For this pair of Malayan Tigers figurines๐ ๐ฏ, SiennyLovesDrawing would like to share her doodles inspiration cum interpretation as below,
The Malayan tiger is the national animal of Malaysia. Actually the Malayan Tiger is 1๏ธโฃ of the smallest tiger species found throughout the southern & central parts of the Malay Peninsula & southern parts of Thailand ๐น๐ญ The Malayan tiger is a tiger from a specific population of the Panthera tigris subspecies that is native to Peninsular Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ This population inhabits the southern & central parts of the Malay Peninsula
The Malayan tiger is Totally Protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 & is classified as Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List for Threatened Species since 2015
— SiennyLovesDrawing (@SiennyLovesDraw) July 24, 2022
Meaning of the colours used to doodle on this pair of figurines:
Orange ๐งก~ From the Malayan Tiger ๐ ๐ฏ body colour
Black ๐ค ~ From the stripes of Malayan Tiger ๐ ๐ฏ
White ๐ค ~ The original colour of the figurines, From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises purity
Yellow ๐ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It signifies royal colours of the Malay Rulers. Sienny would like to symbolise it as a bright future of Malaysia of her pair of Malayan Tigers figurines here
Red โฅ๏ธ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises bravery. The tiger symbolises bravery & strength among Malaysians
Blue ๐ ~ From the Malaysia flag ๐ฒ๐พ ~ It symbolises the unity of all Malaysians
Meaning of doodle patterns:
The circular doodle means focus in aiming ๐ฏ just like the tiger ๐ ๐ฏ
Another doodle pattern meant to be the growth of plant ๐ฟ๐ฑ to signifies the jungle ๐ณ๐ณ
Meaning of this pair of Malayan Tiger figurinesgestures:
Hand gestures ~ STOP ๐ poaching โผ๏ธ
The Malayan tiger is already declining due to poaching, habitat loss & fragmentation or degradation, as well as prey loss & now Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) seems to be emerging as yet another threat
Purposely prepared no eyes ๐ on this pair of Malayan Tiger figurines, it’s because tiger cubs are born blind. Their eyes peek open between 6โ12 days after birth & they gain full vision after 2 weeks from birth

Updated 6 Aug 2022, 8.30am ~ Added YouTube named Arts In Sabah with SiennyLovesDrawing
Yeahโผ๏ธ SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป would like to share about her amazing art exploring trip recently at Sabah
So, what’s arts in Sabahโโ๏ธ
As an art lover herself, she got amazed with the beautiful wall murals ๐จ๐๏ธ around Sabah that being painted by the local Sabahan artists
.
Truly proud of all local art talents shown to the world the heritage & culture of the people in Sabah in different ways, forms & knowledge through art & crafts
SiennyLovesDrawing got amazed with the beautiful wall murals ๐จ๐๏ธ surrounding the Kudat ferry terminal jetty โ ticket office. It’s by a local Sabahan artist named Chong Ket Phin (FB: art.painting.50309), a very low profile artist
Next to the Pasar Besar Kudat for the mural painting at its main entrance & public toilet by the same local Sabahan artist, Chong Ket Phin. You can grab the famous Kudat salt peanut, stingless bee honey etc. from this market
This same artist also did some beautiful wall murals @ the public toilet of Kudat Town Board. These wall murals surrounding the COVID-19 prevention messages ie. Wear mask ๐ท, sanitasing, social distancing etc.
