Hi, Dad!

2010-08-22T00:03:00.000-07:00

I miss Fuji mountain in Japan, it was really beautiful, I think it will be awesome if Fuji has a son here in Vancouver.

Robert likes the girl.

2010-08-16T11:46:00.000-07:00

I seriously need a drink.

sick me.

2010-08-16T11:40:00.000-07:00

I have been sick for more than 3 weeks...I think its 4 weeks now, 4 weeks!!! Can't believe it, I can't go to hot yoga, I can't drink wine, I can't drink cold stuff, I can't eat sugary food (even though I can't taste nothing but I would still like to have the option), fever is gone, I am feeling a little better but still coughing a lot, if I collect my snob, it will probably be a litter.

family.

2010-08-04T23:51:00.000-07:00

Don't ask me how they had babies :p

kids

2010-08-04T23:47:00.000-07:00

I feel like I am becoming a crazy cat lady, it's not the best description about me but I enjoy it.

this unbrella is not big enough.

2010-08-04T23:45:00.000-07:00

trying out my first drawing on panel, it feels fancy.

trees chatting

2010-08-04T23:40:00.001-07:00

my pencil is thinking "when will I be sharpened?"
my coffee is thinking "I need more cream to look better"
my cats are thinking "zzzzzzzzzz..........."

everything/everyone has thoughts, everything/everyone should be respected.

2010-07-29T15:25:00.000-07:00

Are you itchy? I am itchy.

woah!

2010-07-28T12:37:00.001-07:00

2010-02-17T20:18:00.000-08:00

I kicked my toe on Charley Harper's hard cover book, it hurts like crazy, luckily, my book wasn't damaged.
I ate lots of fruit loops today, I am feeling very sugary and colorful.

Terrarium.

2010-02-16T22:41:00.000-08:00

This is my Valentine's gift, I love it! It's nice to receive something that handmade, especially by someone you love.
I am full now, I had too much late night snack.....

Happy valentines!

2010-02-14T00:49:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines everyone, also, today is Chinese new year! It's a tiger year! Roaarrrrrrrrrrr.
This is our fourth year together, and we dont usually have crazy plans on valentines, I remember our first.....it was couply days after I become his girlfriend and we bought a family pack from KFC....that was good, comfortable and satisfied....hehe....
I phoned back Taiwan to wish my family a happy new year, I was a little worried since my grandfather just passed away not long ago, but everyone seems happy so I am glad, and we do miss him a lot.

empty

2010-01-11T02:20:00.001-08:00

I am feeling empty, I think it might be the poor social skills I have......not so sure what to do with it.

hmn?

2010-01-10T00:12:00.001-08:00

doesn't dudu look cute, hohhooohoo!

Yes, dudu you are very cool.

hello 2010!

2010-01-10T00:07:00.000-08:00

I bought kids new toy, and finally start to feel some positivity after crappy 2009, so hello 2010!

soo cold I can't feel my fingers.

2010-01-07T22:03:00.000-08:00

Today is a colorful day :D

☁

2010-01-06T17:15:00.001-08:00

I went out to look for some hooks today, but I couldn't find anything I like so I am a bit sad :( and then I made chicken rice for myself for dinner, now I am full and happy :)

wooo~ doesn't dudu look handsome here?

☁

2010-01-05T22:03:00.000-08:00

I dressed weird today, so I couldn't stay out for too long.

kotaro has arrived!

2010-01-04T22:39:00.000-08:00

Today is such an awesome day because I got my new camera, I am still learning all the settings and the program, wo, it's been a while since I really have my own camera, I am really excited, wohoo(I have been using my iphone camera...)!
I will take a lot more photos from now yay!

oh, I named my camera Kotaro(小太郎).

impressive

2009-12-29T22:56:00.001-08:00

I wish our home could be built like this :)

winter is too cold.

2009-12-28T20:47:00.001-08:00

It's too cold to go out this holiday. I chose to stay with my cats.

oh and we made a little tree.

