Wang Shu
Read on the newspaper this morning that the 2012 Pritzker Prize was awarded for the first time to a (native) Chinese architect – Wang Shu. Went to my frequently-visited website and found more information about the now world-famous architect. This is what he said when notified of the award “… I suddenly realized that I’ve […]

Morning Devotion
Woke up slightly earlier this morning and did my daily devotion. This is what I read today: “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19). […]

Sports and Maps
Soccer on Monday, badminton on Thursday, and basketball on Saturday, it was a week full of sports. Perhaps it’s a bit too much exercise, but I really enjoy catching up with friends, and since the 3 groups of friends don’t overlap, I had to play all 3 sports if I don’t want to miss the […]

Aquarium
Helped a friend fix a website bug before heading out for lunch today. Went for a little stroll in Mong Kok afterwards and bought a batch of cherry shrimps. I had been trying to breed the tiny shrimps for months without success – I can see miniscule transparent baby shrimps, but they can’t seem to […]

Iron Ring Replacement
Had dinner with some UW friends and their other halves. Thankful that my friend brought back my iron ring replacement from across the globe – it will serve as a constant reminder of the new year’s resolution I’ve made at the start of 2012!

Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day isn’t really such a festive day for singles like me. Did a quick Wiki look up, the origin of the holiday was setup in remembrance of a Christian martyr and has nothing to do with flowers and chocolates. Nonetheless, I’m happy for those who have found their other half, may they cherish one […]

State of Contemplation
It was past midnight when I got home last night. Took a shower and then went straight to my computer to finish off some freelance work. Before I knew it, it was 4 in the morning! I probably didn’t sleep until 5am. Woke up at around 10 this morning, had a very light breakfast while […]

New Devotion Routine
Did a self assessment earlier and realized that I’m neither a natural night owl nor a morning lark, meaning that I have the option to tune my body to adjust either way. I’ve always wanted to turn myself into a morning person, but was never quite successful. In my devotion yesterday, I read about how […]

Work and Play
Did a fair bit of freelance work today. Happy that I was finally contacted about a leaflet design freelance project I worked on before Christmas, I was starting to worry that my work would just go down the drain without being paid. Hope is alive once again! Played some soccer on a chilly rainy night, […]

Tiredness
Didn’t sleep too well for the last couple of nights. Actually woke up from a vivid nightmare last night, haven’t had one of those dreams for awhile. Feeling a bit tired this weekend… Looking back this week, I’ve put in a bit over 19 hours to my freelance work, much less than a regular 40-hour […]
