But at times we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, and the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. Let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight! Warmest Regards.

While living in London, she attended clay modeling evening classes and found a lot of satisfaction in creating different shapes and movement s with clay. After many years had passed (and 3 children later!), she once again started modeling in a studio in Bukit Tunku in 2011. She m oved to current Segambut art studio in 2013. She mostly works with clay, raw or fired and recently has taken an interests in mixing medias too.
