Hellooo. It's the 16th of March, sunny day here. So yesterday, I turned 27! I had a nice lie-in in the morning even though the weather was rainy, and in the evening my family and I went out for a meal. We went to the restaurant called Wildwood that recently opened and not been there, so I thought we could try it out. I had 'Beyond Meat' Vegan Burger and it was DELICIOUS! I had a marvellous birthday. Anyway, today I'm spending my day-off, from work, to do recreate new version from my old drawing that I drew 3 years ago. This is the original illustration from 3 years ago, a quick drawing with a fine-line pen. Now scroll down for the reveal... With colours! For this, you now know what kind of bird and be mesmerising by the chaffinch's colours. Have a good day.  🎂🐦

I remembered this blog  Discovered My Ancestors' Creativity , that I wrote when I was in Final year in university. The one that mentioned with the handmade owls calendar that my great grandmother made, I remembered my lecturer asked if I have the photograph of it. I told her I found it in Summer 2014 when my family and I packed my grandma's stuff for her to move into care home, then I couldn't find it many months later, for the blog.  Well, guess what, I found it! It was in a small box full of old photos of my family (on my mum's side), as well as really old photos of my ancestors (also on my mum's side) back in the late 1800s. So there, this is what it's look like that my great grandmother made in 1969, a 1970 handmade owls calendar. Have a lovely day. 

I looked at my old CV that i made in college. Though this doesn’t work well, I may make it simple or including my sketches of bird. In my mind, i find this  cringe. *Blushed*
