Childhood Neighborhood Visit
Got up really early and made a rehearsal drive to the bus station where I’ll be taking the bus downtown to the half-marathon starting point tomorrow morning. Still very early afterwards, I decided to go visit my childhood neighborhood. Started a long walk in the nature trail at around the time I’ll be starting the […]

More Hospitability
Been back to my “home and native” land for about 10 days already, and I’m still constantly experiencing friends’ warm welcome and hospitality! Had 3 different meet and catch-up meals with old friends over the pass weekend, there were lots of joy and laughters. Many friends seeing how much I missed Canada suggested I move […]

Creative Monday
Finished my Chinese calligraphy practice early today. Spent a little time picking up watercolor afterwards. I haven’t done any serious watercolor painting since started taking calligraphy classes more than a year ago. I’m considering to join a watercolor contest that’s closing end of month (just 2 days left ?). I know full well that my watercolor […]

UW Alumni TBOD
Attracted by the presentation title Science & Entrepreneurship, I decided to join a formal alumni event of my former alma mater for the first time after moving back to HK for 7 or 8 years. The talk was basically a presentation of the facts and milestones of the university’s initiative in incubating tech startups in the university town […]
