6 in 1
I just had to do this. When I was notified of some my work being accepted into the Japanfluence group, I went to check it out. They were not all put one after another, however it happened so that on the 1st page display, they were all grouped …
Redbubble made me 2 days older...
I’m not 22 yet >__< ! I have stated correctly in my profile that my birthday is April 8th; I just took a peek at my public profile and noticed it saying that I’m 22 now… I could understand if this was due to time difference in different time zones, but it is still April 6th here 6pm! No two cities can be different by more than 24 hrs can it???
Exciting e-mail!
I got an e-mail from a former co-worker from my Japan internship this morning. I miss that lovely little firm; everyone was so young friendly!
So she asked how I was doing and had exciting news for me: one of their houses called the “Roof Bath House” got published in MARK magazine based in the Netherlands; I’m so proud of them! I remember while working at the firm there was suddenly lots of …
Seeking feedback. Would people buy these?
Someone has told me once that they hope I would get to exhibit my origami as a show sometime (I think they’re refering to the mini origami. See my origami gallery).

Origami Passion
The story of my developing passion for origami:
Back in elementary school my teacher read to our class the story of “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes”. While Sadako Sasaki was in the hospital, friends …
Oh my, a feature!
So as I get bubblemail pouring in my inbox daily, I sometimes visit the group which the bubblemail is geared towards, and I got a surprise to see one of my pieces featured in the group for the bubblemail I just read!
A Beautiful Day
On weekends I tend to stay up late nights and sleep in the next day. As a result, I am often reluctant to come out of bed at the start of new week. I thought I would have had an even harder time waking up today because of the long weekend; not to mention the fireworks going off last night. But it was the opposite.
For the first time the sun was shining brightly when I woke up. I wake up at 7…
Thank you Janis Zroback :)
A lovely surprise came to my personal e-mail inbox saying that I had made a sale (yay! – It’s my first sale, thus the whole procedure is all new to me) Today Janis Zroback bought a card of my Sunset with Blue Trees.

Hoping things will be smooth...
In my last journal “Luck plays peek-a-boo” I mentioned that thursday was a frustrating day while yesterday was a good day; but I’m afraid the stuff related to thursday is back to haunt me again; the game of peek-a-boo is still going on…
The upcoming school semestre I’m supposed to go on an exchange to Rome, and I need a study visa. My frustration from last Thursday involved not getting the…
One down; some others to go
I got my Italy visa application submitted today! I made it; I received the remainder of my required documents on Monday; e-mailed my school co-ordinator to ensure they were ok and that I didn’t need anything else. Now to deal with other school prep matters (enrollment, internship work report etc.) – well the remainder is not so bad because they are independant tasks; and I can’t do anything abo…
What a week!
So there was all that hassle with the visa application (glad it’s over and now waiting for it to be approved), and the weather has been pretty dull lately.
Today at work I was sooo bored… The project I was on had reached a stage where we can’t really do anything until we hear back from clients, so I spent the morning looking through the drawings and doing small fixes. We went out for lunch…
Breaking my long silence
I began drawing for Drawing Day Friday evening close to midnight,and it was very hot that day. I went to bed after the first two drawings and woke up in the afternoon. My family and I bid farewell to our father at the airport and on the way back I had my window opened just a bit and had my fingers resting on the edge of the window. However, my brother, who was driving us back, was playing with …
Drawing Day Aftermath
50 pages later and visa update
Went through about 50 pgs of new works on Redbubble this weekend. I don’t always go back to work I missed but the past two weeks have been a bit crazy, hence I did not comment as much, and that is a long time. I could have carried on to my next piece, but then I started thinking that if I was making something which a busy watcher of mine would have really liked, it would be a pity if they decid…
Oh my Gosh! I missed a lot!
The past weekend was my catch-up time for commenting on all the work I missed out on during the time I was busy, and while doing that I missed some other notices!
Wow 3 of my works got featured in the Two Word Challenge group 2 days ago! These challenges may have no winner, but it was definately still worth joining the group and submitting work; ...
Cranes and prayers
Some of you may remember this image For Karin Taylor. I took this picture the day I read Karin Taylor’s journal about her son’s friend Mitchell who was very sick, and many Redbubblers prayed for him. Karin has shown me continuous…

