How does one make tea?
Clean, fresh water –
Overflowing from the fountain springs of life,
Brimming joyfully
An assortment of tea leaves, in a handful
The aroma drifting in the air –
the sweetness of love and care,
the jasmine scent of hope,
and the lingering fragrance of age and experience
A balanced warmth,
fanned by the tender flames of passion
tempered by the cool porcelain of the teapot
A healthy dose of patience,
Slowly given –
Waiting
The ritual of tea –
sincerely, meticulously
hands steady, breath held,
both execution and adventure
And at last –
there it is
The perfect brew.

“Harmony ripens in the quiet rituals and steadfast companionship of love.
热带风情，细水长流。”
oil on canvas

Ah Ma always came home with rambutans. A whole bunch – red, ripe and hairy – tied up with twine. She’d drop them into a big porcelain bowl on the kitchen counter, pluck a few, and eat it by the window, looking out. None of her children ever knew why – until much later.
It was Ah Gong. She said he never brought flowers, but he’d come back from the market on Rambutan Road with fruit so fresh the stems were still damp. The first time, she scolded him for spending money. The second time, she peeled one for him without a word.
That became their rhythm. Evenings under the frangipani tree after dinner, the air thick with the scent of night blooms. The radio playing the famous Hokkien songs of the day, cicadas humming in the dark. He always saved the last piece of rambutan for her, and every time, she would peel it for him, slipping the sweeter half into his palm. They never said “I love you.” But it echoed in the silence.
Decades passed. Their children grew up. Rambutans came packed in netting now, bought from the supermarkets, no longer freshly plucked but stacked under cold fluorescent lights. And Ah Gong was long gone.
But she would forever remember the evening night, music playing, the sweetness of the rambutan on her lips…
In the tropical hush, fruits and petals gather. A quiet harmony, ripened over a lifetime of love.
Harmony in love is not always loud or declared – sometimes, it’s in the small, steady gestures repeated over a lifetime, and the unspoken understanding between two people. The quiet rituals anchor us, and shared tradition keep love alive long after words are gone.

“The essence of love remains even when memories fade.
深情常在。”

Across time and tide, fish appears in many guises — dried, grilled, salted, or swimming in porcelain blue.
Yet no matter how its shape shifts, one image stays with us:
that familiar, quiet presence on grandmother’s table,
the scent of home, wrapped in banana leaves and history.
In the hush of recollection,
we do not remember the recipe, nor the seasoning —
only the essence:
a fish rendered in care, served in love,
and etched forever in the plate of memory.
鱼的模样可以千变万化，
但记忆只留下那一条——
那年饭桌上的味道，
那是家的模样，也是心中不变的形状。
Memories fade with time, shedding details until everything blurs. Only love survives this distillation: shapes shift, seasons pass, love endures in its purest form – simple, timeless, unforgettable.

“Every small courage deserves a witness.
小小勇气，值得嘉许。“

The bear had seen many great adventures – tea parties, blanket forts, daring expeditions under the dining table.
But today felt special.
His little human sat across him, staring very seriously at a fruit. Not a toy fruit or the plastic kind that he played with – but a real one. Round, purple, mysterious. “It looks weird,” the child whispered. The bear silently agreed.
Still, when the bite finally came – a squish, a pause, and then a burst of sweetness – the bear watched it happen: surprise widening into laughter, and laughter into pure delight.
Something in his soft, stitched chest swelled with pride. This was bravery – the first taste of something new, something real.
And so he sat, smiling quietly beside the last fig, knowing that growing up begins just like this – a little courage, a little sweetness, and someone to share it with.

“Endurance in the return of beauty, strength and dignity after battle.
战痕犹在，花开依旧。”
oil on canvas
51x51cm
The war horse trudged through the field of daisies - weary but proud.
He had seen many battles. Felt the weight of history on its back.
The clash of metal, the thunder of drums, and the silence that loomed after the storm. Scars formed a silver web on its dark hide, each one an echo of horrors he would never forget.
But now, surrounded by soft petals and golden light, he walked not to conquer, but to remember.
Children tinkled in the fields, their laughter like merry windchimes. A bell rang faintly from the village road. And somewhere, a faint melody drifted across the fields.
The horse trudged on. Each step stirred up a quiet flurry of crimson dust. The daisies, once trampled by the march of time, had finally bloomed again.
Endurance is not only about conquering, but also life after the battle – when healing softens the scars and the flowers bloom again. It is the quiet, healing strength that carries on, restoring dignity, memory and hope across time.