2009-12-22T22:28:00.000-08:00

wohoo! happy holiday!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-22T22:09:00.000-08:00

Mooo~I am finally starting posting something again, I went back to Taiwan to be with family for a bit, it was nice to see everyone back home, I wish I could go back to visit more often.
The first thing I did after I got back from the trip was to unpack many many boxes at our new home, tiring and with pretty extreme jet lag, that was painful...oh, and pimples from lack of sleep, sigh...mooo~

furniture window shopping.

2009-10-05T13:06:00.000-07:00

We went for window shopping for furniture yesterday, it was fun and it is hard to stay in our budget. I hope we can move out from our rent apt downtown soon to the new lovely neighborhood asap, I can't wait!

Jones soda gives me energy

2009-09-24T16:05:00.001-07:00

Pius had root beer and I had red apple.

oh dudu you are so handsome.

2009-09-16T15:38:00.001-07:00

Our 2 cats have different ways of telling us that they want our attention. dudu basically is the king of the house(he thinks), so he won't just come tell you directly that he misses you, instead, he will go in front of you pretend he doesn't know you are there and just lay right in front of you hoping you can give him a nice hug. Mui-mui will play hide and seek, the thing is she will tell you where she is, either by calling us(meow meow meow)or expose part of her body when shes hiding.

self - portrait.

2009-09-16T15:33:00.000-07:00

I guess I can't really explain this self-portrait, or deep in mind, I don't really want to know myself.

Dangerous existance

2009-09-08T11:37:00.000-07:00

I wish I am stronger.

grandpa.

2009-09-03T12:29:00.000-07:00

My grandpa has been very ill these couple weeks, he has leukemia and the chemotherapy had made him lost the abilities to talk and remember things. I am sad that I have not been there for him for the past 6 years, It is hard to study abroad without being with the family......

the most valuable junk.

2009-09-03T11:54:00.000-07:00

lovely cheeks

2009-08-24T11:16:00.000-07:00

I did a drawing with few friends, we take turns assign a title and finish it in a week, this week is Matching which means 登對 in Chinese, it was hard, but I had fun making it.
oh! Mine is "matching cheeks in winter" haha :p
let me know what you think! You can also view other drawings here

mui-mui is a very polite cat.

2009-08-18T22:51:00.001-07:00

mui-mui is a very polite girl, if you want to pet her, you need to be very very gentle or she will turn around because she might think you are rude.

p.s: I hope I am not boring you with my cats posts, but I just can't help it :p

dude-dude's new toy.

2009-08-18T16:52:00.000-07:00

We received a package of cat toy from Sunny, dude-dude likes this giant lobster(or is it a shrimp?), we put it around his sleeping spot and he would hold him while sleeping, it is very cute :)

first step.

2009-08-16T02:55:00.000-07:00

I made some postcard and I upload them to my etsy shop, I am very nervous because this is first time I put my cards on etsy! There will be more items added to my shop soon, I was pretty struggling with my bio section on etsy due to my poor English communication skill, so I suggested Pius that we had little competition of writing our own bio in 20 mins, it's hard, seriously, and this is what I came out with:
"I am a 27 year old illustrator who lives in Vancouver, I came from a big family in Taiwan.

I enjoy drawing things that come from my mind, sometimes they are not very understandable, but I enjoy it anyways. I also like to take short walks and eating seafood.

There are many things can inspire me, like the bubbles in my bathtub, the sound of wrinkle paper, garbage I found on the street or even a little tomato in the dirt. I believe everything has their way of living, kinda like us.

I hope my drawings can make you have a 3 second smile, and if it does, please come back and visit me again :)"

hope you have a great day!

down.

2009-08-05T10:17:00.000-07:00

I have been really sick these days, I cant really speak or do anything because I bit my own tongue too hard and now I have 5 huge holes in my mouth.
It's so painful that makes me cry, I have so much things to do and I couldnt finish them because this pain, I wish I will get well soon, sitting at home and suffering is one of the worst feeling, but I know I have to fight for it.
looking at dude-dude's pic make me smile, he thought no one could see him under the pile of laundry, he would feel hurtful if I told him his hiding failed.....

