Jaywalkers now in bangkok will be fined 200 Baht. Cars and motorists who failed to stop at zebra crossing if there are people waiting to cross, will be fined up to 1000 baht.

feels like what people used to bribe the police is no longer enough . . .

Shaquille Oneal joins Lebron James

mixed media. 2009. © twahc.

Fans from Cleveland are thrilled to have Shaquille Oneal to assist King Lebron James to win a championship next season. Cleveland traded Sasha Pavlovic, Ben Wallace and the 46th pick to Phoenix for Shaquille O'Neal.

Oneal, wearing jersey No. 33 next season, needs to step up otherwise it'll be a waste of money for the Cavaliers to pay him not to get a championship (or get to the Finals).

Will Shaq pledge to bring a championship to Cleveland? We'll see about that.

the jade found by our tour guide who gave it to us to make pendants for later on
-
we were brought to this small factory/workshop called Taiwan Jade. the father who was incharge of the workshop gave us a basic introduction of Taiwanese jade and showed us the procedure of making our own jade pendants. the jade was cut into a few simple shapes for us to grind and polish (while we were not professional to deal with other steps, his sons help us with some steps like cuting, drilling, etc)

before our new house was done, my brother requested a personalised book shelf from me. i drew the design based on typical shelves used in comic shops in taiwan. after the rough layout was done, i passed the design to the contractor to finish it off. the contractor did a great job and now my brother does not need to worry where he needs to store his mass collection of comics.

About SCYA:

Singapore Contemporary Young Artists aims to gather and promote talented young practicing artists whose works show potential for recognition.

The first round of 23 artists selected represent a continuity of their practice as well as work in the art of the time. They could be dealing with pop-culture, identity, religion, history, sexuality, multiculturalism, globalisation, new-media technology, bio-engineering and even AIDS awareness in forms of painting, installation, printmaking, sculptures, drawings, performance art, multimedia formats and text.

SCYA aims to first complete a detailed website containing links and collaborations with various government constituencies, educational institutions and art communities, following after a curated exhibition of promising Young Artists in 2009 and eventually produce a publication in 2010-11 to mark a generation of Singapore’s Contemporary Young Artists.

SCYA projects are currently run by Jacklyn Soo and Sabrina Koh.

Project is kindly funded by National Arts Council

Are the citizens filling the smiles in this piece of land or is it that it has always been the people incharge(d) smiling?

ideas for SYCA project

Wow. That must be Art.

2008-10-10T09:28:00.004+07:00

What is Art?

It does not seem to matter especially to those who think Art is not associated in their daily lives and to those, who does not take any effort to know more about Art.

To the majority, as long as 'something' can not be categorized or understood by the masses, the 'something' is called work of art.

There are definitions/opinions/theories/bullsh*ts on what is Art, however there seem to be no absolute answer (atleast for now) on what Art is. Perhaps, if Art is so easily defined, Art would be insignificant.

Is merely a painting/drawing/sculpture/illustrations/cute things/appeals to the masses recognized as Art?

or

Is 'I am a friend of this great/famous artist' makes the person another great artist?

or

as long as 'something' is expensive or limited edition (does not matter limited to how many pieces in the world), they are art?

or

Is it something that can not be categorized and understood by the masses, is Art?

-

"Hey, what is that?"

"Wow. That must be Art."

Puff, a quiet guy sells seafood at the morning market. He used to work as a fisherman with his fishing team. He rarely mingles with others but is a very good catcher. One day, he decided to quit his fishing job, and decided to sell seafood instead. Pan-Da, who sells sugarcane beside Puff's stall, knows Puff quite well. Puff always jokes, "Selling fishes is less dangerous than catching them." Whenever Puff 's seafood sold out on the day, he would go to a nearby cafe to enjoy his favorite drink, soya milk and observe the passersby. No one knows where he is from and where he lives.

what's behind Pan-Da's back

2008-07-26T12:22:00.006+07:00

Although Pan-Da looks huge and mean, he is kind and friendly. His friends and his customers all know him as a family man. He works very hard during the day at the market and works part-time at a nearby petrol station to his home. He has a lovely wife and a 3 month old daughter. Those who just met him will always ask him why he has gate gods tattooed on his back. Every time he just smile and say, "They protect my family."

There is a secret Pan-Da never mention to anyone. His parents lost their lives to some street gangsters while they were taking a stroll after dinner. That's why Pan-Da got the tattoo, to protect his family from losing them again and sometimes to scare the gangsters off with his tattoo.
