Marathon
Finally submitted my assignment last night, I’ve spent much of my time this week working on it. Relief! I chose one of the buildings for the upcoming Shanghai World Expo 2010 as the case study, so the end of the assignment is actually a new beginning for my research of the much anticipated Expo. While […]

A New Start
The Chinese New Year has quickly come and gone. Today is just a few days short of my half-anniversary of returning to HK, nothing much had been accomplished or changed, I’m still my old unmotivated self with lots of bad habits intact. Subconsciously, I was hoping the change in environment would help me start life […]

Chinese New Year 2010
It must have been more than 10 years since I last spent CNY in HK. The atmosphere is definitely more festive and vibrant compared to Toronto. I haven’t seen the restaurants this quiet, my home phone this busy, and my family this happy since returning to HK. Kung Hey Fat Choi!! p.s. Happy Valentine’s Day.

It’s like that for a lot of things, we never realize their true values until they are gone, forever. Quitting badminton actually crossed my mind, but I […]

Sustainable Energy – without the hot air
Completed the recommended reading for a course. The book is great as it answered a lot of the questions I’ve always pondered. It’s free too! Looking at some of the graphs from the book, I realized that I’m now living more sustainably in HK compared to Canada. This is an unintended good thing. It kind […]

Corrugated Cardboard
I’ve spent much of the last few days cutting up cardboard! My mom must have thought that I was going insane or something. =) With a little spare time after the busy January, I decided to transform all the corrugated cardboard I’ve saved up from my lair’s furnishings into something useful, things like document holders […]
