April 2013

I went to Hong Kong a few weeks ago with my family and I had a really good time. Spent most days eating, walking around, chilling out, eating and some more eating… Anyway, I went to some interviews and they all sounded pretty positive. I decided to take up teaching positions (teaching English as a foreign language to kindergartens) because Hong Kong offers very good opportunities for teaching.

I’m hoping to make the big move in August- exciting! I thought it was time to stop talking about it and just get on with it, you know? There are somethings worth taking the risk for, and why not. When I set my mind to something I’ll do it, I’ve always been a very determined person. Especially since a lot of my friends have gone travelling or moved to a different country , I thought it was time to set myself a challenge and just get out there with no inhibitions. There is nothing worse than looking at the past and regretting not doing something for whatever reason. Even my parents have been very encouraging!

I’m very bored with living and working in London. I don’t find it that exciting anymore. I’m also very bored of the daily grind too. Once upon a time when I was a student it was pretty fun going on trips to museums and drinking myself silly at nightclubs, that bubble has burst and I want to get out of it.

There’s something about Hong Kong that has a buzz to it, especially during the night time. I was literally having a Lost in Translation moment; even though I’ve been there, like, 10 times. I think I need to get away from London for a while and come back with a fresh start otherwise it’s going to suck me dry!

 

House Tai O The Old and the New

Howdy folks! How are you all? Sorry for the belated blog posts, I’ve been pretty busy at work and so I’ve not had much time to do any illustrations or blog about anything- boo!

On a rather exciting note, I’m part of an exhibition run by the O3 Gallery in Oxford. On These Magic Shores features various contemporary illustrators from different disciplines and backgrounds, making their own visual interpretation of folklores and fairytales. I have illustrated a very popular fairytale although all will be revealed very soon!

If you’re around Oxford please pop along to the exhibition and see some amazing artwork!
