Trip to Malacca.

I have no regret going to Malacca and visited a remarkable artist. Walking to a narrow road and reached his shop and also his house, I can see he used a lot of recycle materials such as sea shells and marbles in decorating the entrance of his house. When entered, there are a lot of small paintings and postcards display in there. There are also a small office and we were greeted by his son (I forgot his name). While waiting for Mr. Tham to come back, we wandered around to look at his creations. I asked a few questions about his painting. One of them is how we measure the price of the painting. His son told me that it is depends on how long is the picture. Mr. Tham came back to his shop and we met with him face to face. We were divided into three groups and began our tour into Mr. Tham’s life and passion.

It is remarkable to see the world of an artist and how they perceive life. I am bit jealous of him and how I wish to become an artist. To become an artist to me is like having a Romantic Spirit. To be free and untangle from rule, norms and burden of society. How I wish to become like that.
