand in our IDs to the officers there, and wait for an armed guard/officer to escort us through the tower. We waited for around 30 minutes before an officer came. We were then took to a room where we had to wait again for our IDs to be checked. I cannot believe what we had gone through! It was well passed 7pm when we finally get to the train station, when we were supposed to be there at 5:30. We decided to take a cab back after picking up our guest, and it only took us around 25 min to be back in town. https://leafbear.com/blog/nando-and-vivocity/ Fri, 29 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/nando-and-vivocity/ Nando is famous for its peri-peri chicken. We were at their Bugis store a few times and quite like their food. This time, we tried the one at PlazaSingapura. For some reasons, the foods don’t seem to be as good. I also ordered a ‘refreshing mint’ drink, and it was SO sour – I can hardly taste the mint but lime juice. I guess we should just go back to Bugis next time. https://leafbear.com/blog/bukit-timah-plaza/ Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/bukit-timah-plaza/ Bukit Timah Plaza is a pretty old shopping complex, but you can find all kinds of stores there. My friend took me there for Laksa last time. This time, it already passed lunch time when I arrived, and all the laksa and prawn noodles were sold out. I ordered a cup of ‘hot tea’, which is actually milk tea, so that I can sit down and sketch. While sketching, I overheard the ladies in front saying that this place has very nice Nonya desserts too. https://leafbear.com/blog/fairprice/ Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/fairprice/ This is the entrance of FairPrice at Coronation Plaza. We usually get our groceries here. FairPrice https://leafbear.com/blog/piquenique/ Tue, 19 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/piquenique/ We went to Orchard Road on Sunday and it was SO SO SO crowded. There was even a big crowd at the entrance of an underpass and people need to line up to get in! It’s that crazy! ! It was about dinner time when we were at Takashimaya, so we went to the food court to look for food. Needless to say, there were lineups everywhere and no free table at the food court at all. We decided to go somewhere for dinner, and we found this little cafe called PiqueNique on our way out. It has some interesting decorations – large tins of milk bottles were hanging on the walls. We were seated at the middle of a long table as this is the only available spot left, and there was a cute glass bottle on the table, with a paper tag in it. The letters ‘LTM’ were printed on the tag. I drew these sketches while waiting for my food – ‘big breakfast cheese burgers with fries’, which costs $12 before tax/service charge. https://leafbear.com/blog/tiongbahrucommunitysketchwalk/ Sat, 16 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/tiongbahrucommunitysketchwalk/ It was a very hot day last sunday. Everyone’s out sketching already when I finally arrived at the White Canvas Gallery. It was so hot that I decided to stay inside the gallery and check out the exhibition first. There were so many lovely sketches. After cooling down, I went outside to look for other sketchers, and found Tia being surrounded by a bunch of people. I joined them and watched Tia starting on her second sketch. It was so inspiring to watch an artist work. I thought I was just gonna watch, but then decided to get my sketchbook out and start drawing too. I managed to finish two sketches. Colors were added at home later. https://leafbear.com/blog/mr-prata-and-lespresso/ Sun, 03 Jul 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/mr-prata-and-lespresso/ We had an evening walk around CCAB last week, and stopped at Mr. Prata to enjoy some yummy prata and one of my favorite drinks, the Milo Dinosaur~ mr.prata This sketch was made more than a month ago, when having high tea buffet at L’Espresso @ Goodwood Park Hotel. The food was great, and the tea set was so pretty that I had to sketch it. https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-sketchwalk/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/little-india-sketchwalk/ Joined USK Singapore for the Little India sketchwalk. We arrived late, as usual; but this time we couldn’t see sketchers everywhere. We tried to find the group but I guess Little India is actually not that ‘little’, we had no idea where did everyone go. After wandering around for a while, I decided to stay at the Little India Arcade to sketch as it started raining. Only managed to do two sketches, one was the flower shops on the Campbell Lane, and the other was a corner shop at the Little India Arcade. There were so much to see there, and everything is so colorful – the houses, the shops, the street, the people. I should go back to sketch more later. Added the colors later at home, and scanned the sketches with my brand new scanner – yummy colors! https://leafbear.com/blog/pottery-class/ Mon, 27 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/pottery-class/ I had my first pottery class at Tanglin CC last week, it was fun!

