Doodles

Best pre-dinner doodling I've seen in my life!

Met new friends over dinner after my back-to-back boat trips on a Sunday evening. Particularly interesting when almost the entire table was feeling the same type of unexplainable physical and mental discomfort - possibly the mixture of being dehydrated, hung over and the constant rocking of a boat. This symptom hit our hungry souls as soon as we sat down. Squinting, trying to figure out what our bodies were dealing with, the only phrase that made sense was simply "we're just so out of it".

Big pieces of paper, colourful crayons and a 15-minute wait for lemon iced teas to come were calling for our artsy sides. My grand master piece was that piranha flower above that came right out of the Mario game. The biting of the robot's hand was unintentionally though. Pure accident. 

If I were to pick one of my most often used sentences, it'd be 'I wish I could draw'. EVERYONE has heard me say that at least once before. Seeing what this new friend, an illustrator for video games, could do with just a few crayons has made me all giddy inside and out. I mean, look at his robot! And his Forever Alone meme as well, of course. My poor piranha has instantly become an amateur (note: piranha is already way better than my normal matchstick men).

Ribs/pepperoni pizza/pesto chicken pizza/linguine vongole/penne arrabiata at Pepperoni's in Sai Kung. Ultimate comfort food after a long day in the water!

And the best part of our food coma? Seeing the doodles again after the waitress cleared the table! Oh hello there again, piranha!

My bottom left wisdom tooth has been hurting lately, to the point where I'm having trouble chewing. I hope the meds from the dentist work so I don't need to pull it out :(