As stated in yesterday’s description, I re-took this image at a higher resolution. Above is what it used to be and now it is like this:

Word goes that this chain of interviews was all started by Jo O’Brian. Jo apprached MuscularTeeth, and I had the pleasure of reading his interview with Karin Taylor and his interview with Butchart...
"Hi Mui-Ling, are you awake? Completely awake? Have you ever been?"
Wow, how many times has my activity monitor asked me that?! :P
Yes Redbubble, I am awake. How about you? Why are the new activites coming in so slowly or not showing up at all? Are YOU awake?
My first avatar :D
A BIG Thank you to those who voted for my Hair Gel Bubbles for the Macro Untouched Challenge! It is now featured in the group as well as being used as the avatar for this month :D

To the special Mar Silva who loves nature and the outdoors.
I couldn’t sleep just now, and went back onto RB, and was surprised to see a sale.
Thank you Mar Sillva for buying a card of Naoshima’s Painted Sky

A nice day...
Began with the sale I was notifed about at 12:30am :P Then went to bed.
On my to work I got off at St. Andrews station, walked through the underground path which passes the Roy Thompson concert hall courtyard. The courtyard has this pool, and today look what I found there:
This pool is ver…
More ducklings!
Remember the ducklings I saw yesterday morning? (see here)
Yesterday I wanted to take more pictures during lunch, but when I went back to the pool I couldn’t find them and thought somehow they made their way “home”. This morning on my way to work I saw them again! That means they really are living in the concert hall courtya…
Today's Duckling Adventures!
This is the last one; I promise! There used to me more ducklings, but today I only saw two. I wanted to do a comic out of this one because it was funny (read the captions below the images :P)

