About Me

My name is Edith Chan. I am a designer and illustrator based in Seattle, USA. I love dreaming, writing and drawing. Pencils and paint brushes are my magical wands giving my imaginations form. I was born and brought up in Macao, the first and the last European colony in China. Living in Macau gave me the opportunity to explore western and eastern arts. I have spent most of my life in this little city, until 2007 I moved to the United States and started this blog to document my adventure in America. You don’t have to be a Blogger or Google member to leave comments. Please take a moment to let me know you were here. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

童年的氣球

昨天經過藝術學院,那扇壁門很高很美,走廊深得不見盡頭,大樓旁邊有幾位學生在草地上寫生,那種彷如隔世的感覺...... 巳經忘了是什麼時候,只記得是在自己很小很小的一年夏天,在外公的油漆舖裏。媽媽給我弄來了一個大紙皮箱作枱子,一枝原子筆和幾張過期的傳統日曆紙,我細小的身驅蹲在大紙箱旁邊,在舊日曆紙的背面上畫畫......我的繪畫就是從一個大紙皮箱,一枝原子筆和幾張廢紙開始。

後來這位小女孩變得越來越沉默,只是底頭畫著畫著。只要給她一張廢紙和一枝筆,她便可以用創造出自己的世界。她覺得很驕傲,這雙手,這是上天獻給她的禮物!她以為自己可以憑這雙驕傲闖出一片天空...... 然而,童年的夢像一個個彩色的氣球,顏色鮮艷,郤輕飄脆弱。最後只有三種命運,

一,是飄走了;

 
一,是破裂了;
一,是泄氣了。

愛,需要Tin Food嗎?

你和他/她的戀愛中,什麼時候是最快樂的?什麼時刻是最珍貴的?

曾經有人對我說:"我很珍惜我和她的感情,因為我們有很多美好的回憶。",然後他告訴我他最快樂的時候,是他剛剛跟他的女朋友熱戀的時候。期後我問過其他朋友,很多人的答案亦無他樣。原來很多人的愛情,都是靠"Tin Food"續命的!"回憶"是一種"Tin Food",是不新鮮的,是不健康的。當你依靠的只是一份"美好的回憶",你的愛情還健康嗎?

昨天我跟我的好友談及我那篇"愛情XHY",其中的"H"是代表没有愛,依靠禮教、子女、負任......而維繫的"感情"。没有愛情的婚姻是悲哀的、是枯竭、是迷失的。我想,如果科學家真的可以發明一種"愛情罐頭",把回憶以及愛情的那份甜蜜保存在罐頭內,也許很多人可以再次一嘗愛情的滋味......

如果你珍惜的,是和他/她一起的每分每秒,而不只是一份回憶,我衷心祝福你!

愛情XHY

在世界上,你知道多少人的名字呢?你又忘掉了多少聽過的名字呢?

琼瑤的「失火的天堂」裏,女主角何潔舲曾經說過:"我不喜歡告訴別人名字,只因為覺得人與人之間,常常都是在平衡綫。平衡綫是不會交會的,於是,你知不知道別人的名字根本没關係......","你會繼續往你的方向走,對於另一絛平衡綫上的名字和人物,完全不注意,不知道,也不關懷。人生就是這樣的,絶大多數人,都活在’自我’的世界裏,許多名字,都是多餘的。"。  何潔舲的話簡潔而又尖銳地揭示了人與人之間的關係。有人說,人與人之間的緣份和關係,可以用三個英文字母來表示:

第一個英文字是"X" - 距離很遠的兩點向同一點進發,兩條綫終於交會,但交會之後就開始分岔,接著越分越遠。就是說兩個互不相干的陌生人相遇,郤立刻因為了解而立刻分開,兩人向相反方向走,終於大家越走越遠。

第二個字是"H" - 兩絛平衡綫永遠不會相交,郤因為中間的一絛而維繫著。好比一對完全没有愛的夫婦,他們分別在兩絛平衡綫上,只是靠著兒女,去維繫大家的關係。

最后一個是"Y" - 兩點延伸,相交,然後合併成一條直綫。就像兩個互不相干的人相遇了,他們從此不分開,大家向著同一方向走下去。

人的緣份是很微妙的,因為相信會有知己,會有真愛,所以要尋尋覓覓。有些人相信自己在人海中遇到了真愛,郤没料"了解"使大家從此分開。有些人放棄了找尋,巳經不相信會有真愛,他們在另一絛平衡綫上抓住一個人作伴,從此大家用禮教,用子女,用責任互相終生捆綁。亦有人得到愛情之神的眷顧,和心愛的人快樂地活著。 你相信你會遇到真愛嗎?你和他/她是在同一絛平衡綫上嗎?你們向著同個一方向前進嗎?

Friendship

Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head; To handle others, use your heart.

Friends

Anger is only one letter short of danger If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much; He, who loses a friend, loses much more; He, who loses faith, loses all.

Learn from the mistakes of others You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Where World meets Art

SNV31645.JPG.TZpRPwtSiXIQ.jpg

"風動落花紅簌簌",窗外簌簌瑟瑟,苔青草潤,落花遍地,這是我看過最美的秋天。這,就是Bellevue的秋天。 不知不覺,我來了Bellevue巳經兩個月了。春來秋去,這半年發生了很多事,由離開澳門,來到美國,後來到Bellevue定居。Bellevue的生活是悠閑的,人們在公園看書,在草地上曬太陽,小朋友喜歡到室外玩球。人們是友善的,陌生人會主動跟你打招乎,和你談天,什至主動幫你。生於這裡的人真好,擁有選擇純真的自由。
