Thank you very much laksaboy, The Penetrator & Ramsey. You guys are very good.

May I ask for another favour, can translate or not? Thanks very much my chinese not so good la. I hope its speaks of good things. I think the first line say something like human face is like flower many smiles (is the meaning smiling tiger?) the second line I totally cannot understand.

Do you think this is worth to buy?

Bro , is he a famous calligrapher ? If not it's just not worth to buy a few good words .
 
HELL! It's about wine then. Now I know. So this is why it's hung in The Wine Company at Dempsey. I love wine but now this is about wine, the missus will kill me if I buy it.

It is suited if you are in F & B lines . When you buy this must consider the meaning very important . I ever saw once a dumdum Singaporean guy go and give 风升水起 to a head of insurance branch . So malu ! You want to hang at home one or office ? Maybe you tell me what business you in and I can suggest some nice couplets for you .

bro,
beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, as long as the art piece is appreciated by it's owner, it has its value :):):)

Thanks Penetrator.

I want something for the home la but this like you said may not be appropriate and I also not in F&B.

I don't mind something for the office. I sell screws, my customers and competitors said I am the biggest screw supplier in Thailand some call me screw king but in Thailand don't anyhow let anyone call you with the word "king" can get 15 years in "Bangkok Hilton". Anyway Penetrator do you have anything for screw to recommend? Screw also considered hardware ngor-kim.

Thank you zhihua and drifter. Both of you have a point there. Only problem with me is I cannot really read Chinese (got E7 for O'level that's after 2nd try, 1st time is F9) or appreciate. For me it looks pretty cool only

Since you are in this line , you can start consider the word Gold in a phase . I recommend you go for 隸 li or 楷 kai styles . They give people very stable impressions . Sorry my teacher pass away in 2003 , or I can recommend you more . He is one of the most famous master calligraph writer in the region .

Thank you very much for your help and this piece of calligraphy. I feel so sad I cannot read most of the characters here, I think I can only recognize 11 characters). Tomorrow morning I will ask my mom to read them all to me. Thanks.
 
That picture is for illustrate only ! It is Li shu , see if you like or not only ? Actually I am going Bras Basah this weekend to get some calligraphy books , if I see something suitable I will post it here .

Thank you bro for your responds . If you have the interest , calligraphy is a very good hobby . Got a senior of mine start learning when he was 41 after business traveling in China and he is a natural gifted student . Best thing is his a baba nonya and can't speak much Chinese . My teacher use to write for local businessman and earn big ang bao every time . The Japanese and Koreans businessmen use to look for his works too . Low profile eccentric guy use to study art school in Paris . Surname is Huang .
 
Never learnt chinese calligraphy before but in sec school the art teacher taught us some english calligraphy.
