My World Tues - Orang Utan House



If you have seen my earlier posting entitled
'Interesting Window', this is the big picture where the window appears. A visitor of this blog, Ai Shiang, asked why the street signage is placed so close to the building. The reason is this signage was created by the owner of this building. Not by the local council.

This is a studio gallery owned by an artist, Charles Cham. Apart from his art work, his gallery also sells many T-shirts featuring interesting graphics & message, drawn by Charles. I have bought some of his T-shirts for myself and as gifts for friends. They are interesting gifts and beautiful too.

Charles has drawn this huge orang utan mural on this building. This mural has piqued the interest of many visitors to Melaka. It is a famous landmark in my hometown. To view his art pieces that had been exhibited, you can visit his
online gallery.


This is my posting for "That's My World Tuesday" meme.

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
