FEATURED in the following FAA group:
No Place Like Home
Awesome Asia
I was approached by Central Singapore Community Development Council (CDC) to be part of the Silver Parade event on March 16, 2019. I painted this live during the 3-hr event held at Institute of Technical Education at Ang Mo Kio. There were around 2,000 visitors mostly seniors and the elderly invited for the 3-hour event.
There were singing, fashion show, games and my booth featured me doing live painting of this heritage scene. They build 3 wood panels of 1 metre (3 feet) each that are rotatable.
This will be used for a road show in early May and will be kept as part of the Central Development Council of Singapore's collection of artworks. (CDC)
Many people told me this brought them back to the good old days where they lived in the farm or in the village before they moved out and lived in the flats. I remember I had an aunt who was the wife of the village head. They would celebrate weddings, funerals and all occasions in their premises where land is accessible. I had to spend the night in a mosquito protected tent in one of their bedrooms. My recollections are still vivid as I enjoyed my time with my cousins. I also remembered the well that provided water for the family and the ostriches and chickens would run around the compound of the house. Ahhhh memories are indeed made of these. I want to preserve these precious memories and pass them onto the next generations of the time we had and how we lived.
