Beauty is in the Eye of The Beholder


What do you think of the above drawing? Is the bunny cute or somewhat a little bit weird looking?

Well, this drawing has a little backstory that I would like to share.

It was a sunny Sunday and I was walking from my pole dancing class. Tired, thirsty and wanted nothing but an iced cold mocha latte, I passed by Singapore Art Museum - one of the museum I haven't visited and it is surely in my to-do-list before end of this year! - and then I noticed there was this huge white colored balloon like thingie in front of it. Not after few seconds then I realized it was actually shaped like a bunny... Not the usual bunny rabbit you usually see for sure, but I was sure it was a bunny...


Strangely enough, I couldn't take my eyes off it. There was a certain charm in this oddly shaped bunny that somehow made it very interesting to look at. Her eyes were too small and placed too far from each other; her nose and mouth were also too small, and together with her eyes, her face just looked sad somehow (bear with me and my imagination, please!); her ears... just didn't look right; and even her body, the size wasn't in proportion to her head.
However, despite all of those unusual features of her, she definitely had some appeal that somehow mesmerized me. And at exactly that moment, one quote slipped into my mind: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

For some people, this bunny was just weird looking, but in my eyes, she was beautiful...