Chong Ket Phin is based in Kudat, so not surprised you will see more beautiful wall murals from him around Kudat during your visit to here ya ๐คฉ๐๐ป
Also spotted a wall mural (Unknown artist) with our Malaysia’s talented badminton player, Dato Lee CW @ Kudat Sports Center
Tamparuli Bridge is now covered with traditional murals showcasing the bridge ๐ history & the ethnics in Tuaran. A short Sumazau dance performance at the entrance by the local students on a volunteer basis, donations are welcome
She has learnt about the sacrifice of a lady named Solongkoi for the Tamparuli bridge built up here
SiennyLovesDrawing really really loves the ways talented Sabah artists showcasing their art talent & telling stories about their home state, the art, cultures & people. It’s truly touching her heart โค๏ธ
At arrival hall toilets of Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA), SiennyLovesDrawing got welcomed & amazed ๐คฉ by the beautiful under the sea wall murals by local Sabahan cartoonist artist, Jaini Abd. Ghani aka Binjai ๐จ๐ฝโ๐จ (IG: Kartunis_binjai) & Sabahan artist, Halim Batak (FB: halim.batak.7). To her personally, both tell stories about Sabah is with many diving ๐คฟ๐ฆช๐ ๐ก๐ฆ spots & well known for its under the sea beauty
Then outside the KKIA, absolutely an amazing colourful graffiti ๐ named “The Nature Mind of Landscape” by Kenji Chai ๐จ๐ปโ๐จ (IG: mr_kenjichai), it aims as a reminder of the value of nature & how all of us must do more to protect the Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ‘s endangered species, especially Proboscis Monkey (Nasalis Larvatus)
.
Actually these art displays at airports are part of the National Art Gallery & Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad (MAHB) initiative ie. KUL Art Airport to promote Malaysian artworks & to showcase these participating Malaysian artists’ cultural identities not just domestically, but also on an international stage. Yes โ , both domestic & foreign travellers whether now arriving & departing from international airports at KL, KK, Penang & Kuching will be greeted by a series of artworks created by local Malaysian artists. Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ’s international airports are the next cultural hubs
Visit to the Tun Mustapha Tower in the rain ๐ง๏ธ๐ to view the beautiful wall murals surrounding it ๐ Also visit the Tun Mustapha Gallery to learn the life of this remarkable man, Tun Mustapha from his humble beginnings to his illustrious days as the former Head of State & Chief Minister of Sabah
SiennyLovesDrawing loves the giant wall murals @ Wisma Wanita, KK. This murals painting presented by The & Tobpinai which consists of 7๏ธโฃ artists to complete this beautiful giant art wall,
Visit Sinsuran Bin Murals (Opposite Center Point) ie. Mural paintings by Fiaso Art Gallery (https://www.facebook.com/Fiasoart-Gallery-101320511704135/) , by KK Splash Squad & by Josrie Heral (IG: kot4kmimpi) , Intan Munirah Hamzah (FB: NtanMunirah) & Nashrul Azaharie Oredi
Then, continue to visit Bandaran Bin Murals. It’s 1๏ธโฃ row to each other to view the mural painting by Suparno Sapar (Opposite KFC Bandaran), another one by Josrie Heral (IG: kot4kmimpi) , Intan Munirah Hamzah (FB: NtanMunirah) & Nashrul Azaharie Oredi & another one by Canie Peter Tan (FB: caniet)
These are actually the great ๐๐ป efforts by Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (DBKK) aka KK City Hall who initiated painting of murals on public bins & toilets all over town, in collaborations with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture Malaysia (MOTAC) in Oct 2018 to encourage clean city, importance of not litters ๐ฏ๐ฎ to public, as well as beautifying the city outlooks including trash bins, that’s absolutely brilliant ๐๐ป๐๐ป
So, you can actually do what SiennyLovesDrawing had enjoyed her bin murals hunting while in KK ya
Next, mural paintings hunting @ ๐ Wisma Intiutama KK, Australian Place & Gaya street
Also spotted mural bin paintings by Binjai, another by Canie Peter Tan, Daisy Raymond Elling & another by Murnie Liana Binti Rahim, Fakhruddin Bin Mohd Yaakub
Stopped by 333 Agromart Local Production & Yees Yogurt, Plaza 333 with mural paintings by Kenny Kinjawan (IG: Kajenjen) & Cracko Art Group (IG: crackoart)
Enjoyed traditional Sabah cuisine dinner @ My Native Sabah, Plaza 333. It’s an authentic restaurant that serves Sabah’s unique native traditional foods
It’s a nice place to try & taste the traditional cuisine of different tribes in Sabah, it’s also a bar to relax with friends after your meals here
This is one of the fine street art in the heart of KK. If you are wondering where to see the rest of them, check out @SiennyLovesDraw's Sabah content, where we recently took her on a tour of visually-stimulating thought-provoking art form destinations.
Enjoyed a big bowl of bitter gourd soup vermicelli with a mix of both fresh fish & fried fish slices as lunch @ ๐ Kwong Sup Ikan
.
