Competition Entry Submitted!
Slept for probably just about 4 hours last night, and was hard at work in front of my computer most of the day without the slightest nap. Finally got my design submitted to a competition just before midnight, hours before the deadline! I would never get things done if not for deadlines, the power of […]

Fellowship Retreat & Running
Got back from a 3-day fellowship retreat in a lovely site in Lantau Island. I’m thankful for all the committee’s arrangement, without which I wouldn’t be able to enjoy a relaxing time away from the city.

Day 5 – Set up my art supplies, planted a row of plants (mainly succulents brought from home), and started cleaning up. Hope to finish this little renovation project tomorrow. Before renovating my studio, I sat in on a public forum at my Alma Mater in the morning. It was about climate change from HK’s […]

Studio Renovation IV
Day 4 – Finished painting the wall, my biggest piece of artwork ever! Time flies when I’m working in the studio, was a little late arriving at fellowship tonight. Good thing I didn’t miss the programme. We welcomed a few guest speakers to talk about career, something I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I seem […]