A lot of people went there with their camera to take picture before it shuts down. From July 2001 onwards, we need to go to Woodlands to take the train to MY instead. https://leafbear.com/blog/starbucks-2/ Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/starbucks-2/ Sketching at Starbucks yesterday, enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate with jazz musics and air conditioning.

After the sketchcrawl, we had lunch with friends at the Mexican restaurant, Cha Cha Cha at Holland V.

I went earlier and did a sketch outside the Central. After the appointment, I came back for more sketches. It is a very quiet and peaceful place to sketch in the early morning. The only complain is, I got sunburn because it was too sunny and hot and I forgot my sunscreen! https://leafbear.com/blog/sai-kung-sketches/ Sat, 16 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sai-kung-sketches/ went sketching around the Sai Kung Pier and the waterfront park area with family last month… a few months ago, i also visited one of the offshore island, Yim Tin Tsai Village with my friend https://leafbear.com/blog/singapore-sketches/ Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/singapore-sketches/ joined the Singapore urban sketchers for a sketchwalk during my CNY trip in SG other SG sketches… https://leafbear.com/blog/ipoh/ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/ipoh/ went to Ipoh for a short trip last month, spent most of the time on the road.. and it was too hot, didn’t manage to sketch the city… https://leafbear.com/blog/27th-world-wide-sketchcrawl/ Tue, 01 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/27th-world-wide-sketchcrawl/ had to work that day, just did a solo sketchcrawl during lunch at the Apple Green restaurant: https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchcrawl-at-central/ Wed, 05 May 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchcrawl-at-central/ https://leafbear.com/blog/cornwell-cafe/ Tue, 20 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/cornwell-cafe/ had a little sketchcrawl at the cornwell cafe and festival walk about 2 weeks ago.. beef omelette and red bean ice for lunch table decoration salt and pepper lychee soda at EXP https://leafbear.com/blog/starbucks/ Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/starbucks/ https://leafbear.com/blog/green-drinks/ Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/green-drinks/ how many green drinks can one have in a day?Guava, cucumber and lime, green apple, sugar cane, green tea latte… EDM: Draw something green https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-sam-mun-tsai/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-sam-mun-tsai/ https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-stanley/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketching-at-stanley/ https://leafbear.com/blog/waterfront/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/waterfront/ went down to shau kei wan and sketched last weekend… https://leafbear.com/blog/man-mo-temple/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/man-mo-temple/ https://leafbear.com/blog/stanley/ Fri, 07 Aug 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/stanley/ finally went sketchcrawl at stanley.. it was fun.. except that i got all soaked because of the crazy rain… lucky the stanley market is just steps away and i found some dry clothes there.. only made 3 drawings this time… https://leafbear.com/blog/a-tree/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/a-tree/ https://leafbear.com/blog/hk/ Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/hk/ drew this on the star ferry, from TST to wanchai.. https://leafbear.com/blog/ludwig-king/ Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/ludwig-king/ yummy! https://leafbear.com/blog/macau/ Mon, 06 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/macau/ took Mom to Macau abt 2 months ago.. and watched the《ZAIA》show by the Cirque du Soleil Macau… i fell asleep while watching the show -__-~ drew these on the ferry on the way to Macau.. https://leafbear.com/blog/1-min-sketches/ Sun, 05 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/1-min-sketches/ some quick sketches i did while on the bus…and when watching tv and looking out from my bedroom window… https://leafbear.com/blog/hk-art-centre/ Sun, 10 May 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/hk-art-centre/ had dinner at the cafe in the art center before watching the show “Goodbye but goodbye” by Kearen Pang last month.. mushroom omelette w/ cheese… tasted pretty good.. also had some peppermint tea.. https://leafbear.com/blog/on-the-bus/ Fri, 08 May 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/on-the-bus/ 104 to wan chai.. https://leafbear.com/blog/tram/ Mon, 04 May 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/tram/ https://leafbear.com/blog/682/ Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/682/ drew this on the bus 682 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchcrawl-lamma-island/ Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0000 https://leafbear.com/blog/sketchcrawl-lamma-island/ I went to Lamma Island with a few friends on the 11th April for a hiking/sketching/photo trip.
