Woody structure…
… I absolutely love looking at trees. The vertical, horizontal and mostly upward diagonal branches of trees always fascinates me.
Here’s a quote specially dedicated to you all.
Family like branches on a tree, we grow all in different directions, yet our roots remain as one. ~ Unknown
Have a wonderful, Monday. ~ Melle

A workshop I have visited…
…unabashedly, I asked.
“So if I want to learn wood carving, can I come over so that they can teach me?”
“Yeah, why not!?” Chris answered.
Woot… I’m kinda taking his words for real and needless to say, I have started my homework with some research and hope I’ll be able to get some good woods to start.
Huh huh, Hi ci ja, hold tight !!
Again, I got inspired…
… as always, spending time walking around on the feet is how I prefer to travel, be it city or countryside. I like taking my time strolling along the streets and discover the place, watching the people, tasting the food along the roadside, in the restaurants and cafes where the locals eat, talking to the locals, understanding the culture and aspect of life that we can’t see or experience from riding on a car. Agree?
During a walk on a refreshing morning, I got fascinated (silently) with this traditional handcrafted Chinese paper lantern in a small temple and my mind drifts back to the olden times. The older days were filled with characters and people live their life in a creative manner. Let’s take the artisanic handicraft for instance, handcrafted useful and decorative devices using natural and limited materials are made completely and  impeccably by hand. With simple tools. They are genius !! Very amazing. Very inspiring. If I have a chance to live in the olden days, my life sure is super-duper interesting, imaginative and creative.
But sadly most of the crafts that were practiced in olden times are not practiced nowadays, but I dream of doing one of these crafts one day ~ Melle
Work • Play • Love…
…wahey !! Like it or not,  I feel so much rejuvenated and loving the all work and no play vacation a.k.a Valentine’s gift. Is it or is it not? Hmm. Yeah, I am working and playing and I’m definitely loving every single bit of it. It’s great !! I can’t wait for tomorrow to come. It’s gonna be another interesting day. *wink* Good night !! Luv, MelleÂ

Happy Saint Valentine’s Day! ~ Melle
Back dated…
… I invited some nice friends of mine for a home cooked lunch back in January. It was my honor to have you all here spending quality time together. I really love to see that we were filled to the brim with joy and laughter. And for the first time, cooking for twelve was thrilling. Chinese cuisine was served accompanied by aromatic rice and scrumptious soup. Oh… as well as my signature orange cake for dessert. Yum… yes? ~ Melle
Harmony…
… how nice it is to take some rest and spend some little time with some little friends, had some little good foodies and some little laughter on a hot and sunny day. In another word, it is nice to get some harmonies. Lovely… ~ Melle
