Marching on

Hello friends! I am back without a break!

The girls went back to school on Monday after a week of break from school. We were busy preparing for Hannah's ballet exam during the first few days, which was right after my last project for a competition. After 4 months of practise and one whole week of drilling and perfecting the moves, it was finally over last Wednesday. Hannah didn't say much about the exam other than the words "fine" and "I am the only one who understand her English". She really does not care about how well or bad she did in front of the examiner from the Royal Academy of Dance.

Right after the exam, the girls went to their best friend's house to play. Sooner than you can blink, they had forgotten their mummy. But that's ok, I have my companies - their friends' mummy. We all partied hard and had lots of fun over this short holiday.

This week, I managed to get a bit of time in the afternoon to update my overdue blogs and catch up with housework which should be done before this weekend as we will be spending a few days in Bintan with my family. So let's pray for good weather.

Here are some illustrations for First Time Writers and Illustrators Publishing Initiative 2008, a yearly event organised by the National Book Development Council of Singapore. I collaborated with Lynn, a mother who is aspired to be a children's book writer, on this project. I had less than a week to come out with the illos for her book. I managed to complete 1 full colour version with watercolour and 2 tight black and white sketches. Tell me what you think.
