One of the reasons why I love the International Urban Sketchers community is that no matter where you are in the world you can always find other urban sketchers to sketch with and make new friends. We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]
Urban Sketching : UWA Perth Up Market
Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]
6 Small Reasons to Love Bali in 4 Short Days
Departing from my regular busy Bali type holiday staying in the more energetic and very commercial and tourist dense Kuta ,we chose to visit a more quieter part of Bali, Sanur (on the recommendation of our neighbour who just returned from a family holiday the day I spoke to him). Some cringe at the mention […]
A Day Trip to the Swan Valley
Gazing across the delightful country style garden under the cerulean blue sky I sat cheerfully like a child, awaiting my order of home baked scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream. The warmth of sun led me to falsely believe it’s Spring, but it’s actually the beginning of Autumn. And this was part of our […]
Interview with Australian Cake Designer and Owner of Cocoa&Spice
I came across Tahlia when she liked one of my food sketches I had posted on Instagram earlier this year. Naturally I was curious to know who my new ‘liker/follower” was, so I checked out her profile and WOW! Her profile was covered with an amazing array of her cakes, cupcakes and delicious looking desserts. […]

But the more I thought […]
Time for a Sandwich
Ice cream sandwiches are just as healthy as regular meat and veggie sandwiches right? I mean they have all the colours of the food groups which by colour definition and ice cream sandwich is very healthy! Well, that’s what I’m saying 🙂 I was first introduced to ice cream sandwiches as a child by my […]
It’s a Deviled Eggs Day
I remember the first time I saw deviled eggs served on a tray at a party. I was only a child at the time. I thought it was quite novel and wondered how long it would have taken to make those individually. It looked amazing (to an newly migrated child from Singapore) but gone in […]
Croissant Anyone?
My French and French Belgian friends tell me in Europe there’s no such thing as a ham and cheese croissant or chocolate croissant. They said it’s an Aussie thing. I have no idea because that’s all I know. I’ve never been to Europe. Well if you consider landing in Stockholm and looking at the window […]
