朋友

昨天与一同学美术的中学同学一块聚餐。我们也已认识了二十出年了吧！说也奇怪，同班也不过只有两年，而自从毕业以后，我们也最多一年见上一两回面，但大家的感情还算蛮好的。当中也有好几位已彼此成立了非常要好的友谊。不需常见面，但一旦见了面，便有谈不完的话题，这就是朋友的定义吧！

当中有许多也已成立了家庭，生儿育女。大家也在不同的领域努力，有的离乡背井，有的还在执著与美术有关的行业，有的则为家人奋斗，各自怀着不同的目标与目的努力生活。也只有在象昨天的那种环境里，大家一同约好停下脚步，歇息一下下，聚一聚。

其实我还蛮珍惜这群好友。回想十几年前吧，我时常在那时祷告，希望这群朋友有一天也会了解与接受耶稣对他们的爱，我恳切地祷告与祈求着，因为我过去的想法很单纯（其实现在也是），只有这样，大家才能做永永远远的朋友。这也是我唯一不敢自私，自己独享的礼物。

今天也以华文书写，因为有一位老同学看到我上周也用华文写我的Blog (布罗格？)，数落了我一番，是乎不敢相信我还会用华文书写，这就是我，不肯认输的我。虽写的不好，不过我还是写了！朋友，服了吗？希望有一天你也会和我一同去教堂。我们有约哟！

感激

已三个月没画画了。也许是工作回家后都已觉得蛮累了，根本提不起劲，头脑似乎也空空的，没有什么灵感。

前几天收到一份包裹，第一眼还以为是好友寄上他们的画展请帖，所以也就没立即打开来看。（朋友，不好意识，当时真的有一点累。）洗澡过后，打开一看，原来是一本几米的书，一本曾听他们问我有没有买的书，如果没有，想送我。我之前也还以为他们是开个玩笑，没想到他们真把书给寄来了，好感动！朋友，谢谢你们，你们旅行还好玩吧！我是蛮喜欢这作者的书，但时常觉得他的书太感伤了。这本道出他的图书的故事来源，我在短短的几天就要看完了。谢谢你们的鼓励，有好朋友真的好幸福。

也因为如此，今天破例，我用华文书写，表示感激。我真的很享受画这些小图画的过程。但也许也已画了快三年，有一点累了，我开始想突破，画出一些能改变人的小图画。我的意识是，我开始贪心了，希望它们能带一点点快乐给悲伤的人，掀起一点点希望给放弃的人，让人看了心理有股温软涌上心头。我没打算改变世界，只希望朋友看了脸上多了个微笑，多了点勇气，这就是我的私心。也许也就因为这样，我开始想认真的改进我上色的方法，并认真的想想自己应该如何继续。

I finally touched my paintbrush again today, and finally painted one of my sketches that I did months ago. I really enjoyed the process, thanks, friends, the "book" encouraged me to pick up the paintbrush to paint again. And yes, I will not be posting much work these days, I am thankful to Daddy God, that this blog has started me drawing again for the last 3 years. Many sweet memories evoked in the process, and many of the works posted here have been my practicing ground, as means for me to improve and experiment. I enjoyed this blog, and enjoyed drawing for this blog, however, it has come to a point that you may hardly see new work now, not that I have stopped drawing, no worries, I will continue, because this is what I love to do, but I hope to keep them to myself first, maybe occasionally will share some here.

The above will mark almost the last artwork for this blog for the meantime. A piece that I greatly loved, but I wished I did it with shadow effect to express the depth I wanted to create, may touch up someday. This is one piece that I did not actually want to publish, but think it is good to end with a favourite, so here it goes. I think I will still continue writing though. Cheers. Jesus loves us!
