p.s. the cats seem to really like this house. they settle in really quickly. this evening as i sat in the patio drawing, tessy came out and walked round the patio. but i really need to get a dehumidifier soon. the floor is always damp. the humidity is really high and especially on the ground floor. i also need to get my working table set up soon, my shoulder and neck are aching real bad...
oh so much to do! yes! loving every minute! and i am flying off next thur to delhi then to dharamsala to see my teachers (to get blessing before i start thangka school officially in nepal in june). oh i miss them dearly.

oh! btw, kim (my 'see jie' just called from nepal, she got 3rd place in the graduating final year exam! yeah! congratulations!) oh i wish i was there to see ang babu and chimme graduate! but i really couldnt find time becos of the move. oh haha jerome from france is wearing the traditional tibetan man chuba. oh this photo exudes such good energy, looking at it i feel such joy! first place goes to ani karma yeshe, a nun from philippines. second place goes to monk sonam from tibet. kim has set the standard really high for laypeople especially for us foreigners. oh i hope i can be the next formally trained non-tibetan thangka artist (6 years later! haha..) and help preserve in which ever little way i can of this 'karma gadri' style of thangka which is facing extinction. there is only a handful of people who are trained in tibetan art especially foreigners. i must work hard.

yeah i will meet up with kim in dharamsala next fri. she will fly from kathmandu and we will be off to see the HH the karmapa on the 11th and maybe talk about paintings!

a meaningful quote for the week

''If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.'' - HH the 14th Dalai Lama.

Kyurii What I Wear Today!

yes yes, you may pre-order this new dress by emailing to leekeng. 0322-010 leather corset belt selling fast this one! there will be NEW ARRIVALS coming up this tuesday! check them out at WWW.KYURII.COM

p.s hey girls you will be seeing some new backgrounds for our 'what i wear today' layouts. this is taken along my new route to the pier. hehe... i like this damaged wicker sofa.. makes quite a nice background yah...

i moved in smoothly!!

this is taken on moving day. i already dumped or gave away many stuff but it seems like i still have quite a lot... well after all its been 10 years in hk. the movers lined up all the stuff waiting for the VV (the only vehicle you can find on lamma island, used for transporting goods). at the new place! spacious living room for shooting! yeah! haha tessy and the other 2 cats are loving this place. i am surprised how quickly they settle in. tessy even went round the patio to sniff it out. i can sit here and paint, facing the beautiful trees. this is the patio at the side. shifted the bbq pit edwina bought here, so that we can hang a hammock at the front porch. the evening light... i need to get used to this house. it is much more open than my previous one. any of my guests can open the gate themselves (sometimes i dun hear them opening) and then they suddenly appeared at the sliding door (like the man who delivered gas to the house yesterday! ah!) haha.. i had better be properly dressed all the time. every house has its own character. yesterday and today when i came back from the village, i saw my neighbour's dog coming out of the house. haha.. as if he is my dog coming to the gate to greet me. he is so cute. his name is 'koo koo'. haha.. i feel i am to experience living with openness and complete trust in this house. one with the insects. one with the trees. one with the sky. one with everyone. i feel this is an open but very grounded house (thats good). becos its on the ground floor with lots of big trees around (the roots help to pull the energy downwards when one gets too airy fairy. haha my own theory). staying open and flexible but grounded with strong principles. this is a very important spiritual practise for me. and yes of coz, the prayer flags are up! yeah so happy! it makes such a difference to the house. i feel this house is totally protected and blessed. like there is an auspicious aura surrounding this space. i am so lucky to have them blessed by thrangu rinpoche. i have to personally say thank you to him when he comes to hk end of next month. and flying in the wind, bringing blessings to all of you in singapore... and everyone everywhere! i am having a housewarming plus yanyan's birthday party this fri! all the guests can then write their names on the blessed flags. i have written mine down already. it is guru rinpoche mantra printed on the flags which help to remove obstacles that hinder us towards the path to enlightenment. hee.. may all of you reading now, receive the blessings too. ok i am going to take an early night tonite and start shooting tomorrow for the new launch coming up this tuesday! love to all...

one last pose!

hey girls, to express gratitude to this house (which has been a great space to work in and great energy and provided us with a lot of good backgrounds to shoot with, oh and of coz a wonderful wonderful rooftop to do my painting! ) and to celebrate my move to another house in lamma, we are giving special discounts off our very recent items! 25MAR HOUSE MOVING SALE WWW.KYURII.COM starts tomorrow morning!

p.s. btw 25mar (thur) is an extremely good day according to the tibetan calendar. its an auspicious and wish-fulfiling day, so maybe you like to make a little wish (a good wish that will benefit everyone would surely come true! hee). it is a wind-wind element day which is extremely beneficial for spiritual pursuits and traveling, allowing you to quickly attain your goals. haha its also my life number day, i am a no.7! 2+5=7! haha

ok i will talk to you again real soon from the new house once my internet is up! hugs.. have fun on this auspicious day! haha..

emptiness

hey girls! i am moving tomorrow! in conjunction with that, we are having a little 'farewell house!' promotion tomorrow! to express our gratitude to this wonderful house that has given me so much peace and joy. discount will be given on many many items that were shot in my house, let us all take one last look at the beautiful backgrounds this house has provided for kyurii. : )

oh i am packing whole day today.. as i see the house getting emptier and emptier. impermanence is truly a reality. nothing in this life lasts. everything changes wih the passing moment.

also, there is no inherent existence in things, in what we call 'I'. we are all empty of inherent existence. today i exist as the 'owner' of this house. tomorrow i am 'guest' of this house. (this house is rented to my friend's friends who will take over tomorrow). last weekend i existed as the 'tenant' of the house giving a farewell party to my friends, next weekend i will exist as a 'guest' invited to this house for a housewarming party. haha.. therefore the 'i' is 'empty' of any identity but at the same, it is 'everything'.

'only by things being empty
can things be possible at all.' - nagarjuna.

'the presence of space makes it possible for the whole universe to set out within it, and yet this does not alter or condition space in any way. although rainbows appear in the sky, they do not make any difference to the sky; it is simply that the sky makes the appearance of rainbow possible. phenomena adorn emptiness, but never corrupts it.' - 'the heart of compassion' a commentary on the 37 practises of the bodhisatva by HH Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

so beautiful... great great book. i am reading the book a second time.

thank you house for this little but extremely valuable glimpse of 'emptiness' ('shunyata' - its my favourite buddhism topic). i still have a lot to learn, investigate, explore and then practise in my life.
