Doodle of the Day: warm summer days

...ironically, I drew this on a cloudy day spent inside an air-conditioned room because for me, summer hasn't officially started yet. haha. one can dream.

flowy dresses

wheat fields

music

sun

hours of nothing

Won't you be my neighbor?

HEY all you 90's kids out there! Do you remember Mr. Rogers? I didn't watch too much TV growing up but I do remember always watching his show... I think he's so inspirational, and will always be a part of my childhood memories. 

At first I thought this video was a parody... but it's actually a tribute to Mr. Rogers. haha. Watch it and you decide...

Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind?

PHOTO of the DAY: thrifting in HK!

Today, my friend and I were near the Tsim Sha Tsui area and we found a thrift store!! It's the first real one I've been to since coming to Hong Kong (which means I've gone a whole year of my life without stepping into a thrift store...!??!?!?). It was interesting - the styles are quite different from the usual Value Village I frequent in Canada... and this particular store was actually pretty pricey for a thrift store (I guess shopping in Hong Kong is ridiculously cheap to begin with, so the prices at this thrift store were actually around the same price as new clothes!).

Even though I didn't get anything, I had so much fun rummaging through all the racks and lurking around every corner of the store. My friend found a nice DKNY denim button-up shirt for around $15CDN. Hurrah for good deals!

And... here is the photo of the day... of me trying to squeeze through the racks. My arm looks mightily mangled! But I was mightily ecstatic to have a chance to go thrifting! =)



doodle of the day: henna inspirations

Today's doodle is inspired by Indian culture with its bright colours and elaborate henna designs. I'm still hopeful for a little Bollywood infusion when I get married next year! I just love all those colourful suits and saris, and if I had my way, every guest at our wedding would be wearing one. hahaha. even the guys... even the guys.

These pictures were from my good friend's wedding last year... I miss you weirdos!

...indian-inspired doodles...

a typical day at work

It's exam time at the moment which means we've got hundreds of papers to mark... and since we know we're all nearing our impending doom in the form of approaching deadlines (they ARE called DEADlines for a reason...) we cope with the stress by being SILLY. 

This is my desk... well behind this bookshelf (aka. makeshift wall/barrier against the rest of the world). Ironman makes sure that no one intrudes on my personal space.

Today I brought my beloved burger hat to work!

Just like the little red bowtie from yesterday's post, we all took turns posing with the burger. I love how all the coworkers in my department are such GOOD SPORTS when it comes to stuff like this. hahaha.
