Sketching at Kampong Glam
Yesterday was a scotching hot day at Kampong Glam. Even my phone was displaying warning sign that temperature was at dangerous level. I added some darker areas after the show and tell to bring out the shades and shadows under this hot weather.
Interestingly, there was a zero shadow phenomena that day at 1:11pm. Very close to the time we took our group photo. Details on zero shadow phenomena here.
Next Saturday, we are going to Wisma Geylang Serai to soak in the festive atmosphere for our official March Sketchwalk.

Bali Connection
So when we two older folks took the villa transport to a local shopping mall, the driver brought us to Bali Connection which was obviously meant for tourists! I made do and did a sketch of the temple inside the mall under the big tree although the weather was really hot and humid.

Bali Trip
It was a vacation with just swmimming, idling, reading, doodling, eating and sleeping inside the villa. My husband and I managed to take the hotel car to the near-by retail compound called Bali Collection which was very obviously targetting at global and domestic tourist. Not a complaint as it was truly a relaxing vacation even under the scotching hot and very humid weather.
This was also my last ink doodle in the Nude Sketchbook which I started inking again last Monday. Total 8 days of ink doodling.

We are off to BALI
We arrived in Bali around 2pm and there was a big traffic jam from the airport to the hotel. It was a surprise to see Ogoh-Ogoh parade in preparation by the roadside. We could see several big sculptures of various monsters and creatures. Ogoh-Ogoh parade happend at the eve of Nyepi, the day of silence for the Balinese.

Early Birthday Lunch at Meet for Meat
He always wanted to try this 'Meet 4 Meat' outlet for their Wellington beef so we had it at their food stall at a local coffee shop along East Coast Road. It happended to be their last few weeks of operation and they would move out at the end of the month. They will still be operating at the other stall at Ubi.
Happy Birthday son.

First wood firing of the year
When I left the dragon kiln at around 12:30am, the temperature was 350 deg C right on target. We are going to fire 48 hours for the very first time with our guest potter, Remo Mamaril from Canada who will be leaving on 21 March. So this close 48-hour wood firing is specially conducted with him around. We plan to upload the pieces from the dragon belly on Saturday, 16 Mar 2024.
May the Kiln God be nice to us.

The Eras Tour
I was at Rasapura Food Court of Marina Bay Sands for my afternoon coffee break I found myself soaking in the swiftie atmosphere.
So many young people in Taylor Swift-inspired outfit and it was so easy to spot the guy with a bling bling top.
