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 !

Uncle Jit 'eong's 'ouse

The last time I brought the kids to Unlce Jit 'eong 'ouse was almost 2 months ago.

Reached there about 11 plus and saw that Jiale was very busy.

He was focusing so intently on his 'calligraphy' that you can see beads of perspiration forming.

Ta Da !! What 'character' did you think he was practising? Ha ha !!

Jiaxi wasn't so shy now. She even posed for me!

Trying to see if I was still paying attention to her.

How come no bubbles one?!?!

Yarn (run) !!! For your Yife (life) !!! That's how Justin pronounces. He was playing the Transformers game on PS2. He thought the Decepticons were going to jump out of the TV to catch him.

Our 'accountant' tallying up the sales for the day.

Oooh ! Look what I've found !

#$%^&* !!!! Didn't know these things are so heavy !!!

Good way to destress watching kids play.

Kids !!!

Brought the kids over to Jit Leong's place as I had to pass him something. My kids loved his place as there were plenty of toys, plus there was a slide somemore. Told my friend his house looks more like a mini childcare centre. Ha ha !!

These photos were taken using Jit Leong's new toy, the Nikon D80, that he bought recently. He couldn't stop taking photos with it. We started photography quite some time back and are quite avid photobugs.

Anyway, the kids really had a ball of time ! Moreover, there were plenty of shelves and drawers which Justin simply loved to explore. Not to mention there were also Ribena and cheese ! My friend sure knows how to keep them quiet. But not for long !!!!

Justin and Jiale 'discussing' which game to play. Think Justin is more interested in his Ribena.

Jaslynn's turn to have a go at the (dunno what you call it) toy.

First signs of trouble. But all's well, just some minor 'disagreements', as usual.

That's Jit Leong's little girl, Jiaxi, wondering what they're doing with her toy. Can I have it back please? Don't spoil it hor.

This was the first time Jiaxi met me, so she was a little apprehensive, as do most toddlers. The way she toddles around reminded me of Jaslynn when she was at Jiaxi's age. I just followed her around with my camera.

She then went to her daddy's study room and when I looked in, she was hiding behind the cd rack. Her expression was one of those like was afraid yet still wanted to take a peek. I like the expression of her eyes.

Anyone trying to take a group photo of kids will know how difficult it is. You'd probably end up with 4 kids all looking at 4 different directions, and anywhere except where the camera is.

A bit better now.

Well, had to call it a day as the kids were getting cranky as it was nap time. On the way home my son kept requesting to 'go to Uncle Jit eong's ouse'.
