From another planet?

Here is a quick sketch in Corel Painter. I think I am getting more comfortable with the WACOM tablet. I hope the few of you that visit our blog would enjoy this.

LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 102 NEW JERSEY NETS 101


This must have been one of the most exciting games that I have been to at the Staples Center. Sam "I am" Cassell hits Cuttino Mobley for the go-ahead 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left on the clock for the game winner. Vince Carter had a chance at the buzzer to tip in a perfect pass from out of bounds by Jason Kidd (whom my dear wife noticed had alot of similarities with reigning MVP Steve Nash). However, his tip attempt bounced out. Tough, tough lost for the Nets. Third lost in a row by 1 point. Tough. Vince was amazing as usual. Guess the hometown Clippers finally got into 50% win-loss column. THANK YOU MR. WINSTON E. LIM FOR THE TICKETS!!!!

Crystal's Basic Drawing Lesson 1


Actually, this wasn't intended to be posted on our blog but I do not know any other way of posting it so that my online drawing class teacher can review it. So dear friends, if you see this and wonder what is going on, Jawn and I have signed up for a drawing lesson class individually. Mine is to learn drawing by hand, his is a drawing class using the Wacom tablet.
So dear Miss Jacobs, this is for your personal viewing. Please do not disclose this blog site to others. Thank you.

HOT NEW BAND!!! THE CRYSTALITES!

New on Avex Trax!

OK so ... there is no such band on the face of the earth... but I thought that this photo taken in 2005 of our trip to Japan was pretty cool. Crystal looks a bit like the lead singer of some alternative rock band... hee hee hee... We were in the Yokohama Port Terminal by The Foreign Office Architects. It is known more for the varying sections it has and its topographical, landscapish roof scape. But I must say the ceiling looks pretty cool too!

In Memory of Madam Takako Shirato

Front Row: Abigail Lim, Aunty Chiou Yunn Lim, Gabriel Lim, Pastor Yoh Shirato, Takako Shirato, Michelle Demoret, Rachel Lim.
Back Row: Deacon Gee Han Lim, Jawn Lim, Crystal Lim, Mrs Chin Shung Lim, Elaine, Victor Yang, Ro Wei Mo.

This picture was taken at our second wedding in Singapore. Our sister-in-Christ, Takako Shirato had a bad fall on New Year's Eve and had been comatose for a few days before going back to be with the Lord on Thursday 4th Jan 2007. Our prayers and condolences are with Pastor Yoh Shirato at this time. Pastor Yoh had just graduated from Bob Jones University (PhD) recently and has decided to serve in Singapore as a missionary.

C + J.Lim = ?


One of my favorite pictures from the Wedding... Thought I share this! Makes me looks slim... TIP of the Day for larger husbands: Hide a little behind your wife when taking pictures! It would make you look SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much slimmer! HA HA HA

Dim Sum during Winter...mmmmm

Front Row: Crystal, Jawn, Laura, Christian, Shigeki
Back Row: Hann

We had a good Dim Sum breakfast at Alhambra last month with our friends. Christian has been most inspiring as always. My friend Szue Hann Tan, who is an exchange student at UCLA from the National University of Singapore, took this picture. He really enjoyed the meal and conversation. Shigeki Fujii (he is the guy on the who works at Crystal's architectural lighting design company) was so excited about concept art work (when he went home to saw some of it online), that he bought a WACOM tablet and pen!
