Modern Calligraphy

Finally had a chance to pick up calligraphy lessons that's so in trend now. Hoping to master the skills soon, and just in time for this holiday season! 

 

  

Some sketches from 2015

Was sorting out my files and happened to chance upon 2 sketches that I had forgotten to post here. So... here's some from 2015.

This was done for Daddy Wee. A simple drawing of us to wish him the bestest birthday of all. 

Started on a new style without outlines. 

Here's one more drawing done up just a couple of days ago. 

Shall try to explore with some other different styles as and when I have time. -SJ

A New Beginning: 4 months into Parenthood

Here's a simple drawing of my baby girl (as I've imagined) just weeks before I was due. She has a lot more hair than my drawing and nope she hasn't learnt to crawl yet but yes i'm definitely looking forward to this new upcoming milestone! Time flies and it's been 4 months plus since we became parents! It was a roller-coaster ride with many ups and downs... along the way, we make mistakes and we learn! And since I've always loved children... having this baby of mine has made my life even more wonderful!

With the arrival of the little one, it meant that my husband and I would have lesser time to do our own things. Lesser time to catch up with friends, no more movie dates, lesser shopping (well i still get to shop for her stuff!), lesser sleep and all...etc. But deep in my heart, I know this little angel of mine will grow up real fast...hence I'm definitely going to enjoy all the precious time I have with her.

I wouldn't say it's an easy journey...but things are getting easier along the way. It's pretty amazing when I see how much this little new bundle of joy resembles me! And to think how much she has grown from a tiny little cell...that's one amazing creation. A gift from heaven.

The magical moment of the year is almost here!

A quick sketch drawn for this week! Let's just say... December started off well and I'm loving every bits of it! Spotting a baby bump in here and looking forward to meeting our little bub of love this February 2015! So before we head off for all the upcoming Christmas gatherings and meetups, here's wishing all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Love,
SJ

The season of joy

The weather's cooling down, the decorations on orchard road are up...the season of joy is almost here! Looking forward to yet another awesome December! More posts coming right up!

Cheers,

Change is the only constant

This year has been a year full of changes. Good changes I'd say. So first thing... The project that I've been working on has come to an end and that would mean a change in job/company. It's really hard saying goodbye to friends and awesome colleagues I've known all these years (7 years in the industry), but moving on would mean better and new challenges ahead!

Also, we will be expecting a new family member in our lives come next February! More posts in abit. And in the meantime, it's probably a good time to churn out more works (which definitely includes a polishing of my animation demoreel) and keep my sketches/works column updated again!

Our first staycation

It's been 5 months plus since we got married. And it's been really awesome ever since we got used to each other's lifestyle and new schedules in life. But I must admit, life in Singapore as a working adult can get quite stressful at times. And since I haven't got many leaves left for holidays, I was lucky enough to win a 1 night stay (from a Vitagen Facebook Contest) in the Amara Sanctuary's Larkhill Terrace this year! A good treat for my husband and I to relax and chill out on a perfect Saturday!

So here's a pic of our beautiful one night stay room. Well I had to grab this one photo from the website cos the ones I took wouldn't do justice to the beautiful place. But the rest below are taken with my iPhone5. So yeahhh...I'm totally in love with the concept of having a pool right at the back of our room, a bathtub in the open space (well, close the door when you're intending to take a bath in it, of course) and a day bed for one to lie down and relax! Plus it was drizzling on Sunday morning, hence it felt really nice to just lie there for breakfast while we enjoy the cool breeze and nice blue pool!

 The rest of the photos that were taken on my iPhone5

A shot of the bathroom with rain shower. Pretty similar to our home. 

 Shot from the outside, across the pool. 

A couple of shots of the pool before we check out on Sunday Morning. 

Overall, it's been a really good experience and I'd give Larkhill Terrace a 4.5/5 stars! Nice place to relax in and it's perfect for a lil' getaway! 

Cheers,

SJ
