Father’s Birthday
Father’s birthday is a few days away, and our family celebrated it early tonight. My parents had been wanting to see what I’ve done with the studio, and since the dining venue is nearby, I invited my whole family over to take a family photo before heading for dinner. It was the first time the […]

Soccer Training
I decided to join my friends to try out a weekly soccer training course in November, and tonight was the last session. It’s kind of funny, I’ve been playing soccer since primary school and this is the first time I’ve actually received some kind of formal training. I honestly do feel more fit after the […]

Creative Monday
Went for my biennial body check in the morning, then continued my chalkboard project at the studio in the afternoon. Went for my weekly painting class at night, 3rd week into my first landscape painting, finished with the background. I think it looks satisfactory so far considering it’s my first attempt, looking forward to finish […]

A Different Sunday
Parents went to Mainland for my cousin’s wedding banquet, so we didn’t have our usual family dim sum after church this week. Went to the studio to continue my chalkboard project after lunch. Was thinking about going for an evening run afterwards, but the sudden rain gave my lazy butt an excuse to rest. The […]

Creative Monday
Did a little work at the studio in the afternoon. I’m trying to transform one side of the wall into a chalkboard, now in the process of flattening it before adding a layer of paint and then another layer of transparent chalkboard paint. It’s a bit of an experimentation, hope it will look and function […]

Running
Didn’t have time to run last week, made up for it this week. Ran ~11k, trying again to slowly build up my stamina for a half-marathon.

Exhibition Setup
Walked into the office after being away for a couple of weeks, was thinking it would just be another day in front of the computer, but it turned out to be a little more interesting… It so happens that my brother’s demising company is joining an annual exhibit for yet another year. Instead of staying […]

Creative Monday
Started a new painting during class tonight, it’s not just another painting, it’s a new type of painting – this is the first landscape painting I’m attempting, a little departure from the usual painting of “objects”. I caught a slight cold last week, wasn’t serious, but energy level had been rather low because of it. […]

Creative Monday
Went to the studio to do a little planting this afternoon before heading to my oil painting class, was about 15 minutes late. Finished another painting, not too satisfied with this piece. Didn’t seem to have the mood to paint tonight for some reason, maybe it’s the subject of the painting, or maybe it’s just […]
