My biography...

Raised as an Artist’s daughter, yet was never taught by her artist father. Dora Ong, an arts loving person, only found her passion in drawing recently. A mass communication graduate, Dora also runs an advertising agency called Pep Design Sdn Bhd (www.pepdesign.com.my). She loves painting, sewing and singing. This food series is being expressed in a simple still life approach. Using watercolour, pencil and ink as her medium, Dora expressed her love in these foods through her drawing.

Book is finally Launched...

It was a very moving event. When I first saw how they used my drawings to animate for the opening sequence during the book launch, I almost cried with tears of joy. I was so happy. It was a rare opportunity that my paintings is being exposed to the public. Everyone in this event was of Very Important Person (VIP) status. They belonged to either a CEO or Managing Director of those big corporations in Malaysia. And I heard that the Prime Minister has a copy too. The joy and honour which I experienced last night were truly unexplainable. It was beyond words to describe. I wish I could just HOLD ON to that very moment and I have never imagine that my work can inspire so many. :)

a Glorious morning

Today I am being invited to an important event that is the launch of a book that has used my illustration as cover and also part of its design. I am so happy and honored to be part of this project. Its a formal event and so I am all dressed up in Malaysian Traditional wear. My heart is pounding really fast and I hope to receive positive feedback. This book has marked a significance in my life. It has helped me to find back my long lost gift in me- Painting...I will cherish this moment and continue to draw to be inspired. And most importantly, I thank my sister, Diane who believe in me and got me to draw for this book. I would like to also thank Jesus for the wonderful gift that He has granted me and I will continue to do task that will glorify His name. Amen...

Sabah Snake Grass 优遁草

About half a year ago, an ex-poly mate of mine wrote to me on FB looking for this type of grass in Malaysia. I had never heard of it and so I went online to look for information about this type of grass. Apparently, there were many testimonies written online about how this type of grass has cured many. I was very excited and went around looking for it. I finally found them in Seremban in Jelebu a place called '草药园’ (HP: +60196609502-Mr. Tiang) which is about 2 hours drive from KL. I brought them to my friend whose mom was in her 3rd stage of colon cancer. And so going to Seremban is like a very now and then task if anyone needs the plant urgently.

2 weeks ago, a client of mine told me that her breast cancer is not looking good. Without any hesitation, I told her that I will go Seremban for her. And the next day, I plucked out 60 leaves from my own Sabah Snake Grass for her. My trip to Seremban yesterday, I managed to bring home 11 baby plants and 3 big tubs of 300 leaves in each back. I want to bless many with these leaves. I strongly believe that it can cure and bring hopes to many who is currently suffering from cancer. For those who would like to know more about the leaves..

Here are some sites to know more....

On a regular basis, I also pluck 10 leaves per day and blend with fruit juice to drink...(eg. Green Apple or Kiwi) I must take good care of my body so that I can live long enough to fulfill my dream of opening a backpacker lodge in Sabah or even a place for cancer patient to have a retreat.

My baby plant who just got migrated from Seremban...They shall bloomed to the maximum and blessed many with good health.

My "daughter" which I have been planting it for almost 6 months. "Baby, Mommy is so proud of you! U will continue to grow to bless many!!"

I am giving blood today!!

My lunch today is just a sweet corn and edamame...I am eating plain because I am donating my blood today at 3pm. I will try to donate my blood every 3months once. My way to contribute back to the society. Honestly, there are not many who can give blood. You must have the courage and also be physically fit otherwise even if you have the courage but your blood is not suitable they won't even pull a single drop of blood out of you. Today, I will be going alone. Whatever it is, my intention is to bless other just like the way I blessed those cancer patients with my Sabah Snake Grass...

This was taken today at Tropicana City Mall... :)

Blood giving...if you have the courage, I urged everyone to go for it. Do something meaningful in life. Give blood to save others.
