Halloween Sketches, these are in fact some of my greatest sketches so far. Been struggling my super brain for days to comes up with these awesome (I hope so) so-called halloween sketches. Most of my sketches are drawn before bedtime, most of it is my own imaginations except for sketches no.5, it was based on someone else drawing while I was doing some of researches...
Have a look at it closely, and please do not hesitate to give any comment on some of these sketches because your comment would be much appreciated.

Power Of Silence
Music means a lot to me, almost everyday I couldn't possibly resist listening to music, even I'm driving or even before my bedtime or whenever I'm blogging, I just need some music...as we all know music have it's own healing power.
There is this article I read and I would like to share...
The Power Of Silence,
When we really listen to music we are brought into an attentive present, into an attitude of openness and receptiveness and a non-judgemental space. This can change how we listen to ourselves and to others and we can re-learn to listen with innocence, as a small child does, and as we did before criticism taught us to listen defensively.
Listening can make us aware of the power of silence. The silence of rhythmic rests and the silence of the ‘breath’ between phrases are similar to the ‘gap’, the space between thoughts when we are able to centre down and quieten the mind in meditation.
Evidence shows that listening to appropriate music lowers BP, stabilizes heart rate, relieves depression, reduces pre-treatment anxiety, enhances concentration and creativity, lessens the need for sedatives and painkillers (during and after surgery), reduces nausea after chemotherapy, manages pain and also improves stability of people with Parkinson disease.
Well apart from that, another reason why I love listening to music is because whenever I listened to some old songs that make me reminiscenes some of my past. Remembered one of those days when we were in our high school final some of us used to have this little autograph book where is circulated among friends to jot down some crappy notes and girls like to pen it down what kind of musics they preferred. Sometimes by knowing what kind of music someone likes tell us what kind of character and personality they are.

If birds could talk
Almost everyone of us having difficulty breathing these days due to the haze. I'm recovering from a very bad flu and cough. I have been seeing the doctor very frequently the whole month due to my sickness...
As I was gazing out of the balcony smoking the other day on the 12th floor, the visibility is pretty bad, the whole sky is so clouded with haze, I saw birds flying around. Then it keeps me wondering how do these birds survive thru these bad weather...do they have the same problems that I'm facing the whole month coughing badly and a nose blockage, do birds get FLU? oooh ya they got bird flu right....
:p (it's meant to be a joke ya) ...
and btw do birds need any cough drop to soothe their throat and some expectorant (some cough medicine for expelling the phlegm) oooh oooh i got it if the birds doesn't need this then maybe the worms might need it then. You see when these worms consume some expectorant and when they have got eaten by these birds automatically they will be spitted out and got their lives save... don't you agree with me, or maybe do u think they need our assistance in helping them putting on a mask so that they could fly around happily.
So if birds could really talk what's the first thing do you think these birds would probably say or who will they be complaining to about these matter because eventually we will be experiencing the same kind of problem next year... Too many questions comes into mind these days maybe it's because too much of those antibiotics...

Whale Vomit
I was in the office yesterday, when some of my colleagues was gathering around talking, mostly crap but out of a sudden, Mr Incredible (one of them) say something about whale vomit. According to him he say that when this particular whale vomit, the vomit is used in perfume production. Then Mr. bom pi pi no.1 (another of my colleague) and I bursted out in laughter because it's sound a bit unbelievable and we doubted Mr Incredible 's have such good general knowledge on animal.

Then today as I was surfing the net checking on this issue and I found out that apparently what Mr Incredible have said is absolutely true. The waxy substance known as "ambergris" or "vomit" has a scent that is used in making perfumes so that the scent can last longer or as an "Aphrodisiac" too.

Occasionally ambergris is a soft, foul-smelling waste matter that floats on the ocean. But years of exposure to the sun and the salt water of the ocean transform the waste into a smooth, lump of rock that boasts a waxy feel and a sweet, alluring smell. Something I found quite interesting to share, to find out more please check on the google.

When I was in Paris
Many people feel that Paris was a romantic city but to me it isn't felt that way...To me Paris is a place where you find most people dressing up fashionably and everywhere I go there are great architectural's buildings and design oriented. Every single moment something caught my attention from galleries up to sculptures exhibiions which are open to public, and even out of no where there are sculptures just around the park. According to most of my friends that have been to Paris say it was a nice place to be but to me, well I have been here seen most of the things by myself, their Metro (as in LRT, MRT, or Underground what-so-ever-you-call-it) it's damn dirty and have been vandalized badly.
Well, the most recognizable place in Paris is definitely the Eiffel Tower...
Some close up for your viewing pleasures...
My brother and I...
Musée du Louvre
Wow, this is the BEST place to be in Paris... to me it's even better than the Eiffel Tower, this specially designed pyramid is totally cool and definitely the greatest...
My one and only little brother...
My lovely parent...
Check out this place isn't this beautiful or what...or maybe it's just my photography skills...ahem
Well, let's checkout on the inside...
ooooh the reversible pyramid... gosh still haven't got the time to watch the movie yet, damn pai seh....
oooh another close up...
Below are some of the famous sculptures but kinda lazy to look into the brochures and to name it here one by one so too bad....
Well this is the reason why I came to this musuem, just to have a look at the painting myself with my own eyes, and before entering there are signs everywhere saying "PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY PICTURES OR EVEN VIDEO TAKING IS PROHIBITED HERE" but damn lots of Mother F***** are taking a photos of this painting so I wouldn't care much but to do the same... hahaha "PLEASE BARE THIS IN MIND, I'M DOING THIS FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE YA SO WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY"...
The ORI of Mona Lisa... believe it or not! :p
After seeing this, there are not much excitements anymore to hang around because mostly are the Italian paintings and the worst things is this place is a non-air-conditioned, damn stuffy and it's crowded in here. So my brother and I just leaved that place...
Some great sculptures I saw as I was walking around some of the park...
These pictures are great, and again it's all fully taken professionally by Superbaby himself...enjoy!
