Tuesday Sketch Over Lunch

Waiting at Doctor's Office

My doctor was late this morning, so I got a chance to sketch his waiting room.

Louboutin Shoes 2

那些年,我們一起追的女孩

This 2011 Taiwanese film gave me a chance to indulge in the nostalgic mood for a couple of days.

Louboutin Shoes Exhibit

I'm not too crazy about shoes, especially those stiletto high heels, but the Christian Louboutin shoe exhibit totally engrossed and inspired me. They're not just shoes; they're pieces of art and craftsmanship.

Birthday Card

Made a birthday card last night with ink and watercolour.

Tuesday Sketch Over Lunch Session

Dan and I decided to do sketches together every Tuesday over lunch. We started 3 weeks ago. Today I offered the idea of drawing my stress toy and my straw hat, and then putting them together.

Monk

A powerful image I saw in a magazine.

Hu Xia

Have been listening to the theme song from the critic acclaimed Taiwanese movie You Are the Apple of My Eye. Such a beautiful song. The singer behind the song, Hu Xia, is a young, talented guy hailing from southern China.

Bosie

Was reading an online posting celebrating the life of Oscar Wilde, my favourite writer of all time. Then I started searching Bosie, aka Lord Alfred Douglas. He did have an exquisite look.

Vintage Calculator

Went to the Parkdale Flea on Sunday and spotted lots of fun stuff, including this vintage calculator from the 1940s. The amazing thing is I tried it and it was still working!

And More Classmates

High School Classmates

Recently got reconnected with my high school classmates on We Chat, an app that allows group messaging. Most of them have their kids as their profile pictures, but there are still a few who dared to post their own photos. So I got to see what they look like now. Oh we're all aging well!

Nadège Patisserie

Spent a decadently indulging afternoon with Lynn: a lovely lunch at Swan, coffee at the White Squirrel coffee shop, and eventually some pastries at the litte cute French pastry place called Nadege. The pastries look excessively delicate and taste just as wonderful. Sweet sweet memories!
