Good Friends
Finally had my flat tire fixed at a friend’s shop on Wednesday. Apparently, it was due to a leaky valve attached to the old rim and had nothing to do with the new tires I bought from a bball friend who recently started his venture of selling tires. The childhood friend who passed on the […]

Some Milestones
Turned 47 on Friday, how did I get so old all of a sudden?! Life moves on… A few UW friends came out for a little celebration while watching the first Canada team game on home turf for World Cup. The Canada team scored its first ever World Cup point and tied the match. Apparently […]

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 […]

Hongkong-ness
Picked up the slack this past week and had spent more time setting up the studio space and less time staring meaninglessly at my investment portfolio value going up and down. Bought a couple of used furniture for the studio, felt good to be giving some useful objects a second chance before they end up […]

First Week of 2026
Trump’s administration surprised the world with the capture of Venezuela’s dictator last weekend. I had been pouring a lot of time watching news trying to grasp the implications for Canada, HK, and the entire world’s geopolitical environment. I feel worried and couldn’t quite know how to react. The stock market reacted positively and the TSX […]

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 […]

June
Have been continuously working on renovating the small den at home. The DIY “bunk bed” I imagined had a little stability issue and I had to design some new custom 3D-printed components to strengthen a small cantilevered cavity. The issue had now been successfully overcome and I should be able to put in the finishing […]

Exercising
After days of unfamiliar boredom, some drama by the head in chief of Canada’s southern neighbor and by my studio’s neighbors in HK stirred up some ripples in my quiet and unproductive life. The sudden and chaotic trade war that was unjustifiably initiated by Mr. Trump in the south made news more entertaining while hurting […]

(Tri) Weekly Update
Don’t know where I’ve spent all my time in the past few weeks, let me think… My first mini art exhibition started more than a week ago. Using the exhibition as an opening conversation, I managed to contact many friends I haven’t messaged for months, and I got back many congratulations in return. Frankly, it […]
