Everyday spent with Taenggu is already a very special day. But when we have special occasions like valentine’s, monthsary and birthdays, our already special days become even more special. These are what I call the ‘Extra Special Days with Taenggu’. <3
#191029# Since my 57th monthsary artwork was about kopi (refer to #57 MONTHSARY: KOPI SIEW DAI 半烧 GIRL), on the morning of our 57th monthsary, I had our typical Singapore breakfast set – kopi, kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs – to begin our day with a good start! At 12.15pm, I attended a hot stretch…
“My name is Sulli, Sul means snow and Li means a pear flower, so I’ll be probably reborn as a flower that is small but full of strong vitality.” Sulli #191014# On the morning of Wine Day, 14th October, I went for an interview for a part-time e-commerce assistant job for an online art &…
#190929# After halting my monthsary special series for over a year (my last one was about our 40th monthsary), the time feels right for me now to reboot this series off to a fresh new start, beginning from our 56th monthsary on 29th September 2019. Coincidentally on this day, it was also my great grandma’s…
#190302# & #190308# It was already planned since the start of January that I would be spending Taenggu’s birthday, which falls on 9th March, in Perth with my family. Somehow I had an intuition that I would not be able to celebrate her birthday on the actual day itself as liberally as I would want…
#190214# Anybody who is in a relationship would love to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the love of his/her life, isn’t it? I also don’t want to feel left out on this special occasion which is widely celebrated by couples all over the world, despite knowing that my lover wouldn’t be there physically by my side…
#190129# While I had done our anniversary painting on the earlier weekend (see my painting at 4TH ANNIVERSARY: PDA OF TWO LOVE BIRDS), our actual 4th anniversary fell on a Tuesday in the following week. Since it was a working day, I planned for a dinner date with Taenggu at Dazzling Cafe which is conveniently…
#180529# 29th May was also a Vesak Day holiday in Singapore. But for me as a jobless person then, it made no difference for me as everyday had been a holiday since I lost my job in April. As a Buddhist, I wanted to celebrate Buddha’s birthday by attending a free talk and meditation event…
“I love you more than I think I do.” Celeste Koh #181014# I wasn’t very confident with the general idea of this artwork when I was working on it. I had doubts whether this artwork would be good enough for Taenggu. I wanted to portray the moment after drinking a glass of red wine when…
#180429# I just arrived back in Singapore from my Korea trip at 5am on 29th April, the day of our 39th monthsary. My original plan was to go home and take a short nap until afternoon, visit a cafe for lunch with Taenggu to celebrate our monthsary together, and then at night I would have…
#180329# Our 38th monthsary clashes with my brother’s birthday. Our family already made plans for a Haidilao dinner together to celebrate his birthday on the actual day. So instead of the 29th, I brought forward our monthsary celebrations on the 24th March, Saturday instead. This time, I decided to bring Taenggu to Kombi Rocks, a…
#180309# It was a Friday. I had specially taken a leave from work. I was prepared to spend the whole day with Taenggu on her 30th birthday that day. As opposed to a weekend staycation like last year’s (TAENGGU’S 29TH BIRTHDAY SPECIAL: THE STAYCATION), I decided to go cafe-hopping with her instead. I already had…
#180228# It seemed like we just celebrated our 3rd anniversary together not long ago and now it was already our 37th monthsary. How time flies! Looking back at our monthsary in February last year (read: MONTHSARY SPECIAL: THE TWENTY-FIFTH), it was a reminder that Taenggu’s Fine was released exactly a year ago on this day!…
