"My
favourite wayangs would feature the wu-shengs, high-ranking soldiers who excelled
in swordsmanship and acrobatics. Their resplendent military costumes, grand and
heroic, sparked my interest in drawing and painting. I would commit these images
to memory, and render them on paper when I went home. In one sitting, I would
draw many pictures, and the more I drew, the more I enthusiastic I became." |

| | When
I started primary school, I entered a calligraphy contest, and emerged with the
first prize. That joyous moment would always remain with me. I took up calligraphy
even more fervently, I felt that calligraphy was a luxury that was able to bring
joy to the heart."

"Pulau
Ubin was our favourite haunt, so much so that we came to know every nook and corner
of the island, Hence, we called ourselves 'The Ubin Painters'. Other than Ubin,
we also ventured to wherever we feft were good places to paint. We especially
loved visiting fishing villages and kampungs." |