I'll need some time out
Hello all,
As you may have noticed, my comments are coming in slowly… I’m just in a panic because there are a lot of things which I have to get ready for before school. But at the same time I still want to do art.
I was so happy to find this community and do art again; I haven’t enjoyed art this much since high school. In my university program there are no summer vacations; school and i…
Now I may need even more timeout!
I can never be completely away from RB, though I am noticeably spending less time here than I used to. Since my last posting “I’ll need some time out” I have still viewed some new works and commented a bit while I had the time or needed a break; but now I’m really stressed…
As mentioned before, I’ll be going back to school soon; from September, I’m doing an exchange in Rome, and there is a l…
Has been a long week...
Hello friends!
Well things are still pretty busy, but since today was my last day at work I can ease up a bit. The UK visa matters have smoothened out and now all there is left is to wait for an answer; hopefully it will be good. As mentioned before I applied for it last weekend, and the first available date for an appointment was about 4 weeks later, which made me worry that I would not be …
The next 8 months in Europe!
Just got word from the British Embassy that my entry clearance has been issued; yay! I’m surprised how fast that was – they told me it would take 5-15 business days to process – unless those days include delivery (I don’t actually have the visa in my hands right now; only got word that it has been processed and it needs to be delivered to me).
So what this means is the next four months I wil…
My first mystery/t-shirt sale! And I've booked my flight :)
Thank you to the person who bought Pussy Cats Tee! I was out the whole day and I just checked my e-mail and realized somebody bought it about 7 hours ago, but when I logged in to check my bubblemail I didn’t find a BM about the sale, so unfortunately I can’t thank the buyer personally, but I hope he/she knows how grateful I …
Fly away in a week!
My flight to Rome is due Aug 24th, a week + a day from now! I’ve been really busy with the packing and preparation lately; and have been slow on comments; I still come on RB everyday though and look at a few works, and for those new works I haven’t left a comment on, it isn’t because I’m trying to be ignorant! I’ve been running around, but I’m never totally away from the bubble; though I’m less…
Mui-Ling on the WAT????????
I’d like to specially thank the musical Tania Rose for showing her interest in my work. She has interviewed me and just featured me in the blog “Wat is Art?”. This interview focuses mainly on my mini origami. Follow the link here to read!
Well friends, I fly tomorrow...
...and I probably won’t be on RB for a long while. My flight leaves at 8pm, but I’m heading to the airport around 4:30pm. I arrive in Rome on Monday. I hope to do as much sight seeing as I can before classes begin; but aside from that there is a lot of other things I have to do (get cash, buy sketchbook, studio supplies, textbooks, laundry detergent; get some maps…)
So some weeks ago I had…
I've arrived safely in Rome
Just thought I’d send a quick shout saying I’ve arrived in Rome yesterday safely.
Hehe, this art community is like a family; my parents had asked me to e-mail them ASAP once I arrived in Rome. My landlady has asked me to be very careful because I’m very young and Italy can be dangerous (I wonder if she knows how old I really am – I’m a shorty so I tend to look younger than my actual age). S…
Rome photos
I still have many more photos to upload; but I need time to organize them. In addition I’m thinking that I may wait till after the semestre is over and put all the albums into one place as opposed to having many journals each with different albums. I may still show a few photos from time to time, but eventually I’ll share EVERYTHING. But here is something for starters, and I’ll link these agai…
Back to school tomorrow... and more pictures
Well friends, my week of site-seeing ends here. So to recap, last wednesday I saw the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, The Piazza Del Popolo, Piazza Napoleone and more. I’ve posted some albums on my last journal and I’ve added a new one from that day:
Piazza Barberini and Piazza Del Popolo
On Saturday I went to St….
I'll be away
Well not that I’ve been extremely active; most of you already know that I haven’t been active since school started again. But anyhow I just wanted you all to be aware that I will be away from Sept 25th – 29th. I’m going south for a school field trip visiting Cuma, Baia, Pompei, Capri, Paestum and Sperlonga.
The past week I had two big deadlines; one was a casestudy of the Tiber Island, where…
I'm Back! And a belated thank you to a mystery buyer!
Hello all, I got back from my field trip today.
First we went to Cumae. When we got off the bus there was this cute little doggy coming up to us:
The prof told us not to pet it, though severa…
Mystery buyer revealed; thank you Tania Rose! And Everyone!
The mystery buyer has been revealed!
Posting journals on mystery sales really can give answers; and I’m glad my mystery buyer saw my journal – and that she knew I was away (I’m assuming…)
So thank you once again Tania Rose...
I found a home
Just felt like sharing.
I saw a new place today and claimed it right away. I learned from experience that I have to decide quickly before I lose my chances. I’ve been interested in a few places before, which got taken even before I had a chance to check them out! I once even had a response from an agent one morning and replied immediately that I wanted to see the place, only to hear back tha…
3cm of joy sqeezed it's way through the stress
It’s a busy time at school now; a big group project due in less thatn two weeks; but within all that time we have many tours around Rome so we don’t really find the time to meet up and work. Furthermore I’m still living far from school (I’ll be moving closer to the new place after my deadline; otherwise I have to start paying rent sooner), and still doing my laundry by hand – don’t know if I’ll…
I've moved!!! And I go away again tomorrow!!!
Hello all! Just got through a really busy week; had a project deadline at school (that big planning project I was stressing about in my last journal) two days ago, which was presented yesterday. Because of this big project I did not have time to pack until yesterday evening. Well since I didn’t bring a lot to Rome initially I didn’t stay up too late packing – I needed to arrive early today so l…
I'm back! And busy busy busy...
Hello all; I’ve just come back from the field trip mentioned in my last journal. I had a very good time; especially the last place: Venice! Though unfortunately that is also where my camera broke yesterday. Bummer it was indeed but it could’ve been worse – a classmate’s camera got stolen yesterday. My preview screen got punctured so it doesn’t display anything anymore – still can take pictures,...
School Almost Over!
I just finished the biggest project deadline at school!
It’s already has been hard enough keeping up here in the bubble since coming back to school; although at the least I’ve made the effort to log in occasionally just to see what’s going on. However, for nearly 3 weeks I had not even the time log in to RB. I’ve been constantly working on my studio project at school getting no more that 4 h…
London bound...
Very soon I’m flying to London; on the 18th. I’m not going back to Canada first after all because I’m too broke to fly back to Canada then to London. So although the biggest project at school is over, things are still pretty busy with packing, cleaning and seeing as much of Rome as I can before I leave (hence I’m still quite inactive on RB and eagar to catch up when I can). I’ve also been gathe…
