Creating Art
Art is more than just a hobby for me, it’s an integral part woven into the fabric of my life- shaping my past, present and the future. It has served as a conduit for relaxation, creativity and gifted me an excellent skill to apply in all aspects of my life.
I’ve explored many art mediums and materials such as pencil, crayon, oil pastels, watercolour, acrylic, oil paint, collage, glass, wood, leather and so on. And, I continue to push my boundaries and expand my knowledge and passion for art everyday.
Book are a rare insight and exploration of thoughts that you’d never had before or similar experiences you never would’ve expected to have in common with fictional characters or not-so-fictional authors.
My love for books started with my maternal grandpa’s collection of comics which my mom inherited and the wonderful works of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys book series.
And to this day, I continue to discover new genres and works to immerse myself into and experience the unique tides of words, knowledge and emotions in the ocean of literature.
Reading Books
Gardening
I grew up surrounded my nature, which served as my source of joy, relaxation and comfort, an evergreen muse for my art/culinary experiments and an inspiration to learn more about the world around me.
I love nurturing my own garden and I spend quality time everyday digging, planting, pruning, watering and enriching my plants that also serve as a wonderful way to unwind amidst hectic work days and stressful study schedules.
Cooking
My love for cooking stems from my love for eating- because who understands how food evokes emotions, transports you to different cultures and brings people together better than a self-crowned foodie?
Not only do I enjoy creating delicious dishes, I also take pride in experimenting with new recipes and sourcing quality ingredients (especially if it’s from my own garden) and presenting them as beautiful showstoppers at the dinner table- making it a memorable experience for family, friends and loved ones as we enjoy bonding and spending time together with a healthy dose of food critiquing.
