I don't like this bowl. Period.
Let's make it extreme. I HATE THIS BOWL! hahaha...

Took me so long to made this piece from detailing, underglazing, glazing, another low fire and even gold luster. So total of 4 firing.. and turned out like this...MEH! MEH! MEH!

BUT...
It turns out that somebody bought this piece the first day we had sale!! AMAZING!! I guess "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is true!!

Sorry bowl... you're not so ugly after all. (from his side of view)
You deserved a nice family... kiss.

Dear my blog,
yeah... it's December, finally raining here in LA, and I just loved it every minute of it. I've been out all day playing in the rain, so now I'm at home felt like updating my blog which apparently happened not more than 5 times in a year... :D I'm sorry blog... i've been abandoned you.

But not to worry I still making ceramics whatever I can.. and getting more and more in love with it. (which probably why I've been neglecting you)

Some people said I should be serious about my ceramics, show them to some gallery, or selling them online or selling them on our studio.
Oh... I don't know really, felt like I just found my get away, without actually going away.

But perhaps one day, I will.

I fell in love with Edward Cullen.
That was me sitting on top of the tree with Edward Cullen.

......but then it's been 2 month already, finished 4 books in 10 days, watched the movie (on DVD).....
i'm so over you, Edward Cullen and I just go back to my dearest cuddly hubby.....

Suddenly Edward Cullen is just less and less important
but still I dedicated this piece to "Twilight"

halloween lantern

halloween lantern back, originally uploaded by ega-ega.

January 14th, 2009 and I'm posting my 2008 halloween lantern.
guess it showed how fast the time had passed, and how sloooooooooooooow my body movement..

geez! jan 14th already???? Where was I??

bird

I found a dead bird.
And today another bird...dead.
It hit the window and fell into out pool.
Lars tried to save the bird but it went straight back to the pool, again.
I guess life its just that hard as a bird.

"The" clown

red button, originally uploaded by ega-ega.

The longest clown show I ever enjoy watching probably "Krusty the Clown", but that because I love watching The Simpson almost every night. (except weekends because Fox doesn't show Simpson on the weekend).

Even since I was a little, I never thought clowns are funny or cute. And boy......, I'm so glad I never finished the "IT" movie.
My mom would never let me watched that kind of movie, so I watched it at the age of 17, ...and still scared the hell out of me!
i still remember when the clown was watching from the gutter... with the "look"! Yup... gutter.... no way I getting close to a gutter until now.

So ya...for now I just watch "Krusty the Clown" a sad drunken old "never funny" clown...and so far he's harmless.. to me.

Amir

The only fun thing when I had to go to tennis lesson at 6.30 am was when I spotted Amir from the corner of my neighbor house.
Amir was a brown short fluffy dog, who usually sleep around 3 meter radius of my neighbor house. He had such a cute face almost looked like a teddy bear, on dog version of course. I've been dealing with dog since I was a little kid, so I knew never played with dog stranger without permission. (or good instinct)

I hate tennis.
I got blister all over my palm, my arms sore, and my legs felt like made out of stone. The tennis court only 5 minutes by foot even tennis teacher able to waited in front of my house at 6.15 AM!!!
My mom didn't have time to make breakfast so she made me a sandwich. Which I hate too.


2 slice of breads with thick butter and little sugar in between didn't look too appealing at 6.30 am or any other time. Period.
So put the bread in the middle of sleepy street to drag Amir's attention. And I walked 30 meters away and hide behind a bushes. And he ate it!
So every time I put bread closer and closer to my house. Amir getting more and more comfortable and knew me too.

Until one day, tennis lesson was over. Just because my strategy of "pretending sleeping and didn't hear when my mom knocking at my door", seemed work finally.
Days passed by and I was enjoying myself waking up 9am in the morning.
And there he was, Amir, he was standing in front of my house. He was waiting for me doing the morning breakfast routine, I guess.

From that day, Amir never left my house. He was officially my dog.
And made all my female dogs pregnant.

(don't ask about my neighbor, I am sure my dad had to talk with them)

Once I heard an owl outside my window late at night. Loud and weird sound.. but very interesting. Too bad it flew before I was able to reach my camera.

Worm

Dear Writers on Strike,
I guess you are busy striking out there, and don't know if any of you going to read my letter. But I just want to tell you that I wish you well!
Don't get me wrong I hate writing, just as much as singing.
I know I know, I'm being selfish here, but its been awhile since I have watched my rerun TV show, and its torturing me. Don't be mad at me, I am just one of your biggest fan.

Missing you
Secret admirer

PS: The worm had nothing to do with my letter. Just trying to be cute :D

Monkey forest

I always want monkey, little monkey, orang utan or any other cute monkey. But since sometimes I acted like monkey, my husband said we don't need monkey anymore...fair enough.
I guess, 2 monkey would be too much for him.

This one was one of my first ceramic piece, it took me a long time to finish.
Especially when it comes to choosing the right color.
The underglaze color didn't come out as I expected, as I wanted to be more like "ogre" color. Happily ever, after green.
