I like capturing my daily life as comics. It helps me slow down and process what’s been happening recently. In this dairy comic, this is what I’ve been doing recently during the month of March 2025. And I focused on the more Singaporean things I did- Entering a new apartment with a pineapple, trying to be considerate to the neighbours below us, waking up to send my daughter to primary school, and enjoying good local food.

I started work on this illustration when I was travelling every day to cat-sit at Bishan for my friend Rebecca who was overseas. The time spent waiting for the bus, travelling and exploring was a nice break from my usual WFH life. Bishan is also one of my favourite estates with its signature brick roof and geometric pattern designs on the HDB buildings. Initially, I wanted the unique bus stop to be the key focus of the illustration, but my obsession with cats also got in the way. Ultimately, I just wanted to show the passing of time and a sense of nostalgia for a place that was once my childhood home.

Every weekday morning, my wife and I would take the public bus with our two young daughters to send them to school. On some days, the bus is packed, and after making sure they’re safely seated, I often find myself standing or seated apart, watching them from a distance. These quiet moments, observing their little exchanges, have become a cherished part of my daily routine.

As a children’s book illustrator, I was inspired by the boundless imagination, childlike wonder and creativity that storytelling invites. I often use traditional art materials, so the red dot immediately reminded me of a blob of red paint. For me, the paint palette represents endless possibilities - to create, dream and imagine new worlds. My cat, Momo, appears peacefully sleeping in the corner, a quiet presence in my daily life. My approach to this illustration was more abstract, guided more by spontaneity and emotion. It reflects what “My Everyday in Singapore” feels like to me and my hopes for the future.
