Sister and Nieces in Town
My sister and 2 nieces from Toronto had been back for about a week, I had been spending more time with them and less time doing work (always thankful for a flexible work schedule). But it’s December already, and I’m starting to procrastinate on the many things I wish to finish before the end of 2016! […]
Old KWCACers Meetup
A friend from my old UW fellowship organised a small gathering to celebrate another b/s’ birthday, I was more than happy to join because I haven’t met up with them for months, if not years. It just so happened that I was the only guy in the meet up, I was feeling a little awkward […]
Trump Won?!
Was brainstorming on a poster design for my church’s upcoming evangelical meeting while being notified of the US election result… Beside Canada, Americans may consider applying citizenship for the Kingdom of God, that may be easier than moving to Mars! Decided to take the design opportunity to do some cartooning, something I haven’t done for […]
JF Hike
The annoying hot summer weather in HK seems to be finally fading, and the typhoon and associated rain did not hit as forecasted, perfect weather for our fellowship to kickoff the first hike of the year! It’s really refreshing to be immersed in nature and away from the urban concrete jungle once in a while. HK […]
Holiday
Had been a little busy for a week or so as I tried to complete the website for my studio before Q2 ended, just barely made it to have it launched yesterday! Decided to take a day off to rest and not to join the annual protest this afternoon. Spent some solitude time in the […]
A Week of Fiery News
The major local news headline this week was about an industrial building not far from my studio that caught fire. Battling the fire was extremely difficult because the building was used as a mini storage facility that seemed to the firefighters like a maze cluttered with uncountable boxes of unknown personal objects. The fire burned […]
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!
Iron Ring
Recently made a cable-stayed bridge model in the studio, just for fun really, and I figured there’s probably no better place to put my iron ring than inside a bridge (model) I’ve designed and built! It feels a little strange not having the ring on my pinkie after all these years, feels like leaving behind […]
Feeling Low
Feeling a little low lately. I think it all started when one of my best friends declared last Friday that he’ll be moving back to Canada with his wife and near 1 year old baby. He said he didn’t want his kid to grow up in a society that’s full of lies. I wouldn’t blame […]
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 […]
