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 […]
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. […]
Sugar Candy Day
When I was thinking about what to sketch for Sugar Candies day, I immediately thought of Super Lemons (the horrid individually wrapped lollies coated with a super ultra sour lemon taste, actually it’s not even a taste, more like a horrid sensation and invasion of my happy unviolated taste buds. 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 […]
Yum Cha Urban Sketchers Perth Sketch “Eat”
Us Urban Sketchers need to eat too! We thought we’d try something different this time and organise a “sketch eat” . Some sketchers had never tried yum cha before and quite a few follow me on facebook and often see my foodie posts of me and my parents. I picked my favourite yum cha restaurant , […]
Good Fortune with My Mum & Dad
I take my elderly parents out to lunch once a week during the weekdays and a day on the weekend. I say lunch but it’s usually an entire day of activities for them. It’s about creating memories and moments for them. Both mum and dad are open to any cuisine but because of their Singaporean […]
