My Mask

People wear masks for so many reasons. Some wear a fake mask to hide the true feeling. Some wear for ritual reasons. Some wear for fun. Finally, some wear for art. This time I wear for art.

During my long holiday, I was able to find some time to make a mask inspired by Venice. I had made it by using newspapers and painted by using water colour. It is just a simple piece of my artworks. I really like it because it represents me in an artistic way.

Behold my mask:

Hahaha, not that cool and fierce.

Not that yellowish..hehehe



Behold this is my real masks.



It is a bit fat. Well, I admit that I still have some baby fat.



Nice!!!!





lovely ! red, black, white!




my mask' eye is glittering.



Lastly, you all must have been waiting for me to wear the mask. Due to certain circumstances, okey, it was scary when I wear the mask. I EVEN SCARED MYSELF. Hahaha! So, just accept the mask as it represents me.By the way, I used my own face as the mould,hahaha, sacrifice for art.

Omg! I was No.1 blogger at wretch.

Actually. I have been blogging for a year in another website called wretch which I think is quite famous in Taiwan.

I still remembered when I first found out this site from my senior sis, Yeeyee Sis. So, at that time, I was still not aware of what is blog. But, after reading some of her articles , I realised that I also have the passion to write and to share my thoughts to everybody just like her. Visit her blog here to find out what she thinks.


At wretch website, I was selected as A RANDOM BLOGGER in this category. Well, some people might think what is the big deal with that. To be honest, for me, it is like winning a lottery. Furthermore, I was No.1 in this category. Omg!!!!!!!!!! Surprise...................Below, the highlighted box is me.............................................




I also received a message from them. It was a congratulation message. I was thrilled, it was not easy to get selected. I was honoured and encouraged to produce more articles.


Thanks !!! Wretch !!!! and Thanks for the people who left message in my blog!

It was really encouraging!

Thanks!(I think I sounded like I won a beauty pageant, hahaha!!!)

As Time Goes By(Casablanca)

I love old movie, music and even fashion. Without them , there will be no tomorrow. That is why oldies are classical. We even can learn a lot from them. They exist before us, they mould our future. That is how the cycle revolves and people must not forget the past. We have to look ahead to move on, but, we must never forget the history. Well, I sound very serious, right? It is a serious matter. Well, I don't recall which date of our local newspaper, a piece of news stated that right now, a survey was conducted to determine whether it is necessary to teach history in primary school.

At first, I was shocked to see such survey was conducted. But, people have to be rational before being judgmental. I realised that nowadays, students are facing enormous amount of homework even in primary school . But, is this reason strong enough to stir up this issue. I would say keep the history if I were the respondent because:

1) We must remember the past to ensure we don't repeat mistake again.
2) We must remember our own cultures.
3) We must remember the contributions of the heroes who set our country free.

Well, this is the three main point I can think of right now. My brain rusted after leaving history for quite some time. But, what I learn is more than history, it instill the awareness of being conscious of my own country. So, leave the history alone. Don't bully history because it told me how Parameswara came to Malacca, how Tunku Abdul Rahman fought for independence, ...


Well, I have gone too far from As Time Goes By, but, as time goes by, we will still remember something very special in our lives, any events like wedding, first-born child. So, even oldies melodies are not going to suit our lives now, they are here to stay to show us and guide us to the path of future.

I really love this song. It is a classical from Casablanca, a historical movie that woo fans around the globe. This movie shows us that even though it is already history, it still impacts different people differently. So, love this song, keep this history.
