5 Random weird things about me

Hoo-kay, I have been tagged by both Jac http://jac-jac-jac.blogspot.com/ and Lynn http://brikbrac.blogspot.com/ to do this random list of quirks about me.

The rules are as follow:-

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names & links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Here comes the list. Hmmmm...

1) My windows are always wide open in winter and I only close them when the snow starts getting in. ^_^ I love the cold too much. I eat ice-cream when it is cold out. Especially when it snows. Whenever I buy ice-cream during winter, I get stares. Oh well, it's the only time when you can slowly eat your ice-cream without it melting.

2) I have 2 large dolls. 60-ish cm tall. I love to change their eyes and hair. I spend more on their clothes than I do on mine. They are always seated on the table in my painting studio facing the door, so whenever I walk into the studio, they are there to greet me. Kowaii.. X(

3) I sometimes skip when I walk. No I don't skip all the way, just skip a beat while I walk. I don't know why.

4) I take a 2 hour bus ride to New York early in the morning just to have Dimsum and be back by noon, just because the Dimsum in Philadelphia starts at 11.30am and I want to eat Dimsum at 9 or 10. Well, I enjoy the trip anyway, so I don't really mind it. LOL

5) I am an extremely clean painter. I am the only person in my painting department, that paints large painterly paintings without having any paint on my clothes, brush handles, my hand, and the floor. I freak out if I get any paint on my clothes and I will spend the whole day scrubbing at the paint. :-) There are packets of baby wipes, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, hand soap in my painting studio.

Here are the list of people I am tagging.

NEW YORK! NEW YORK!~~

Went to New York last Tuesday and Friday.
The trip on Tuesday, my friends and I went to Chelsea to visit some Art Galleries with Charles Browning. It was fun. Patti drove us there and here we are, crammed in the car.

Fly Catcher Laura ^O^ and Patti the driver.

Patti concentrating on driving.

Jamie, Melanie and JiYoung. All smiles.

Yup, Me squeezed on the side trying to take a picture together.

This odd building as we drove into the city.

Friday, Pik Yew came to New York and I went up to meet her for a day trip. Did some tourist thing by going around tourist spots. Well, being in America for 3-4 years, I have to do that somehow.

On the Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty.

Brought Pik Yew to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Posing beside Buddha. ^^

The common tourist picture.

Ownage Revisited

This is a sequel to the first ownage photo story where Toyo was being a big mischief and he got owned by Ba.

Enjoy this second part where Toyo is joined by Roro. Double the mischief ^w^

Installation art 2005

Lol, I searched myself on Google and I came across this page and I just remembered I did an installation art with a few people and the picture the Schuylkill Center used was the one I did. :) It is called "Nepenthean Rebirth". Scroll down and you will see it. I will try and find if there are any photos I can dig up to post up here

White

Testing some high key photography.

Bare

This is the most humorous painting I have ever done. HUGE painting, 62" X 42" so it is in your face meat..... It is so outwardly in your face sexual for one. It is a male I am painting...that's 2. And it is a doll. XD

Everyone's first reaction seeing this painting was to...Laugh. LOL I can't help laughing either. Such a loaded image, serious and sexual and yet. Humorous?

Halloween, Pumpkin carving

Couple of nights ago, I decided to go to Patti's house to carve pumpkins for Halloween. ^^
Ji Young, Laura, Patti and I.

Ji Young and Patti

Laura and Ji Young

Taking my own photo. Pathetic...

Patti. LOL Pumpkin-licious

Ji Young gobbling pumpkin seeds...

Our pumpkins and I. ^^ Mine is on the right.
My first pumpkin carving.

Doll Meet-up at Liberty Place, Philadelphia 21st Oct

So, I went to this doll gathering and didn't chicken out, which I normally do cause I hate going to these kinda meet ups and to socialize. But I digress... I really wanted to see other dolls in real life. Anyways, Lots of images. Here they are.

Lots of pictures but I only selected some that are really nice. Loads of pictures of other dolls that are not in here. If you want, I can just link you to photobucket if you are interested.

Updated:--the photobucket for more picts. I didn't move the pictures cause a lot of links will be broken if I do. :P So don't mind the other picts.
