Her “Painting with a Basketball- Yao Ming Portrait” shot her to fame and now she’s back.

Shanghai-based Malaysian Hong Yi has just released photos and a video of her Jay Chou portrait done using coffee cup stains!

Hong Yi's Jay Chou coffee stain portrait

26-year-old Hong Yi, nicknamed Red, spent 12 hours to complete the Jay Chou coffee stain portrait in Shanghai on Valentine’s Day.  She was inspired by the opening line of Jay Chou’s song “Secret” (Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi 不能说的秘密) about lifting up a coffee cup off the saucer.  She described the coffee in the song is cold (“冷咖啡离开了杯垫”) because the main character has been thinking too much about the past.

Today is the last day of February and it is also Chap Goh Meh, the finale to the Chinese New Year celebration. Being a Sunday, this year’s Chap Goh Meh will be celebrated on a grander scale by the Chinese.

Chap Goh Meh, meaning “fifteenth night” in Hokkien, is a day to spend with loved ones. It is like Valentine’s Day for the Chinese. On this day, single adults throw oranges into rivers in the hope of finding a life partner. The Hokkien even have a saying which goes “tim kam chua ho ang” which literally means “throw a mandarin orange, marry a good husband.” But nowadays a lot of young people throw oranges into rivers merely for fun.

People used to write their names and telephone numbers on oranges that they threw into rivers or lakes. Nowadays with the widespread use of the internet, I guess people will probably write their emails or their websites addresses on the oranges that they throw……some may even write the names that they use on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

To all my friends and associates, I wish you all a very happy Chap Goh Meh! Go now to the supermarkets to buy a box of mandarin oranges and see you at the lakeside at Bulatan Park tonight! Who knows, you may find your life partner tonight! Hahaha…happy orange throwing!
