July 1st, 2013
Thought hard about joining the July 1st protest to show my disapproval of the current Chief Executive of the city, but chickened out the last minute. I could have blamed it on the poor weather or the tiredness from running, but I know good well that those are nothing but excuses. I still very much […]

NBA Game 7
Although I haven’t watched a NBA game for the entire season, I really felt the urge to catch the last game this morning. On my way to work, I kept an eye out for restaurants that may broadcast the game, and I also asked my “coworkers” for possible venues to watch the game near the […]

Soul Searching (Art)
Finished my first painting for the current oil painting course, not too satisfied, but I don’t seem to care as much now. I’m still very much enjoying the process – the weekly 2-hour worry-free and quiet time with just me and the canvas. With the power of FB, I stumbled upon the info of one […]

A Leisure Saturday
I was called out to drink with my friends after fellowship last night, one of them came back from Toronto to visit and will be leaving next week, so I was reluctant to reject. We had a little fun playing foosball, something I used to play often at one of my previous job, but can […]

Sudden Cold Weather
The temperature suddenly dropped from 2x degrees to as low as 14 degrees in the last couple of days. I was reluctant to leave my warm bed and resulted in getting up slightly late this morning. With the relatively colder temperature and gloomy days, I was able to lock myself in the studio without worrying […]

Cartooning
Gave myself a break today to work on a poster design for my fellowship back in Toronto. Having left that fellowship for quite a few years now, I feel flattered that they still remember me when they needed to design a poster. But at the same time, I’m a little worried about the fellowship for […]

Non-Residency
It has been 2.5+ years since I moved back to HK and I just determined on this very day to file for non-residency of Canada. Although this is the right thing to do, I’m feeling a weird sense of betrayal to a country that have nurtured me for about half my life. Farewell Canada, you’ll […]

Design Competition
Submitted my design for the Towngas Street Art competition today. Thought about submitting it later to see if I might be able to come up with better ideas, but I kind of want to get this over with and get back to doing some real work. Regardless, the time spent on designing was fun, and […]

Iron Ring Replacement
Had dinner with some UW friends and their other halves. Thankful that my friend brought back my iron ring replacement from across the globe – it will serve as a constant reminder of the new year’s resolution I’ve made at the start of 2012!

Tiredness
Didn’t sleep too well for the last couple of nights. Actually woke up from a vivid nightmare last night, haven’t had one of those dreams for awhile. Feeling a bit tired this weekend… Looking back this week, I’ve put in a bit over 19 hours to my freelance work, much less than a regular 40-hour […]
