floating market bangkok

It took us 1 hour to visit the floating market and after spending 1 hour there we headed back to bangkok that took us 3 hours to reach the hotel. But the visit was good minus the overcrowded tourist , infact there are more tourist in the boat then the locals..so i did a quick sketch of a genuine local trader selling noodles to the shopkeepers along the river banks.

Bangkok

Ahhh.. bangkok again..traffic is terrible.. friendly people. big city. I always like to ride the traditional transportation wherever I go. In Bangkok it is called tuktuk..noisy, but fast I mean very fast..

KL Bangkok by Malaysia airlines

they sure have cut the cost heavily.. The food is getting into a smaller container , but I do like the satay..The quality is much better quite tasty for Asian palate, my westerner passenger beside me do not seems to like the fried rice, but he took the satay quite fast..sorry buddy..

another sketch of batu pahat

another sketch at the jetty...I think I have to open Moira Huntly 'how to draw a boat' again and again....

my village by the sea

yesterday i visited my father back home in Batu Pahat Johor. our place is near the sea ( malacca straits) where fishing is one of the main income. I sat down under the tree near the jetty and began sketching the boats and people around it . It is a quite morning... I found out it is not easy to draw boats and water..

my instruments

Everybody have their own working instruments . So am I, my instruments is quite complicated. Everyday I am looking and using it and yesterday I decided to sketch it on my moleskine with fountain pen and ink.

Vietnam

Just to publish my sketch in the blog for safekeeping. This is vietnam Ho Chi Min city .. a busy with lots and lots of motorcycles. I like the telephone wire jumble up in the sky and its friendly people. Lots of the building reflecting a french colonial era but many have been torn down for the same reason...
