The journey of how I devote my love on someone I haven't met in real life
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
#180214# It was probably the busiest time of the year. Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, Sooyoung’s birthday and Ginger’s birthday all took place in the month of February. It was a miracle that I managed to find time to complete an artwork for each of these occasions in time before the “deadline”. Valentine’s Day was […]

#180129# Celebrations for our 3rd anniversary a.k.a 36th monthsary started on Sunday, 28th January when it was a perfect time to go for our annual art-jamming session at Arteastiq! Since we had the whole day to spare on a non-working Sunday, I decided to bring Taenggu for lunch first at a restaurant called The Providore […]

“Stillness is the flower of winter. All hope waits beneath a blanket of white.” / “If flowers can teach themselves how to bloom after winter passes, so can I.” #171229# Our 35th monthsary was spent in Taenggu’s home country, South Korea. Before my trip to Korea, I was kept extremely busy handling the sudden demand […]

#171129# Our monthsary this month fell on a Wednesday. Initially, I thought I would just bring her on a dinner date to a cafe or restaurant after work as I usually would if our monthsary is on a weekday. About one week before monthsary, my mum was watching the tv in the living room while […]

#171029# This monthsary is really the ultimate special out of my other special days with Taenggu because I’m spending it while on a vacation in China! Even right now as I’m writing this, I’m actually sitting in a cafe in Shanghai enjoying coffee and great food beside me. My special plan for our special monthsary […]

{Throwback to 9 March 2016} During our first year of relationship in 2015, on Taenggu’s 27th birthday, I did a back-breaking piece of pointillism art as a present for her (TAEYEON DAY 2015 – A MILLION PIECES OF YOU). And that was it; it was my practical way of celebrating her special day for her. […]

“Keep calm and drink wine.” Kim Taenggu #171014# It was Wine Day in Korea this month! This was the day when couples drink a glass of wine over a romantic dinner. 🍷 About 2 weeks before in preparation for this couple day, I thought of an idea to make a fun comic/illustration style of drawing. […]

#170829# This month, I didn’t feel the urge to plan anything special for our monthsary. Neither did I hear any voices mentioning or reminding me about monthsary frequently like how I did last month. So I just went with the flow until a few days before monthsary, I started asking myself what I should do […]

#170729# Our monthsary in July falls on a Saturday. When I was trying to plan for what to do on our monthsary early that month, I thought we could do something really different this time other than the usual cafe-hopping since I would have the whole day to spend with her. I happened to come […]

#170629# Originally, I planned to bring Taenggu to Chomp Chomp Food Centre on our monthsary in June to let her have a taste of our local hawker food, instead of going to the usual cafes. But I was a little hesitant about it because Chomp Chomp is a place where it is better to go […]

#170529# I wanted to bring Taenggu to visit the new Cinnamorall pop-up cafe but it is closed on Mondays (our monthsary, 29th May falls on a monday). So I planned to go there with her for lunch on the earlier Saturday instead. On Saturday afternoon, when I was getting myself ready to go out, I […]
