The past week was unusually packed with social activities. It started with Monday evening when a friend who emigrated to Taiwan came back and wanna meetup before she goes back in a week.
Tuesday was packed the most. After my weekly calligraphy class in the morning, I joined my calligraphy classmate and her daughter for lunch. The only daughter had been considering to emigrate to Australia, which my widowed classmate wouldn’t like to see happen but can understand her daughter’s decision. Went to Central after lunch to facilitate a couple of friends to network, one will open a cafe in LKF soon and the other wish to open one and had many questions. Stayed in the HK Island side to meet and catch up with an old friend for dinner, he suggested drinks in LKF. We each had a couple of beer and shared a big plate of nachos, feels like the old university days.
Dined out with my parents and sister on Thursday. I suggested a newly renovated restaurant near my studio where my family used to go for dim sums on Sundays. The mood seemed unusually joyous despite the negative topics we chatted.
Aside from the social activities, I continued to make good progress with my Shigeru-Ban-inspired papertube furniture. Had been 3D printing the parts non-stop, many takes hours, which allowed me to spare some time to do art. Made a brush-and-ink illustration of Margaret Ng and Jimmy Lai and was accepted to the online gallery of AGO’s Portraits of Resilience community art project!
Joined my sister and brother-in-law to Sunday Service at church this morning. It must have been at least half a year since the last time we attended church physically, felt blessed and thankful. Pray that God will continue to protect and see us through the end of this marathon pandemic tunnel. ??
