This other blog (see link below) was created to display my decorative items for sale. However as time passes by, the time to paint for sale just eluded me

No special reason as to why I still have this blog... maybe it's just to remind me..... that's where and how I started to be where I am now :)

All items shown are hand-painted personally by yours truly... but now I focus on commissioned jobs. So, I do take orders... but the queue is long... sorry :( .... but if you are willing to wait in the queue... I'm more than obliged to paint for you..... It would be an honour!!!!

I love u all... my hartamas babies....

I've been lazy lately...(errr..come to think of it...when have I ever not been lazy huh???? muahahaha)... not that I'd not done any painting...I have but nothing's completed... touch and go here and there *sigh* no great accomplishment as yet...

It's difficult to really push and motivate myself to go further... but for now I hope it's just a temporary setback.... I have friends' and customers' orders to complete!!!! Hmmm... scary thought in this current condition.... *sigh*... hehe I guess, one can blame it on the hormones... again!!! muahahaha.... yup!yup!yup! Anyway... I'm actually taking a breather now... been varnishing all the "completed but unvarnished" projects since yesterday....

So what have I been doing??? Well... I've been surfing the net looking for ideas and inspirations... but most of the time... I was on Facebook reminiscing the past. I decided I'd go student -hunting...and see how many of these kids still remember me and would be willing to have me ... their school marm... in their friend list. I'm happy to say... I've so far been accepted by 31 students who are now my friends in Facebook....gorgeous thing, this Facebook thingy. Oh btw... if you are on FB...please do add me in ya... I'd love to be of acquaintance...

SM Sri Hartamas was my last post... and a most memorable one. It was a new school and I joined them in its second year. There were only 3 Form 2 and 4 Form 1 classes then. ..with maybe 300 in population, including the teachers!..way back in 1994 (I think hehehe...don't trust my memory!!!) Though I majored in biology, there were no upper forms yet...so I ended teaching BM, KH, Art and Sc to the lower forms. The F1 kids grew with me... as I got to teach almost everyone of them!!!!

Thus... for the past 2 weeks, as I started with Fino and Indah (who were already with me in FB earlier on) ... I went 'stalking' hahaha.... and found the rest... hehehe still stalking looking for more. It was actually a pleasant feeling. I remembered them as young kids... knew them when they were 12 or 13... but as I read their profiles... I see that they have all bloomed and matured to be beautiful responsible adults!!!.... yes... mind you...even the ones that got constantly hauled to the office due to some mischief or the other. ... hahaha.

I am so proud to see u guys... thank you for the beautiful memories. A teacher's life has been rewarded when the kids she helped nurture are now successful adults..... and hey.... some of them have made me a grandmother many times over!!!! muahahaaha.... I love u guys...

Yup! ...that's it for now... I'm going back to my studio... to try paint some more... good day y'all....
