I just got back from seeing "Castle in the Sky".

A friend of mine is a big World of Warcraft fan so I made him the pendant of Saurfang (a orc hero warrior from the game).

Wow

@Zuljaras Nice.

I drew the Boy and Girl students 23 Mascot for the Parents Board this academic year.
They are Shigeki (Boy) and Yumiko (Girl).

@TeaCatherine Thank you

Phew...
Today was pretty busy.
There was a meeting with the parents for the explanation of new class teachers, the class rules, the minimum scores for each subjects, etc before the students go back to school.
Also, the parents could pick the school books order this afternoon after the meeting.
I have some duty to handle two graduated students today to have three fingers stamp on their certificates.
This week is very busy for my school to prepare the class before the beginning of academic year on next Monday.

I believe that from time to time I should post some of my failures

Today I tried to draw this and it is terrible

I have to practice more if I want to make this Zelda scene work in watercolors

The beginning of year academic will be start on next week and I will give the students interesting drawing activities for grade 3 - 6 students.
Here is my plan.

For grade 3 students, I prepared a worksheet paper with two blank spaces to draw their emotional feelings in person. They have to choose the emotional feelings they want to explain and they have to write down what make them happy / sad / angry / scared after drawing the emotional feelings.

For grade 4 students, I will ask them to draw their future goal "I want to be" to encourage their initiative to think about their future and their talents. They have to draw the job that they want to be in the future on the blank space and they have to write down their job choice, the reason of their choice, what will they do after get their dream and how will they pursue their dream.

For grade 5 & 6 students, they will draw Boy or Girl students according to my examples Shigeki and Yumiko but they are allowed to modify the student looking as their desire then they have to make a table of 5 / 6 Things to Improve Myself so it will be their reminder and self reflection what things they want to improve themselves by study hard for certain lessons or fixing their behavior or learning something new.

Hopefully my plans will working fine.

Usually foods that are white are vary creamy and whatnot, and idk, here taste is just, I don’t like it lol. But rice, oh boy, it can be salty, you can put butter on it, you can go in sushi, while not the biggest fan you can fry it, it can be moist, soft, rice can do so many things! It’s one of the world most perfect foods!

@Snatcher
Speaking about rice, this is my favorite rice dishes from Indonesia.

Lemper

Nasi Kuning or Yellow Rice

@Anti-Matter the 2nd one looks like something dreams are made of

@Zuljaras haha perhaps for that level of detail you do need a larger canvas. Still looks good though.

@Eel Haha thank you. I have to start painting on normal sized paper (currently I cut A4 in half) but I do not have a movable plate to "glue" the paper on

@Zuljaras cutting boards and food trays work well for that!

@Eel OMG! I forgot that I've got the perfect old flat baking tray! Genious!

@Zuljaras Necessity is the mother of the inventions

Would it be a bad idea to take a laptop on a cruise. Obviously I won’t use it outside of when I’m laying in the room at night, but still.

If you don’t mind using your laptop while you could be doing something else, like enjoying the cruise ship…. Then there’s probably nothing stopping you from taking your laptop with you.

@Professor_Plumber @Eel
Probably won’t take it, my switch will be enough. Not like I’m gonna use it much anyway.
