One Month
It has already been a month since I returned from my HK trip, time really flies. I had kept myself busy this past week with a mix of events, friends meetups, and studio work. On Thursday May 35th, besides meeting up a couple of good old UW classmates for lunch, I kept myself informed with […]

Wrapping Up Q1
Time really passed by too fast, just realized it had been nearly a month since I last posted. Many things, mostly happy things, happened in March. A friend was in town for work and I had a chance to meet some of her close friends here, it brought back some fond memories of my UW […]

Fresh Start
LNY had quickly come and gone. Temperature returned to double digits last week and the clocks had just sprung forward for an hour overnight. It felt like Spring has returned. Last Monday I started the first class of a workshop focusing on linoleum relieve prints using a Vandercook press. I enrolled in the course to […]

Art
After moving back to Canada for more than a year, I finally started picking up doing some art again. The Print Studio 101 course I enrolled at the beginning of the year did provide the motivation I was hoping for. Weekly class and assignment was of great help to move my lazy butt away from […]

One Month Back
More than 3 weeks had passed in 2026 and I had returned to Canada from my HK trip for about a month already. Time flies. I started picking up doing some art and design again in the past couple of weeks. Spent a lot of time on the second week of January to work on […]

Traveling Jays Fan
Still not completely over the devastating loss of Blue Jays last night. The game was very exciting and we were soooooo close to winning it all in a few opportunities! I only started watching the game for the past 10 games or so as my home team looked more and more like a worthy contender […]

End of Summer
I started playing basketball again after moving back to Canada. It’s all thanks to a friend (ex-coworker) who introduced me to his special group of basketball friends who have met each other from playing in the same court for over 10 or even 20 years. Yesterday was the last time a few of us will […]

Paper Making
Since making my first ever self-conducted investment a few weeks ago, it has become a bit of an addiction to check up my investment accounts compulsively throughout the day during market hours to see how the value of my portfolio fluctuates. Didn’t make a lot of buying or selling, but I’m quite fascinated to see […]

Summer Vacation
Finished reading the last of the investment books I had borrowed from the library. Met up with my childhood friend’s dad for the third and final time before he returned to HK. And on Sunday after returning from church and lunch, I decided to open the expensive LEGO set I bought myself for birthday last […]

Summer Meetups
This past week had been considerably productive. I kept myself busy reading and learning about investing, it’s a topic I’ve been reluctant to touch until I realized it’s something unavoidable. Will give myself one more week to learn before getting my hands wet on making my first self-conducted investment. Besides reading, I managed to discipline […]
