I thought about it for a while what would be a good gift to give him for 2 years. I got him a pretty awesome Spider-man sleeveless top which is cool, nice and airy for our upcoming trip. A handmade card that had letters I have from some arts and crafts thing - now looking at it, it totally looks like a stalker card. Hahaha. I got him a very fashionable knitted tie ( which he does not have in his collection of ties ). and the Big sock monkey to go with the little sock monkey. We then went to eat at Oyama on Kingsway. I like the sushi there, it's well presented but the service sometimes is not so great, the food takes a long time to come out, and flagging down someone takes a while.   After dinner I remember going to a party, one of B-'s best friends. The party ended with a group of people playing cards against humanity and the cops coming to the door.

My dad came over this morning to pick up papers and in exchange handed me the page from the SingTao daily newspaper which had the article about the show. Release the Butterflies A nice way to start the morning. 

The long road to success is forged by dreams, plans, sweat, blood, hard work and good friends and family and sacrifice. It is truly a battle of will. You battle everything. You're in a fight with somethings you can't control. Time. Weather. People. The one thing you can control, but you're still going to be in a fight with is yourself and the decisions you have to make.  There is never enough time to do everything that you want to do - even if there is a set date for completion. Sacrifices must be made, even if a lot of effort has been put into the preparation of all things. Things happen and there is nothing else you can do but sacrifice for the greater good of all other things. The weather is never going to be what you want it to be. It's going to rain when you need it to be sunny, it's going to sunny if you don't care if it rains. It's going to be too hot or too cold and then in the end you're going to find yourself praying or asking some unse...

  Release the butterflies will be my first solo art show open to the public, happening on July 13, 2013.  I have been studying art since the age of 11 and Art has been a part of my life ever since. I specialize in two traditional styles of art, one is Oriental watercolor and the other is carbon powder art. The style of Oriental watercolor painting I specialize in is called Lingnan, it's origins from china it was created as a fusion of art from the North and South of the Orient. Myself being a Canadian, a lot of my art today is a fusion of the East and West. I am currently planning to hold my first solo art exhibition  'Release the Butterflies'  open to the public, On July 13, 2013 in downtown Vancouver. I am doing so for a number of reasons. One, it is one of my life goals to hold my own art show, but more importantly I have decided to host my own exhibition due to the fact that I may be one of the youngest remaining Lingnan artists in the Greater Van...
