Prior to leaving for Singapore last April, I planned a few things I will do to feed my creative craving. Inspired by the artist @abbeysy's travel journal filled with lettering and doodles, I plotted an insertion of these activities into our tour itinerary BEFORE the cruise, so I could leisurely paint on the deck: Visit Art Friend in Bras Basah Complex. Buy Art Spiral watercolor sketchbook, as seen from an Instagram account I'm following, @bananabellieboo. Buy a watercolor pan with … [Read more...]
5 Snippets of Marmee’s Wisdom, Cymplified!
A photo posted by Cym M (@ceemee) on May 22, 2015 at 8:27pm PDT I was just a little woman myself when I first picked up this book. I was on the other side of the fence then.

Mothers Are…, Cymplified!
Being a mother makes me acquire a deeper appreciation for my own mom. When my children were sick, and their temperatures had to be kept down with frequent wiping using wet face towels & paracetamol, I remembered my mom who would come into my room whenever I am ill, with medicine & a glass of water even in the wee hours of the morning. When I am tutoring my children and helping them do their homework, I think of my mom's patience with me, although there were times that she got … [Read more...]
