[GONGYOO] WKOREA

A behind cut from the magazine was released by his agency SOOP Management today via their Facebook page.



As filming for "Secret Agent" has already started at overseas location until December, the release of "A Man and A Woman" might be slated for early next year instead of this year.

[COLORiNG] Completed piece

Took me a while to complete this piece.  Was doing a few pieces together including one for MPH's coloring contest.  So it was a relief to finally get this done!  Not quite satisfied with it.  Will try to improve and do better next time!


[COLORING] This week's buy and arrivals

Call me crazy, but these books really give me a calming effect by just looking at them!  Here are my collection from end of last week!


Bought "The Colorful" at the Faber Castell kiosk in Plaza Merdeka.  The two Color Me Mindful series were from Popular Bookstore with promo price of only RM12 each!  

These two were also bought from Popular Bookstore with promo price for members.  I love "Flower Store" (left) very much.  Very pretty and elegant illustration.  Thought it has same feel as "Beautiful Day".
"Only Story" consist of illustrations from fairy tale stories like Peter Pan, Cinderella, etc... 

These are today's arrival from Merry Bunny - "Beautiful Day", "Vintage" and "Flower".  The others are free gifts from her.  :)

These are also todays' arrival, but from MPH Bookstore from one of my backdated orders.

[COLORING] More books!!!


These are some of the books that arrived this week.

Bought these from MerryBunny.  Although her pricing is a bit more pricey, but for titles that are not available in stores here, I guess it's not that bad.  Her service is good and fast!  She includes cute freebies too!


These are my orders from MPH Online store.  I pre-ordered "Lost Ocean" early last month. Wasn't expecting the title to reach me way before expected delivery date.  Comes with Staedtler Triplus fineliner, a Whimpy Kid's Read-a-thon badge and a MPH bookmark.  "Nature 70 Designs to Help You De-Stress" is from one of my previous outstanding order due to stock unavailability.

So many books, so little time to color!  What am I to do?!?!~~~  LOL!  Guess I'll take my sweet time.  Looking at the books itself already makes me feel calm and relax.  Hehehe~~~

[FOOD] Simple lunch menu


School has been out since Monday due to worsening haze.  Stayed at home most of the time.  In mood for chicken rice today, so this is what we have for lunch.  Served with soup from remaining chicken broth, fried chicken and green vegetables with oyster sauce.

[COLORING] Another new buy

Bought this Korean title yesterday at Faber Castell kiosk in one of the shopping mall here.  I've always seen the UK version, which is quite pricey, so I was glad I found the Korean version at much cheaper price. :P

These titles arrived yesterday, but I only managed to pick them up from the courier office today.


I know.. Those of you who are into this craze will probably feel the same... I've been asking myself why I can't stop purchasing these books!  Maybe because just by looking at the book, it makes me happy.  Hehehe~~

[COLORING] Another work-in-progress


Yes!  Picking out another book to color.  Hehe~~ I guess I end up coloring different book on different day or time.  I started a piece from "컬러링 Cafe" (Coloring Cafe) last night.  It's because I saw someone do a minimal color theme, and it looks amazing.  So, now I'm inspired to try one myself too!  I will be using four colors for this piece - black, red, silver and gold.

And yes!  That's my 30 year old Colleen pencils that I'm using!!

[COLORING] Creative Haven - OWLS Coloring Book


Today's buy @ MPH Bookstore. The Spring.  Cute and sweet illustration of owls.


[OTHERS] Today's sunrise


As Borneo was blanketed by thick haze over the past one month or so, it was really great to watch the sun rise and clearer visibility once again.  Thanks to the steady rainfall we have been getting the past few afternoon.  Although the haze has not fully disappeared, but situation is getting better here. Hopefully, the haze season is coming to an end for this year!

[COLORING] Current Work-In-Progress


This is one of my current work in progress before heading to bed.  It's a piece from "Colouring For Mindfullness - Cats".  Love this piece, but very straining to the eyes as there are lots of very fine lines involved.  But I'm loving the challenge!

[COLORING] Completed 4th piece


My 4th piece was from Enchanted Forest.  Completed it some time last week.  It looks rather easy, but still it was not as easy as I thought it would be.  I often get stuck in choosing what colors to use.



Also, last night I managed to dig out a really old colored pencils which I had kept unused for almost 30 years.  It's a brand that most people doesn't really heard of.  In fact, it seems so rare now that I don't seem to come across it in any stores here in Kuching!

[COLORING] The Calm Colouring Book


This is my latest addition to my collection.  Bought it from MPH Store @ The Spring.

I was kinda torn between getting this and "Flower Mandalas".  Both books were wrapped, so I wasn't able to have a look at how the designs are and how's the paper quality like.  So, I end up choosing this one because the cover design captures my attention more.

I must say I was kinda disappointed at first after unwrapping it, but after flipping through the pages a few more times, I feel that the designs are starting to grow on me despite the not that great paper quality.  I've quite a few books taking turns lining up waiting for me to color them, so I'll get to this soon.  :)



[GONGYOO] Elle (Korea) October-2015 "BE MINE"


YES! More from Elle!  They have released a video of Gong Yoo's photoshoot session for October's issue, in collaboration with The Body Shop (Korea).

[COLORING] What I have done


As a housewife, I spend my day doing house chores, cooking and sending my children to and fro school, which can be big headache when one is in morning session, and another in afternoon session.

Therefore, for me, coloring not only is a hobby to me, but also act as a stress relief after a busy day!

There are times when my daughter has activity in school after school hour, and I need to spend time at an eatery or mall after sending her lunch, waiting to pick her up again after a few hours. I used to spend time reading, but I find that reading makes me really sleepy. Thanks to coloring, I find my waiting time fly past quickly without me knowing!

Since I started this hobby not too long ago, and I only do it at night or while waiting.. so I only managed to get 3 done for now. There are not as impressive as many people did, but it makes me feel good. ^^ My daughter has a fair share in coloring as we wait together for time to pick up her brother.




[GONGYOO] Discovery Expedition - Fall/Winter 2015


Discovery in Iceland





[COLORING] My coloring books

Coloring for grown ups seems to be in trend now, and I guess I am not an exception either.  Heh.. heh.....

It caught my attention when I was watching the K-drama "Producer".  One of the actress was coloring some pages in 2 of the episodes and makes me wonder if that kind of coloring book is available here as well.  And it didn't take long when I found one at a bookstore.  Since there are limited titles and copies at the store, I end up placing orders for more titles at their online store.


Feels like child again enjoying coloring at my spare time.  And it's great to share this experience with my daughter as well.


Here are some titles which I've purchased, while the rest are awaiting for shipping.
