New Year 2026
Returned to Canada for just over a week, I’m slowly adapting to the slower and quieter life here once again. Started meeting and catching up with some friends here. Seems like not a lot have happened in Canada while I was away for a month. My friend gifted me an air fryer and taught me […]

HK Trip Review
Returned to Canada early yesterday morning after a month-long trip to HK. I relied on my good old friend who dropped me off the airport a month ago to pick me up again in the cold early Saturday morning. Felt good to be back to my familiar quiet home and finding everything just the way […]

A Time to Meet & Mourn
It was a busy week of meetups. Had a total of 7 meetups with friends in 4 days. The only 2 days my schedule was open I had dinner with my parents. I had to rely on my digital scheduler to keep track of everything. Being an introvert, the meetups with so many people in […]

A Time to Meet
Been back to HK for more than a week now. The city still felt as though it’s under a dark gloomy veil from the Wang Fuk fire tragedy. The introverted side of me utilized the city-wide mourning as an excuse not to socialize. But as the time of my visit quickly runs out, I started […]

A Time to Mourn
Arrived in Hong Kong for a month-long visit on Thursday night. I only started hearing about the tragic fire in Tai Po hours before my flight while I was packing my luggage in the middle of the night. Discussed about it with the friend who kindly drove me to the airport in the very early […]

Personal Finance
Made a major accomplishment a couple of weeks ago. I finally made my first ever financial investment after a long studying period (2-3 weeks) and after some self-conducted research (another week) and after overcoming some minor technical difficulties in setting up the investment account! What did I buy for my inaugural self-directed investment? Just some […]

Starting New
Had a somewhat productive week. Finally started my plan of setting up a sustainable design studio here in Canada by registering for a new domain name. Will officially register for the company once I have my business email and phone number ready. Besides the domain name registration, I managed to do a few other things: […]

A Little Pause
Not long after I messaged my mom that I have been staying healthy and never got sick in the past two or so months since returning to Canada, I started feeling unwell on Monday. Couldn’t remember the last time I got sick, but living alone and still hadn’t had my health card renewed with the […]
