The chair has nothing to do with what's written in the next page. And to those that may have noticed, yes. The sketch is the chair from IKEA. I write down quotes or phrases that I like in this book. In this particular entry, I was reading an article from a magazine reviewing about a …

My first Tombow

My friend came back from Thailand recently and bought me this mint dual tip Tombow brush! LOVE the colour. And it's unexpectedly longer than I thought (that's what she said) 😂

Banana Milk

I was kind of grossed out by the idea at first but this drink is popular in Korea especially among kids. So I thought if the kids have no problems with it, I should give it a try. It's definitely banana and milk. Almost tasting like cough syrup. Almost. It stops at a sweet spot …

I recently bought the Pentel Aquash water brush and the application is soooo much smoother than the first water brush I bought. Don't recall the brand though. My sketchbook is filled with novice attempts of roses, hydrangeas and a explosion-looking flower. Love the new brush because it doesn't leak like the previous. I'll post more …

Silence doesn’t mean…

It takes a lot to not say a lot, because when you're not talking, you're thinking. Talkers don't think much; their words drown out any possibility of hearing their subconscious asking, Why did you say that? What do you really think? - Cecelia Ahern in "The Book Of Tomorrow"

No pressure

Now that I've familiarise myself with watercolouring, I understand now why artists love it so much. I used to hate the idea of letting go control and let the water does its work. I hated that I needed watercolour paper to paint on and to consider how much paint you pick up and how much …

Not what they seem

I just found out that those people that sells beauty product does not really know much about skin. Some do but mostly doesn't. They're only trained to sell products they represent. They're only trained to give advice on what products to sell upon hearing certain keywords customer says. Huge pores, oily, dry, flaking skin, dark …

On what happens after you jump off cliffs and other scary things

….you die.

I can’t recall was it The Last Song or The Vampires Diaries that said: eulogies aren’t for the dead to hear; they’re for comforting the living.

No matter how much pain you think or you’re truly in, there’s no greater pain than losing a person in your life that was supposed to be with you forever. If you love them, you wouldn’t harm yourself. Because the person you’re actually killing isn’t you; it’s them.

The blog I reposted had nothing to do with death but I was just reminded or prompted to write what I wrote because of her blog title.

Hudhurungi

I did a scary thing, a bold thing. But this piece is not about taking the plunge, it’s not about gathering the guts to leave your comfort zone, it is about what you experience and feel immediately after leaving your comfort zone.

I still experience bouts of fear, I still feel jittery and daunted.

This is for my fellow cliff jumpers, are you afraid too, even after the jump? Is it a bit like jumping off a cliff into the ocean and being submerged under the waves? You know that you will come up and swim, eventually, but for now the force of your jump has you under the rolling waves.

Well this is me, this is me saying that I am still scared, and if you are too, blink twice. We are learning together, are we not?

I am still daunted, still trembling in hope and fear, still learning…
