Probably the Best Caricaturist in Singapore

Jit Leong was telling me last week he would be involved in an event at Marina Square on 20 and 27 dec. As we were not in town last week, so decided to bring the family down to give him some support - and get some caricatures done for free at the same time :p (by the way, his fees aren't cheap ! but it's worth it)

Since he would only be there from 3pm, we went for lunch first, before walking slowing around to look for him (he told me the event organiser placed him in a secluded corner). When we found him, he was probably just setting up stall and since everyone was just 'looking and seeing' we just plonked Jaslynn and Justin onto the seats to start the ball rolling.










The kids were shy at first, even though they've went to Uncle Jit Leong's house a few times to play with 嘉乐 and 嘉喜. They warmed up pretty quickly and soon 'smiled' for Uncle Jit Leong to draw them some nice caricatures.


Justin had to keep his 'smile' on for quite a while.


Then it was Jaslynn's turn, giving her usual 'smile'.


Finally done and they were quick to spot the nearby 'playground' at Kiddy Palace.


What a waste Jaslynn did not flash this smile earlier.




While waiting for their caricatures to dry, they chanced upon some animal kiddy rides, and Justin also took the opportunity to display some of his moves while on the move.


All done !

全家福 - Happy Family Portrait

Jaslynn went over to her 姑姐's (Aunty) house for sleep over sometime last month. As usual, she would ask for some paper and start drawing.

This time, Jaslynn drew a 全家福 (family portrait).

Where did I go today?

Justin was working on his secret project when he noticed that his sister Jaslynn was not around. Justin turned on his secret spying machine and saw this on his screen.

Do you know where did Jaslynn go today?

Happy Birthday Mar Mar !

Jaslynn drew a lovely card for her 奶奶's (Grandmother) birthday. It was just a simple drawing of a heart on the outside of the card.

Inside the card, she thanked her granny for all the wonderful things her granny has done for her.



We then went to the NUSS' guild house at Suntec City for a sumptuous dinner. The restaurant had a nice interior decor and ambiance.


Wendy ordered the German set dinner. The starter was smoked salmon on cream cheese?


I ordered the oyster shooters for a start. The shooters came in 3 flavours - wasabi, thai chili and 1 more which I couldn't remember.


爷爷 (Grandfather) had the fried hokkien noodles. I think the squid and prawns look very yummy!


The kids shared their favourite hor fun (rice flat noodles).


Wifey had the fried 面线 (rice vermicelli) which also look very appetising.


I had the New Zealand tenderloin (medium done), which came with a glass of Chilean Cabernet Savignon. The last time I had a Chilean red was more than 10 years ago and I had a phobia for Chilean wine ever since.

But this one was quite good. Didn't know it was Chilean until I saw the bottle near the entrance of the restuarant.


Then we were off to the karaoke with our 2 resident talents to start the ball rolling !




Of course, not forgetting the main event !

The cake were made with layers of crepe and chocolate in between.


The 4 Grands !

Happy Fathers' Day 2008 !!

Jaslynn wishes all the fathers a Happy Fathers' Day !! Jaslynn also drew me a Fathers' Day card.






Inside the card, Jaslynn drew lots of my favourites.

What shall I wear ?

Jaslynn was wondering which dress she should wear for her 太婆's (Great Grandmother) brirthday celebration dinner this Sunday. She thought about it for a long time, before drawing what she wanted to wear on a piece of paper.
Quite a lovely design right?
Looks even better with colours!



The finished product. Actually, this wasn't Jaslynn's design at all. Just that she wanted to wear the dress that she wore during Chinese New Year, and I couldn't remember which one it was. So she drew it out and showed me.

She even has a necklace to go with the dress !

Update:


In the end, Jaslynn chose to wear another dress. When I asked her why did she change her mind? She replied that she did not say she wanted to wear the flowery dress in the first place.

She said it was her Mar Mar (Grandmother) who wanted her to wear that dress and since I could not recall which dress it was, she drew it for me. Oh, I see.

Anyway, see also looked quite pretty in the pink dress that she chose.



You can see more of her portfolio here.

Btw, she also has some of her brother, Justin's 'The Look'.

Happy Birthday To Me Too !

Jaslynn drew me a lovely Birthday Card,




and her declaration of her love.


So sweet. So touched.

Happy Mothers' Day 2008 !!

Jaslynn drew her mommy a portrait of herself as a princess (as usual), and also gave mommy a big lovely heart !

She put everything into a nice pink envelope which she made, but indicated the wrong address.

Luckily the postman managed to send it to the right addressee.



Justin also drew, or coloured, his mommy a card, complete with many flowers and hearts.





Happy Mother's Day !!

Black Knights Preview

Brought the kids to watch the Black Knights preview show last Friday at the Singapore Air Show.

They were thrilled by all the aerobatics and the thunderous roar of the jet engines as the F16s zoomed past the show center.









Only managed to take pics with a few static displays as not everything was ready.




Anyway, Jaslynn had the best shot of the aerobatics display.
