Weekly Update…
Skipped a week of updates because I was too tired last Sunday after joining the city’s rally against the extradition to mainland rule.
The rally had the largest number of protesters since the Umbrella Movement, there was a sense of hope I felt afterwards. But will our stubborn Government listen to their people?
There are a few things happening with me these days that are outside of my regular work/church/family routines:
- Working on setting up a mini exhibition of my ink works. They’re not finished works but rather practice works along my ink-obsessed journey which began about 3 years ago when I started learning Chinese calligraphy.
- In addition to being persuaded to use a dating app a few weeks back, my friends formed a whatsapp group to discuss the app and dating in general. I find the whole thing really funny and I kept telling them how using the app to find matching partners is so much like our UW days of using the co-op system to find matching jobs. LOL.
- Started taking an introductory 3D animation course on Saturday afternoons. Finished 3 classes, 7 more to go.
Weekly Update…
The past week didn’t seem as dramatic as previous weeks, but still had its memorable highlights:
- Wed, met up with my woodworking friend in Tuen Mun to discuss some possible collaboration for an upcoming exhibition
- Fri, housewarming in Sai Kung, met up with my UW classmates, I got persuaded to tryout a dating app
- Sat, dropped off my artworks and saw a Chinese calligraphy exhibition in Central. Crazy storm broke out when I stepped in the ferry to TST, a very memorable ride! Saw an Easter musical at church in the evening
Weekly Update
The past week was another rollercoaster ride of highs and lows…
- It started off on a light happy note with the ex-Chief of HK appearing on a creative ad on the front page of a local newspaper. It got me thinking about advertising, crowdfunding, freedom of press, etc
- Mom entered and stayed in the hospital for 4 days for a thorough body check. Report will be out in 10 days, hopefully everything will be ok and that we can find out the root cause of her fainting earlier
- Some of the Umbrella Movement leaders were charged guilty. I was really touched by the testimony of Rev. Chu, may God bless him and many others who are being persecuted for their selfless act
- I was kept busy most of the week screen printing tote bags for my fellowship. Came across some technical difficulties and couldn’t finish them for our fellowship’s anniversary celebration
- With mom’s recent fainting episode, my family reached a consensus to grant my mom’s long time wish of hiring a full time helper. I really abhor the whole system of importing foreign labor, providing them second class living conditions and low wages. Moreover, I couldn’t afford to lose any more of the little personal space I have for living with my mom, so I raised the concern and started thinking about moving out. It seemed like a good solution as my mom will get the help she needed and I will get the personal space I needed. My family (except my mom) didn’t object to that idea. It will not be an easy transition for my mom, but it’s probably better for her and for me. May God bless this big but still premature plan my family decided today
