| Into the land of fire! |
A Little Blogging...
I always wondered what it’s like to be able to control fire. When I was younger, I used to love times where there was a black out at home. It would be the only time I was allowed near fire. My sister and I would always come up with illusions and tricks to play on a lighted candle without burning ourselves.
During Chinese New Year, my cousins and I would play with fireworks and noise-makers on the first night of Chinese New Year. We would battle with our grandparents’ neighbours by lighting up those little fireworks called “Lotus”. It’s a small disked shaped firework that spins on the ground. We used to put it standing up and faced it to the neighbours and lighting it makes it roll like wheels of lights. After a friendly war of fireworks, my cousins and I would light up the left over wrappers (Yes, I contributed to global warming. Not proud of it but it was fun.) making a huge bon fire.
Fire always amused me and I always wanted to be in a world where I don’t get burn playing with fire. Hence this picture I’ve generated digitally. Having able to spawn fireballs and having hair of fire rocks!
Description
In this picture, I tried to create a hot, dry and fiery feel to the image. I used a dry and cracked land as the ground and burnt trees in the background to enhance the dryness. I used crows flying across the sky to symbolize the migration due to the unbearable heat. I placed a girl in the image to show the ability to withstand heat and fire. The use of a fireball in her hand and her hair of fire shows her control over fire which explains the choice of title Heat Can Not Stop Me.

| Swimming with the fishes! |
A Little Blogging...
Has anyone ever asked you that if you could be an animal, what animal would you want to be and why? It’s a broad question with no right or wrong answer. I used to want to be a puppy when I was a kid because it was so adorable.
As I grew older, I often think back to this question and if I were to answer it again now, I would say I want to be a blue whale. I always think life underwater is peaceful and calm and it would be nice if I could live underwater and swim with the fishes. Blue whales are the largest mammals on earth and they are so calm and gentle. If you have ever gone snorkeling or scuba diving, being under water kind of clears your mind away from everything. All the sounds and voices are all so distant that it puts you in a calm mode. I’ve created this picture of a girl being able to swim with the fishes under the sea as it gives a feel of serenity and coolness like what it would be like being a whale.
Description
This picture aims to create a cool, underwater effect. This is created by giving a bluish tint to the image. I place the image of the girl being able to swim under the sea without any aid of an oxygen tank. I also included bubbles to make it look natural underwater. Fishes are seen swimming along with the girl hence the title Fishes Are Friends

Have you ever had a déjà vu? Where you do or experience something that you felt like you have already done or experienced before? Sometimes it makes you think to yourself “hey, I’ve dreamt of this before”. And in certain cases it makes you think “hey, I dreamt I thought to myself that I dreamt this happened before”. I just like to think that those are just dreams that came true.
Sometimes, like in this case, some dreams are better left a dream. Maybe that’s why nightmares don’t really come true. Imagine having nightmares of zombies and ghouls and having a déjà vu about it. YIKES!
Although, there was a time in my life when I thought ghouls and spirits and all these “dark” stuff was cool. I had collected Living Dead Dolls, tarot cards, ouiji boards and I thought goth was cool. Haha! Well this kinda depicts what I thought was cool then. Thank goodness I grew up!
Description
This image is created to achieve a gothic, dark, scary and deathly look. I chose to use a full moon as it is believed that during the full moon, many unexplainable incident takes place like werewolf and people going crazy. I also used a worn out and deserted monument as the background to create a deserted and haunted effect together with the fog. The bats are used to create a scary and deathly symbol and thorns in the foreground is used to create a gothic and dark feel. The girl i chose in this image creates a threatening and haunting feel like she is about to attack. I also gave her dark wings to represent demons and evilness. I also made her face half a skull to represent death. Although this image seems to be grueling and deathly, it is somehow a Twilight-like fantasy with vampires and such thus the title Even In Death

| Smell of crisp fresh grass! |
A Little Blogging...
When I was a little girl, I loved nature. I used to play with insects and dig up earthworms and snails. I would spend my evenings laying on the grass and watching the clouds go by. My mom and I would watch the clouds and point out shapes of the clouds that make up pictures.
Until today, I still love nature. I love the crisp fresh smell of greens in the early mornings. This picture shows how close to nature the girl is. I love the effect of the sunrays shining through the trees with glistening particles that makes it so unreal. Having a close connection with a wild bird gives the feel of peace with nature. And the lush green forest bring back the hint of fresh grass in the mornings.
Description
This picture depicts life, nature, green and bliss. I chose to use the jungle as a background to show the closeness of nature to the girl. I also used the owl as it is often seen as mystical and to represent the closeness of the girl with animals. I also gave the image a colourful tint to create a blissful and fantasy-like feel while adding some glistening lights and light rays. It shows how human should sometimes take a step back from technology and get a whiff of nature, therefore the tilte Back To Nature.

| Of fairy dust and rainbows! |
A Little Blogging...
Being a typical girly-girl when I was a kid, I used to loved cartoons like My Little Pony and Care Bears. I always wanted a unicorn as a pet and I absolutely love rainbows and stars and in fact, I still do. I always wondered what it would be like to be in Care Bear’s town or living with the Little Ponies. I created this picture to bring myself to my childhood dreamland where everything is not just fantasy but true. If only fantasy could come true. I would really love a pet unicorn!
Description
This image depicts my ultimate fantasy since i was a child. Therefore i chose to use a little girl in this picture rather than an adult. Unicorns are the prettiest mystical animal and I chose to use it in this image with extra tint of rainbow in its hair. A castle is placed in the clouds to represent that the sky is not a limit. I also used a rainbow that leads to the castle as a bridge from earth to the land in the sky. This image was and is my ultimate fantasy and that explains the title MY Ultimate Childhood Fantasy.
