Balik kampung
(means "return to hometown" in Malay language)
This piece is inspired by sceneries of paddy fields and countryside from a plane.
I love pictures with lots of child-like imagination and paint strokes in them.
See: The making of Balik Kampung.

Fruity casserole
Believe it or not, this bowl below used to have banana-inspired patterns (leaf and tree). After Day 1 of painting, I found myself trying to salvage my poor piece by covering mistakes with more coats of paint.
On Friday evening (left with no internet lifeline and a lot of time to spare), I scraped the paint out and started all over again. It's a pity I didn't take a picture of what it look like before the facelift. Before, it was really ghastly-looking. This is definitely a remarkable change.

Fascination for Lilypads
Lilypads, lotus flower....
They are simple to draw and paint.
Pretty flower for a plant that can grow in the dirtest water!
Made test runs using the new Pebeo paints on two chinese tea cups. The great thing about the paints is that I can paint on just any off-the-shelf ceramic ware and baking can be done in mum's oven in the kitchen.
Instructions:
1. Paint
2. Leave to dry for 24 hours
3. Bake in oven at 150 degrees celcius for 35 minutes
4. Leave to cool
I spent about 2 hours on my mug from sketch to completion.
