I've moved...

That's right.... I have moved to yeanchinglee.com.

Granny

Was at the dining table with my granny...
Initially I wanna just take my medicine and head straight up to my room, but my eyes just stop at granny, thinking to myself, my granny is really old. She was somewhat struggling to hold the spoon. I put my medicine aside, take the spoon from her and fed her.

I remember those days when she was still energetic, she has hundred and one thing to complain about me. I was so annoyed when she did that, but now I kinda miss hearing those complains. I miss hearing her voice. It's been awhile since I last see her laugh.

When I was little, for some weird reason... I used to think that my grandparent will stay with me forever. I know they are older then me, but in my mind I didn't know that they will passed away. I am very attached to my grandparents, especially my father's side.

I love my family.

Launch of my FIRST project

Yup, it's out! Plan on this project few months back. I am really glad that it's finally out. This will definitely gets better. Will improve in time. Never know to it's so difficult to get the right type of kraf paper.

My mind filled with ideas again, but got to shelf it for now. We will surely work on improving i_kl project. It's really fun to work with freeform.

A little promo here, if you like this.. you can place your order with me. It can be a good Christmas gift as well =)

not so cool

Not cool. I am stress to the MAX! Emotionally not doing well, hence... idea not coming out. I am not inspired, I am not motivated.

I want to run away. I want to hide. Not cool at all.

I felt so cramped up.

It's been a month...

It's been a month now since the my climbing kaki, Dusan fell from the Himalayan Mountain. Been praying for his safety... report tells that the changes of finding him alive is almost ZERO! But God is God that's able. Still hoping for the best.

Wonder if the rescue team still searching for him?

Without Vision People Perish

Now I understand this phrase - without vision, people perish. God indeed knows that we need vision. Vision is what keeps people do what they do. Even if we are doing what we love, without vision our love and passion for something will die too.

Vision + Passion = blossom.

Letterpress

Visited ROYAL PRESS, Malacca today. It was fun! Something out of the box! These are one of the thing that I make my job fun.

The Royal Press was form in the 1940s' by the Ee family. They were the one who printed the very first Mandarin Newspaper in Malaysia.

Us, the inexperience ones, getting our hands dirty, trying to compose something. Mind you, this place have tonnes of mozzies! Next trip down, got to remember to bring insects repellent, my boss' main job is to "pak man" (direct translation from cantonese to english is beat mosquitoes =p)

Most of the workers that work there has been with the company for 50 years!

 

One of the old machine that I found during my tour at Royal Press. Not too sure if this is still functioning. But yeah, it really amaze me.

Blocks of different sizes and fonts

This is how they file the customer's blocks. Yeah, for repeats, got to go through each trays.

This auntie has been working in with Royal Press for 50 years! She is the one in charge of composing. She knows exactly where things are. She is really cute too =)

Blocks are tied using string! Everything are manually done.

Not too sure what machine is this, but i assume is one of the letterpress machine?

He used to work in Bukit Cina, and he has been working with royal press for 10 years! He is the one in charge of printing.

We are going to do some test print using this machine. Best part about letterpress is that we can even print on namecard size paper! *Light bulb* moment =)

 

Our work, not too bad eh? Love it!

In the effort of keeping the art of letterpress. Still brewing with the idea. This place, not just contains the art of letterpress, but also rich in culture. 

Btw, I steal some papers back too =p
