Back in April, I had a God-given opportunity to collaborate with Hanjin Tan (a very well known Singaporean musician from Hong Kong), Chi Heng Foundation and Mira Mall on a charity redemption program. The purpose was to raise fund to help the HIV affected orphans in Mainland China. Though my contribution was very small (I only did the little caricature of Hanjin), I am still glad that I could be part of something so meaningful. The rest of the artwork on the umbrella was done by one of the HIV affected orphans, and the title of the work was "Dream." For me, this little collaboration was A TOTAL DREAM COME TRUE because I--as a super fan of Hanjin--never thought I could ever work with my idol in such a way!
Now, if you want to support me (because you are a friend of mine :P) or Hanjin, or simply want to help out the HIV affected orphans in China, you can make a donation of HK$50 or more to Chi Heng Foundation at The Mira Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, then you will receive one of these beautiful umbrellas! The redemption program only lasts from June 12 - July 13, so act fast! Be sure to stop by the "Dream" exhibition corner (Shop 203) to check out other artworks by the orphans as well!
今年四月的時候，我有幸和陳奐仁、智行基金會及美麗華商場合作創作了這把慈善雨傘為國內愛滋遺孤籌款。雖然我的部份就只有畫陳奐仁的卡通頭像，但我也很感恩能夠有份參與這件有意義的事！而傘上那幅色彩繽紛的油畫則是由其中一位愛滋遺孤所畫，作品名字為「夢」。對我來説，這次的合作是名付其實的「夢想成真」！因為我作為陳奐仁的粉絲，做夢也沒有想過竟然可以透過這樣的機會和自己的偶像合作！
若大家想支持我或陳奐仁，又或者純粹想幫助那些孤兒，由今天起至七月十三日，只要到美麗華商場向智行基金會捐贈港元$50或以上就可換購這把別緻雨傘！而每換購一把慈善雨傘，美麗華商場亦會額外再捐出港元$30用於愛滋遺孤教育資助項目，讓愛滋遺孤有機會接受教育，用知識改變命運。所以請大家踴躍捐款，一齊將夢想帶給這群有需要的小朋友！

Here is the blog post that I wrote after meeting Hanjin for the first time three years ago:
And here is another fan art for Hanjin:
