Dined out with family and friends 3 times this week, a record high in recent months amidst the pandemic. The number of confirmed cases saw a small rise to low double digits this weekend, hope those were only isolated cases and that we can continue to transition back to a more healthy social state.

Finally started renovating the empty room at my new place into a home office. Have been anticipating and planning for my career for the post-COVID19 era during this sabbatical, talked to friends about my ideas and showed off some prototypes, feedbacks were mostly positive. The ideas are still fairly vague, but I have a hunch that it has the potential to develop into a sustainable business. If the “start-up” takes off, I’ll likely spend a lot of time in this future home office.

Continued writing letters to the many pro-democratic Hongkongers who are detained/imprisoned for political reasons. Read up their stories and some of the letters that were written to them openly, I was touched and saddened by their sacrifice for a city they loved so dearly. Praying and writing to them is the least I can do to show my appreciation for their fight of democracy, freedom, and justice in our city.
