memo
 I just wanted to see how my imflamation is recovering,
so this morning I took milk coffee for the first time in
the past few years.

Ok, so the bottom line is it is not so good yet.
After couple of hours now I'm having the bloating, berp like toad and
a bit dizzy.

So I drank honey to salvage myself, and I hope this works, yah, already feeling
better now.  Luckily, my work wouldn't start until 11am. Heewww.


Ok, ok, next time when I do this experiment, I will do it on weekends!! 
hahaha!  :-)
(^o^)



Now, I'm working on spiral 5 and mangrove tree in fabric.
Hope to get started on some pangolin drawings soon!!
Ohhh i really want to see my idol scaley animal some day....

コメント:なぜか子どもに人気。

この本のレビューをするためにアマゾンで「豆の木」をキーワードに検索したらワンサカワンサカといろんな方のいろんなジャックが出てきた。(^^;

早い話がパロディーえほん。
でも!この本はただの「ジャックと豆の木」ではございませぬ。
しかもジャックですらない。
「ケイト」って女の子と「豆の木」なのだ!!!

これを書いた作者の違うシリーズが面白くて(次にレビューしよう)2冊目を買ったところ、
身内が同じくレジに持ってきたのがこの本。


ジャックと豆の木はここでレビューもしたし、子どもも読んでストーリーを把握している。
その違いを読んで楽しむのが面白いのかしら?

じゃあ、先にこの本を読んでいたら?とか考えると面白い。


それにしても挿絵がねぇ、味わいのあるえだよねぇー。
私はちょっと引いたが、子どもは結構読み返してる。なぞだぁな。

ちなみにもう一冊「スリーピング・ボブ」(眠れる森の王子?)も買ってたり。

Raleigh International
 Yesterday, I went to Sabah museum around lunch time.
I really get interested in local ethnic motifs, so first I went to the
museum shop to see if any motif reference. It wasn't there, but instead
I found 2 folk lore and sepat takrow book with weaving instruction, and 
and colonial archetecture book showing some of the few are still standing.

Then I spent about an hour to
see the displays and do rough sketch, a really rough one.

The main purpose of visiting to museum yesterday was to join the banner project
"12A" by Raeligh International.
They went around 4 villages for villagers to draw their own expression in 1 big and long banner. Its a fantastic collaboration.

Our artist job, which we were invited, was to help each images to blend together and finish it up.  There were many white and smudges and all the images were quite independant. 

With 5 other Sabah artists, we heard the briefing and got started on it.
Its still not done yet, will be there for 1 week. 
I might go in this Saturday again.

-------------

For today, I go to Jeniffers office in wisma budaya to settle 1 thing, then go to look for Jam right next to wisma budaya, theres aritst huts.

Went to the yearly meeting of PSVS
 At Sabah state gallery surrounded by the invitational artists exhibition, I attended to the yearly meeting.

I loved it!! I met my artist friends, had some laugh, chit-chat, knew new people,
and I got so excited!!!

Also there were a outsider doing a project involving villagers and us to do
huge 40 feet painting collaboration.
I will go again tomorrow 2pm to find out!


By the way, I found out that my spiral and pangolin spiral were bought by European artist! 
Thank you Mr. Yang!

Invitational artists exhibition 2012 in Sabah, Malaysia
 It opened yesterday for 1 month at Sabah state gallery in kota kinabalu.
For the opening, I didn't join due to reduce my stress, related to inflamation.
My stress is mainly caused by time concerning matters.
Dead line, appointment and promise.... so I will withdraw my art creating for this year to take things easy and relax.  Well, of course I want to get back on track as soon as I am fully recovered!!
I can't wait!!

まだまだ十二指腸潰瘍継続中〜。
時間を気にするとお腹がポワッと大きくなってゲップやらなにやらになやまされるけど、
随分良くなってきたのだよ!去年の9月に比べると半分以下!

腸の壁を癒してくれるらしいキャベツ。
ジュースはかなり無理そうなので、
気負いのなく毎朝葉っぱを2枚はがして千切りにして胡麻ドレッシングをかけて食べてるけど、
日本から持ってきたんだよねー、なくなったら何かけて食べようか・・・。ううう。
中華ドレッシングなら作れそう。ちなみにキャベツはここ数週間で3玉目。早いのか遅いのか・・・。

それからハニードリンク。何のてらいもない、ハチミツを水に溶かした代物を
一日過ごす仕事場において水分補給。
これにレモンでも絞ろうかな。ハチ〇ツレモンになるのか?!

あとはヨーグルト。なるべく毎日食べるようにしてる。

薬も医薬品?を毎日服用中。
そういえば、日本の薬局で手に入ったダイイチサンなんとかって会社の胃腸の薬がかなりよかったな。
また今度身内が遊びに来るときに大量に持ってきてもらいたいっす。

早く治して絵を描きたい!型紙作って立体つくりたいっす!

No art, no life!
 仕事もやって、お母さんとしても、妻としても、そして自分自身にも時間を持てる人がいるけど、本当に尊敬するなぁ。

私にはキャパが2つしかないみたい。
いま仕事も家庭もそして制作もしたいけど、キャパが2つしかないから無理が出たんだと思う。
本当に器が小さいなぁと最近つくづく思う。

去年かおととしから少しずつ、もしかするともっと前からかもしれないけれど。
