Happy 23rd Birthday to Leonard!!!
I wanted to write a lot, but I'm really starving. So will just rush a few words then go stuff my face.
Spent the afternoon at the NUS Museum's open house. It was actually meant for freshmen, but I saw a couple of university staff as well. Missed the Peranakkan (i can never spell this word) bead handicraft demonstration, but managed to go for the guided tour of all 3 galleries. Wish you were there, Len.
But the most fun part was the Chinese painting demonstration by Ang Cheng Chye, who churned out 4 pieces in just over an hour. I especially liked the last piece which was 2 long-stemmed orchids with 2 butterflies hovering around them, entitled, 'Couple'. Actually it was called some fancy, ultra-poetic Chinese name, which I can't recall. The artist tried to explain the significance to me, which was really nice of him.
And I'm super impressed that he has his own website. How organised of him! Pity that the works online are not his best. I think the stuff that are in his books and in his photo album are better. Will look forward to seeing more of his stuff in art galleries, and such.
