Woman, you do so much!

That was the message sent to me by my HK-based colleague, M, when she asked me this morning if I wanted to hang out by the pool at her hotel. At that time I was at Vivo City attending church service at Golden Village (*umm yes, it’s pretty common to hold service inside the mall if big venues are in short supply*)

Perhaps M thought that it was a chore for me to attend church, hence, that comment. Actually, it’s not. Whenever, I’m here in SG, I don’t miss church. But in Manila, it’s really a chore because I’m still rejecting the chauvinist attitude of the pastors there so I haven’t attended church there since 2017.

Anyway, I went around Vivo City for a bit to see what’s in Tangs (not much on offer) and have lunch. I went back to Plaza Singapura to buy earrings from Lovisa for the girls.

And went to check out Art Friends to see if there are stuff I can buy that aren’t available in Manila.

Well, they have the Winsor & Newton Professional pans and tubes, Winsor & Newton Cotman pans and tubes, Kuretake Gansai Tambi pans and Daler Rowney pans and tubes. Well after experiencing Holbein, I don’t think I would go for other brands.

So I bought a new set of watercolor pads (they don’t have Durer) and 0.03 Copic multiliner. And a glue stick for my receipts that I need to glue on notebooks so I won’t lose them when I reimburse my expenses here. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

After Art Friend, I bought lunch and went straight to my hotel. And slept. Then I spent all evening doing this:

Because I’m tired, can’t move, so I painted instead of going to another mall. Art and photo by CallMeCreation.com

I still need to pack…