When stepped in to its air conditioning dining area, you will be amazed with the 1๏ธโฃst aquarium โ๐๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ฆ concept murals by Oka.studios (IG: Oka.studious)
While she enjoyed her dinner @ Tana Restaurant, Toojou Hostel. It’s a restaurant serving nordic-inspired food with a local twist. Absolutely must try the red snapper here, so fresh & tasty ๐
Visit to G Wonder Khayalan Home Art Gallery, it’s owned by a local Sabahan artist named Jainal Amambing, an award winning artist in domestic & international
Guess whatโโ๏ธ
It’s also known as The Ugliest Home Art Gallery in North Borneo by the artist owner himself
Hmm…Whyโโ๏ธ
Mr Jainal believes in finding art in imperfect things surrounding his life. So, he always love to portray the ugliest things from materials eg. The inner part of the Pokok Berlian, instead of the smooth tree trunk. To him, all things are art in different perspectives
Personally to SiennyLovesDrawing, this actually is a natural real look of an art gallery with the real art space of Mr Jainal to producing & exhibiting his art masterpieces & creative ideas
Absolutely an inspiring amazing gallery visit here. In fact, almost every corner in this home gallery is an instagrammable spot, highly recommended ๐ธ๐๐ป
.
Entrance fee is required โ
Children 12 y/o & below, RM2๏ธโฃ
Adults, RM3๏ธโฃ
Foreign visitors, RM7๏ธโฃ

Met Christianne Goonting aka Tianne @ Lavinia Private Art Gallery to enjoy a beautiful mandala woven art workshop guided by Tianne to use some recycle/ upcycle materials eg. Wooden chopsticks from takeaways, bread bag packaging & with beautiful colourful woven, then happily kept this beautiful craft made after
SiennyLovesDrawing learnt the basics & enjoyed to string her magic to form her 1๏ธโฃst mandala woven crafting for the 1๏ธโฃst time

Went to Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to visit the Azman Hashim Gallery. It was built in 2017 & opened in Nov 2021.

This building has a round design structure inspired by Sabah’s traditional musical instrument “Gong”, while within the inside of this building, you will spot a traditional fishing tool named “Bubu” shape inspired tower named Menara Beria ๐คฉ
There are some beautiful wall murals surrounding the Anjung Beria & with nice view overlooking the South China Sea from its Menara Beria rooftop

Hey all ๐๐ป, SiennyLovesDrawing would like to share about an upcoming Asia Art Show this Aug 2022 in this blog post
It’s not just a normal showcase of art. Asia Art Show aims to change & impact the artistic scene in Asia especially in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ This is due to the general view & appreciation towards the art industry in Asia ๐ is way lower than in other parts of the world
Visual art is usually considered a minority industry & the stigma that comes with it is that it does not guarantee a stable & probable future. Even though we have a great number of talented artists in Asia, only ๐% of them eventually make a living from selling their artworks
.
Thus, here is where the Asia Art Show exhibition comes into play as we take daring steps to host a high-profile art showcase event for the 1๏ธโฃst time ever in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ This event may not be as prestigious as the Art Basel but we are confident that this is the vital 1๏ธโฃst step towards uplifting the Asia art industry
Now, the question is, why Asiaโโ๏ธ Not Malaysiaโโ๏ธ
The answer is that Asia Art Show aims to become an annual event that connects Asian countries with 1๏ธโฃ objective to bring the spotlight to talented artists across the continent. The event will be featuring artists from Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ, Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ, India ๐ฎ๐ณ, Korea ๐ฐ๐ท, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช& many more. Asia Art Show would also like to gather ASIAN CONGLOMERATES in support of the Asian art industry especially Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ & neighbourhood countries
Asia Art Show is a 3๏ธโฃ-day event held this Aug with the National Day celebration in mind. Even though it is held in the midst of economic crises, we believe that all of these challenges will increase the virtues & values of artists in order to produce more amazing artworks
Isnโt art a form of emotional release & expressionโโ๏ธ
Not only that but art also serves as a therapeutic means for people troubled with various challenges & we are certain that our fellow artists are some of the strongest creatives in the scene
.
