My mini exhibition was over. It was a two days event, and it would not have been successful without the help from my family and friends to helped setting up my booth and taking care of the little technical and lighting issues I know nuts about. The boxes were useful indeed. My tags and little descriptions were also proved to be of importance. And the poems that were tagged in most of the paintings helps to connect the paintings to the viewers.
Saturday was a good crowd and I was thankful to see my Dean who came down to support, bringing along a korean prof to see my humble mini exhibition. My Assoc Dean came down also, bringing me a packet of pot purri as a gift. She bought one of my paintings for her office room, my Dean commissioned me to paint a new one for his living room, my ex colleague who came down and bought two boards etc. Some colleagues also came down to support and friends. Thankful to Ruifu and Ginnise who accompanied me the whole of the 1st day. And I am esp thankful and touched by my family who was ever so supportive and stayed with me throughout. Karen and her "salty" hubby came down too and helped to "close" my exhibition on sunday. And I am very thankful to my sister who accompanied me for the two days event too and asking her close friends to come down to support as well.
I am glad to have chatted with a few friendly strangers, and exchanged email addresses and ideas. I have a tiring yet great experience! And yes, I will plan a second one but not so soon, probably in the next 4 or 6 mths so that I am ample time to work on new ones and this time, I am going to do on BIG BIG BOARDS.

But I find those exhibits at the far end of the room rather dark... the cyalume sticks didn't help much... But you will know better the next time round.

Ling Feng! You went? Why didnt you come up and say hi?? Yeah, the sticks are suppose to create some "mood" and effect. I find the three walls too empty and I got too little hooks.....and my boards aint alot too! Next time will use more boards to fill the empty walls! Thank you for coming down tho! Next time say hi la!
You were busy entertaining friends mah. Haha...
I was there around the time when you went to get the printed T-Shirts. And then you are with friends again... haha...
Will do. Next time I will say hi!

The greatest reward is the supports from your family and friends.