The power of global warming.

2009-07-31T21:23:00.001-07:00

This summer has been the hottest summer in Vancouver, we tried to get an air-con, but it's all sold out everywhere! I can't stand the heat, its soooooo hot, I have a fan in front of me but its all hot hot hot wind, I worry about my 2 cats can't take the heat since dude-dude has very heavy coat and mui-mui is a long hair, so I froze some water bottles for them to keep them cool, I place it near their fav spot at house and they just stay there whole day!

It's really hot!

2009-07-28T09:34:00.001-07:00

For the past week, Vancouver's weather is crazy hot, we don't have an air-con at home, so I have 2 fans on when we sleep, my 2 cats can barely handle the heat, they always have their tummy facing up in the air, it looks really funny.
I made some postcards, hope you enjoy!

my little work desk

2009-07-16T16:14:00.000-07:00

Here is my little work place at home.I try to keep it neat so my cats won't eat any weird stuff I use for drawing.
Today is such a nice hot day, It's very hard to sit in front of the desk for hours, I am currently making some postcards, I will post them up as soon as I finished.

potato says hi

2009-07-13T23:32:00.000-07:00

2009-07-07T14:56:00.000-07:00

Nice photo taken by talented Pius :)

Why am I farting rainbow?

2009-07-06T22:02:00.000-07:00

It's a rainy day, I made a little drawing for it.

Almost.

2009-07-01T21:19:00.000-07:00

And then made a little drawing, enjoy!

2009-06-09T13:58:00.000-07:00

New drawing in progress.....I had a cup of milk and I don't know why I put my orange juice in it, now I feel like I am a cow, and I had a cup of orange juice when I am full with my own milk. Interesting.

mui-mui.

2009-06-09T09:54:00.000-07:00

me and mui-mui hold hand :)

Poking ass loris.

2009-06-07T17:15:00.000-07:00

Finally finished the drawing I was working on the whole weekend,
Although I did get very lazy on Saturday :p

I have to admit, I do like to poke dude-dude's ass, he doesn't really like it....

hmm, 5:18....time for dinner!!

I wish everyone have a nice Sunday dinner :)

nice weekend.

2009-06-07T17:10:00.000-07:00

The weather is so nice this weekend, hot, very hot. We bought 2 fans at once, even dude-dude enjoys it!

hello!

2009-06-04T14:10:00.000-07:00

Hopefully I can get my website up soon!

Owl Owl for Laura.

2009-06-01T14:37:00.000-07:00

My friend Laura needs an owl, she said there are pigeons outside of her room.
Hopefully this will scare them away.

favorited?

2009-05-26T23:37:00.000-07:00

I owe Pius 2 posters, but forgive me about my poor English communication skill, can't even have the grammar right....

the kid.

2009-05-19T22:09:00.000-07:00

If we could stay at 5 year old age, it will be a much simpler thing, no, actually I will say around 10 year old. No worries( I used to worry I have to eat veggie at dinner), no nothing, If my cats told me they are stressed, I will have them showered every night :p.

Fit's

2009-05-03T23:01:00.000-07:00

My sister sent me this funny gum commercial from Japan, I am such a big fan of these funny ads, and yes, I will buy their product.

Got craft?

2009-05-03T22:52:00.000-07:00

We went to this Gotcraft handmade market on commercial dr. and it was a lot of fun! Pius bought me this adorable rabbit, I put her on my desk and she makes me smile :)

handsome cat.

2009-04-28T22:43:00.001-07:00

This guy showed up on my cats' cat tree last Friday, I don't know who he was, but he seems to have a bit of human face features with a cat body, I hope he will come visit again (in a friendly way) so I could ask him about his name :)

2009-04-28T15:42:00.000-07:00
