Glimpse of Hope

Looking back this past week, seems like I had been pretty productive: made good progress on the ink art website fired up the laser cutter and prototyped some 1/10 models visited my woodworking friend in Tuen Mun to discuss the coming fair on 24th and possibly more future collaborations printed out the parts for the […]

What is Life?

Have been pondering about the meaning of life a lot after my uncle passed away.  The question of life and death never felt so near until the traumatic experience of witnessing my uncle losing his life signals before my very eyes.

Laser Cutter/Engraver

Have been slightly busy lately experimenting with a low-power laser cutter/engraver, brought back fond memories of the co-op student days working in the laser micromachining lab in downtown Toronto.  That was way back in 2002, never expected the niche skill set would still be applicable after 10+ years!

6 Years Ago…

On this day 6 years ago I boarded a plane, left Canada and came back to HK.  For the sake of family reunion and unknown career opportunities, I stepped out of my comfort zone and into an unfamiliar land. 6 years has quickly flown by, what have I accomplished?  I’ve finished a MSc. degree studying […]

Joined my weekly oil painting class in the evening.  It […]

Painting Class

Due to illness and holidays, it had been more than a month since I last joined my weekly oil painting class, felt good to be painting behind the easel again. A few of the classmates asked about my illness and wished me good health, they even saved me the chocolates and cookies they gave out […]

Day 25 – A Day at School

Realized that it has been more than a month since the boycotting of classes began on 9.22… It took 87 tear gas bombs, unmeasurable amount of pepper spray, and numerous baton beating for the Government to finally face the political issue head on with a (fruitless) dialogue with the student leaders.  What’s next? There was […]

Day Off

Took a day off because I signed up to attend some seminars at my Alma Mater. The seminars starts at 11am, so I figured today would be a nice day to start a new routine of getting up early. Woke up at around 6:30am, had a light breakfast while reading the news, then I went […]
