After my hectic April, my husband took me to Bali for a week. My mom watched the kids and we stayed at a nice place called Desa Seni.

5 May, 2011 : Niubizi trademarks for China
Yay! We have received our trademarks of Niu Bizi now for China. I think I am lucky I have somewhat of a short memory as Stuart reminded me when we had to do the application, how painful it was. I remember on Christmas day of 2009, I was still trying to figure out which subcategories to tick within the trademark category and it was really quite frustrating. Luckily Uncle Zhang came to my rescue and told me the categories they trademarked for Sanmao. He also told me this is the first thing you need to do in China before you do anything.

We had the joy and honor of hosting 2 curators from the Shanghai Art Museum to our home in KL and Singapore to view my grandfather’s works. My mom had to do a lot of preparation in extracting the paintings from the storage center to bring to our home to show our guests. We had Mr. Yang Qi and Ms. Xiao Xiaolan over and it was a lot of fun.

received these two images from people I met on this journey. Mr. Wu sent me an ink painting of Niu Bizi with a mini Niu Bizi all framed up. Mr. Qiu sent me this black and white sketch of Niu Bizi in a car driving I guess, me…. Which is quite flattering since, I don’t think anyone has ever given me a sketch of myself...
