Before making my new year’s resolution, I should first count the abundant blessings I received.  I’m thankful for: A loving family who is patient with me despite my occasional bad attitude Good friends who I can talk to and seek help A healthy body to work and play Freedom to pursue what my heart desires […]

Guangdong, China

My Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing day this year were spent on a tour to Guangzhou with my family.  It must have been at least a few years since I’ve stayed in China for that long, it was a rather stimulating experience.  Despite being warned previously, I didn’t expect the air quality could be […]

Merry Christmas 2009!

It’s been a long while since I’ve done any cartooning…  I sometimes wonder how Christmas became so consumeristic over the years.  Have we ever tried stepping back and ponder about how the holiday originated?  I think my ever curious nephews and niece have much influence on the idea of this cartoon! =) Since I’ll be […]

Malcolm Wells

I like reading about the life and work of artists, especially those with a sense of humor.  Malcolm Wells (a.k.a Mac Wells) is one of those rare few I truly admire.  I love his style of writing – personal, honest, truthful, with plenty of humor/sarcasm and to-the-point cartoons/illustrations.  It was only by luck that I […]

East Asian Games 2009

My friend had an extra ticket for the table tennis matches today, so I took the liberty to entertain myself watching a game I used to love but haven’t played for ages.  The HK women team won the group gold medal over team China!   It was surprisingly exciting and uplifting. I had this peculiar […]

bodw & BYOB

I was carrying with me a fair bit of expectation entering the bodw show, but I left during the break right after the first presentation by Hermés.  I believe there’s value in good design, but there’s something I disgust about luxurious goods, I just can’t stand the way people spending so much money buying them […]

Changchun Library Design

I’ve missed Sunday service, skipped my first class (it’s actually an optional workshop), missed my regular Sunday dim-sum with my family, and failed to attend a wedding I was initially thinking about going.  I’ve even refrained from playing with my adorable little nephew when he came knocking every morning throughout last week. I can be […]
