Found this quaint little Bohemian-themed cafe while Ken and I were exploring downtown Phuket… It’s called Bookhemian haha - naturally it contained shelves of books and cute little artsy things. Nice see the sliding table tops that kept seating arrangements very configurable.

Sketching with @ngdiknam @tan1889_xiaojia from a cool cafe in downtown Phuket during Asia Link Sketchwalk: Phuket 2025 last August. Wonderful hangout and chat as we made art together; that’s the beauty of being a part of a the global village of Urban Sketchers…

A&E, National University Hospital, Singapore (NUHS) Not where I’d envisioned spending my post-CNY weekend. But oh well… Since nothing to do here cos “He MAKETH me lie down in green (bedsheets)…”, journaled the experience. #syncopationsintherhythmoflife #rollingwithHispunches #memoirsofpapat

RESTORE Juice Cafe inside KL’s Central Market. We had just had lunch after sketching at KL’s Chinatown under pretty brutal heat, so we plopped ourselves down at this new looking juice cafe and sipped, sketched and chatted the afternoon away in aircon comfort. So refreshing… ☺️

Chinatown, KL, Malaysia… Done when several of us from @usk.sg joined @kualalumpururbansketchers at the invitation of Master @kclee.81 to participate in KLAW (KL Architectural Week). *Sailor EF nib FP, Sinours Artist Grade Watercolors, Suti 320gsm Watercolor Sketchbook

Third sketch of 2026: Verdun Road (east end of Little India), a place I’m really familiar with and come to often ‘cos one of my offices is on this road. In fact I was literally sketching from right in front of my head office.