Over the years, we have been making efforts to promote & sell artworks via charity fundraising events, sponsorships, garage sales & online websites. We strive to connect artists & buyers through these platforms & many more. Asia Art Show will invite over 1000 potential buyers on the 2๏ธโฃnd day followed by the opening of the gallery to the public on the 3๏ธโฃrd day. The best thing about art exhibitions in Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ is that we offer ๐ admission in order to encourage more people to embrace the uniqueness of the various expressions of art
Another big feat of our efforts is that we have managed to gauge the interest of a big Fintech specialist company to sponsor the building of our very own e-commerce website via ๐ http://www.asiaartshowgallery.com which will be officially launched on the 26 Aug 2022
YAB Perdana Menteri Dato Seri Ismail Sabri has been invited to officiate the Charity Dinner taking place on Friday, 26 Aug 2022. This programme includes Special Needs Artists from our respected CSR allies Pusat Latihan Pemulihan Perindustrian Bangi. These unique artists consist of those with various diseases such as autism, bipolar disorders, physical deficiencies, cancer & also stroke patients. Moreover, there will also be a special auction for 20 pieces from these talented artists. A portion of the proceeds will be channeled to selected NGOs
.
We are aiming to sell at least 200 artworks as a benchmark of our success of organizing this grandiose event. In our eyes, this event does not only benefit 1๏ธโฃ party, but it sincerely will benefit so many parties involved in this event. Our success will majorly depend on the sponsors, artists, buyers, art enthusiasts, media parties & also everyone who put in efforts to make this event a reality
SiennyLovesDrawing as 1๏ธโฃ of the many art lovers, also will be there to attend this charity event on the 26 Aug 2022, see you all, let’s support talented artists

This children picture book review sharing ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐ supposed a throwback from 2016, 1๏ธโฃ of SiennyLovesDrawing’s many many lunch reading ๐
Yes โ , she ๐ฉ๐ป has a habit of grabbing a book ๐๐ to read during her lunches ๐ฝ๐ดof kids expressive art teaching afternoonsss ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ซ
Generally, she enjoys reading ๐ a children picture bookduring her simple lunch ~ White bread with honey & cheese ๐๐ง๐ฏ/ salad ๐ฅ/ sandwiches ๐ฅช
Her lunch reading pick โ often an easy read ๐, hence children picture book. However, she ๐ฉ๐ป recalled this book ๐ named The Missing Piece somehow triggered her thinking ๐ค thoughts ๐ญ after her lunch read ๐๐คค as an adult
Yes โ , it definitely more than just a children picture book ๐, that’s the reason why she would like to still share & recommend here for you all to enjoy a read ๐
Also she ๐ฉ๐ป loves the simple line illustrations presented in this book ๐
She also sharing here a snapshot of the book cover ๐ & 1๏ธโฃ of its many pages as shown in this blog banner โบ๏ธ of hers
Hmm…searching a missing piece in life…๐ค๐ญ
This book ๐ is about what you may askโโ๏ธ
SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has searched & found a video clip ๐น๐ฅ via YouTube of the whole book ๐
So, why not you all enjoy a digital read too โโ๏ธ๐
After reading ๐ this book, she ๐ฉ๐ป actually pondering whether herself currently in the journey of searching her missing piece in lifeโโ๏ธ
Perhaps yes โ , in her career…๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐
Perhaps yes โ , in her journey in pursuing her passion in life…๐โ๐ป๐๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป
But how about if she can’t find her missing pieceโโ๏ธ
Does it means incompleteโโ๏ธ
Or perhaps there is no โ missing piece in her lifeโโ๏ธ๐
Hmm…She continues wondering ๐ค…pondering ๐ญ…exploring her questions…โโ๏ธ
She ๐ฉ๐ป still doesn’t have an answer for now…๐ค
Actually our life is like putting a puzzle๐งฉ together, very much because of our desire to be complete, we will continue searching until we find the missing piece. But is there really a missing pieceโโ๏ธ She ๐ฉ๐ป has just asked again…โโ๏ธ
Actually we have a choice to either search within to find the missing piece, or continue to live with a void. No one can fill that void unless it is meant to be…when it fits…actually somehow we will know ๐
Hmm…Surely you will have your own thinking thought after reading it too….๐ค๐ญ
