When I was young, I always had an interest in art (as in drawing... and not photoshop, you new-age techy people!). I enrolled in art classes when I was 10 and had been going for those lessons until I was 17. I actually wanted to become a graphics designer or an architect... but nearing my later teens, as I took art as a subject in SPM, my interest in art faded... and art was just a subject that could help me get an extra grade. I no longer had the passion... drawing only to 'answer' the exam question.
Anyway, I never regretted taking the art lessons. I had won prizes in several art competitions thanks to them. I still believe I have a bit of artistic views in me, that made me look at things in a more interesting way. So here's a tiny tribute to my art teacher... he has actually seen me grow from the little kid in primary school to the adolescent teenager in the end of my high school days. Mr Nick Loong... he always drove a yellow Fiat Coupe. I sat in his car a few times, and he'll VROOM VROOM... Not sure whether he's still driving the same car. The ladies in my family think he's very good looking. I remember the first day I went for class, and my lil' sis (who should only be 7 then) was charmed by his good looks and wanted to enrol too! He should be nearing 40s now... wonder whether he's still not married hahah.
Just so to clarify that I did not randomly suddenly think of my art teacher... here's a news article that came out in The Star today... that brought me back the memories... I wish Mr Nick all the best!

ahah pandai pandai...=)
yes im pretty sure he still owns the coupe, im clueless as to his marital status, and if u ask me, i still think he's quite a looker...*shrugs*
Hahhah funny thing is I remember he sold the old Fiat Coupe and bought another one... the exact same colour! Apparently, it's a newer model with new features... but it looked the same to me. Oh well, artists are a complex lot.
kev, u r rite man....nick does look gud at the age of 40!!!! (if he is really 40) no wonder yr sis fell for his good look. i believe he is probably even better when he was younger then.
Hahhah, you know any potential suitors? I remember at one year, he was really grumpy, we thought that must be his mum pressuring him to get married... hahhah.
