Doctor cum Artist – Dr. Angeline Lok

Angeline Lok, a 70’s baby born and bred in Port Dickson, currently working as a specialist doctor in Shanghai.

One day in 2015, as she went out for a walk despite heavy rains, her pet dog carried to her in its mouth a dying black kitten. After several weeks of recovery and treatment procedures, despite losing one eye, the black kitten survived tenaciously with its strong survival instinct. Since then, Angeline has formed a close bond with the black cat. Upon picking up drawing skills, she sketches cat figures, depicting the various brutal and challenging surroundings in which they face during growth, with the hopes of arousing people to allocate relative space, respect, and aid.

Dr Angeline founded BICAST amateur drawing studies class together with a bunch of like-minded friends, organizing drawing exhibitions and art therapy trial classes from time to time. This group of people, coming from various industry backgrounds and equipped with different drawing styles, gain mutual benefits from creativity brainstorms and idea-generation exchanges.

Festival at Then Hou Temple in Hainan Village, Port Dickson

Hainan Village in Port Dickson has been in existence for more than a century. With the outflow of youth, only 35 households remain residing.

The Then Hou Temple built in the village is a hundred years old, and organises an annual festival occasion during 23rd March of the lunar calendar to celebrate The Empress of Heaven (Mazu)’s birthday. The village population who reside in dispersed outstation areas would return to their hometown, and work collectively to cook traditional Hainanese delicacies such as mutton soup for the consumption of villagers and guests alike, joining in celebration and making merry together. Meanwhile, there is hope that the Hainanese culture could be inherited from one generation to another, the legacy of traditional Hainanese dishes and customs continues.
