Sickness (Part II)
My sickness continued. It’s very minor, just prolonged. Felt weak and vulnerable, an unexpectedly good feeling. I am reminded of one time when I got seriously sick when I was living by myself in Toronto. Death didn’t feel too far from me then, I was half-conscious and struggled immensely in my mind saying to myself […]

Marathon
Finally submitted my assignment last night, I’ve spent much of my time this week working on it. Relief! I chose one of the buildings for the upcoming Shanghai World Expo 2010 as the case study, so the end of the assignment is actually a new beginning for my research of the much anticipated Expo. While […]

A New Start
The Chinese New Year has quickly come and gone. Today is just a few days short of my half-anniversary of returning to HK, nothing much had been accomplished or changed, I’m still my old unmotivated self with lots of bad habits intact. Subconsciously, I was hoping the change in environment would help me start life […]

Sustainable Energy – without the hot air
Completed the recommended reading for a course. The book is great as it answered a lot of the questions I’ve always pondered. It’s free too! Looking at some of the graphs from the book, I realized that I’m now living more sustainably in HK compared to Canada. This is an unintended good thing. It kind […]

Reminiscence
Reminiscence – recall to mind of a long-forgotten experience or fact. A wedding last night turned out to be somewhat of a reunion for me and my old UW housemates. We were leisurely playing “Big 2” when we suddenly started talking about the good old days when time still seemed plenty. We could easily spend […]

East Asian Games 2009
My friend had an extra ticket for the table tennis matches today, so I took the liberty to entertain myself watching a game I used to love but haven’t played for ages. The HK women team won the group gold medal over team China! It was surprisingly exciting and uplifting. I had this peculiar […]

Nostalgia
Most of the time this week was spent reading a book on the critical history of modern architecture. Writings on architecture could be so difficult to understand sometimes, they really have a vocabulary of its own. Perhaps the most rewarding thing I got out of reading the book is a word I looked up – […]

Goodbye Canada…
In less than 3 hours, I’ll be heading to the airport saying farewell to a country I’ve spent more than half my life in… I’m leaving this place with an anxious mind, but at the same time with a heart full of thankfulness. I’m thankful that God had blessed me with such wonderful friends here […]

Farewell Dinner
I had the farewell dinner with my church b/s tonight. I truly feel blessed that God allowed me to be surrounded by such wonderful people every week. The truth is, I’ll probably miss them as much as they’ll miss me…

Elim Fellowship
I’ve been feeling this stress/anxiety building up inside me throughout the week. There were a few nights I couldn’t fall sleep until 4 or 5am. This is not like the stress I feel in exam times, and I don’t recall any similar prior experience. It’s beyond my vocabulary to describe what I’m feeling… I felt […]
