Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2 (Step 3)

"Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2", Acrylic On Canvas, 122cm x 122cm, Year: 2011.

This time I painted myself hidden under my grandmother's bed - to avoid my father - that was the time he caned me badly... I did not even know why he was always angry with me during that period??!! :-(

Another scene that I added in, was about frequently playing badminton 'with the wall' in the living room after school, and sometimes joined in by my second brother for a double-play. It happened once that I hit and broke my grandfather's photo glass-frame on the wall, which I denied and 'pushed' everything to my brother's doing...  However, of course finally my mother and grandmother somehow found out I was the culprit... :-( 

Painting along the way, I also added in my friend and his mother on the left side of the painting... :-)

Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2 (Step 2)

"Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2", 122cm x 122cm, Acrylic On Canvas, Year: 2011.

This time I input more details on the figures and the structure of the kitchen toilet.  As you can see, my nanny was holding a plastic ladle in the toilet. On the left side of the canvas, I also added another view where I could see from my home kitchen side-window; most of the time, I was able to see my kindergarten classmate - Wu Ming, who was living at 10th floor then.

Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2 (Step 1)

"Time & Space - Sweet Memory 2", 122cm x 122cm, Acrylic On Canvas, Year: 2011.

I was beginning to remember things when I was living in Toa Payoh.  My house was a three-room unit facing Guan Qian Cinema then.  My grandmother hired a Singapore nanny to take care of us (4 boys, and I am the third one) because my father, mother and her needed to go to work from early morning till late afternoon/evening.

In my K1 and K2 years, almost everyday I did not look forward to bath time because I was too afraid that the soap and water might enter my eyes, so half-way through the bath I always ended up running out of the toilet - all the way naked, heading for the living room...  When my grandmother came back from work and noticed me, she would cane me badly.

Time & Space - Sweet Memory 1 (Step 6)

"Time & Space - Sweet Memory 1", Acrylic On Canvas, 122cm x 122cm, Year: 2011.

Finally I added in the fog, and a boy rushing into it!  Besides, I also highlighted those students standing outside the principal's room, and one of them looked fearful.  Meanwhile I also covered a second layer of paint to some areas (such as the classroom 10 scene), and added in another girl and a creepy bat (below the fan) in the classroom.

Time & Space - Sweet Memory 1 (Step 5)

"Time & Space - Sweet Memory 1", 122cm x 122cm, Acrylic On Canvas, Year: 2011.

This time I painted the school field where sometimes in the early morning, I could see a fog floating in mid-air (of course I have not painted it out yet).  At the upper area, I also added in three more students lining up at the corridor, prepared to meet the principal - most of them were actually quite fearful in their hearts.
