Shifting Gear…
Finally finished with the redesign of a temporary clothing rack at home to replace the old collapsing one. This new design actually collapsed a few times during assembling, hopefully it will stand for at least a month or so until I move out of the apt and out of the city. Also made considerable progress […]

End of Olympics
The little over 2 weeks of Olympic Games provided a good distraction from my daily routine of cleaning my home and studio. I seemed to be more engaged in watching the games this time than 3 years ago held in Tokyo amid the pandemic. HK did great with 2 golds and 2 bronzes, best result […]

Studio Cleanup
Designed and made a couple of shelving units at the studio using some old Ikea boards, papertubes, and custom 3D printed joints. The extra shelving units added some much needed space for organizing miscellaneous things at the studio. After a few weeks of dedicated work, the studio is now more or less cleaned up! My […]

Cleanup Started
Helped my friend move his new giant 3D printer up into his workshop on Wednesday. It required the effort of 5 ppl (including 1 stranger) to move it up a ramp. It was my first time visiting the spacious workshop my friend started renting earlier this year together with an artist friend and another company. […]

Plan Postponed
Today is a “sensitive day” according to the local government officials. It’s sad to witness the city deteriorate to a point where people are afraid of merely saying the two numerical digits “64” and commemorating publicly what happened on this day 35 years ago. It feels suffocating to live in a city where we’re constantly […]

I thought of an ingenious way of doing the traditional movable type. Should be able complete a functional prototype for friends to test in coming weeks! The deadline I set for myself […]

End of Q1
Many things seem to be ending in March before the start of a new fiscal year. I asked a friend out for lunch on Monday at my primary school friend’s fancy Japanese restaurant in TST because it will be closing in coming weeks. While being outside away from my usual locality, I decided to venture […]

Meetups
After isolating myself for one full week to focus on some calligraphy work, I had myself a very enjoyable weekend of meetups. It was kickstarted by a hotpot gathering at a paper artisan friend’s workshop on Friday night. I had the opportunity to meet many eco-conscious friends. On Saturday night, I met up with some […]

Meetups and Farewells
Except for Tuesday, I had been meeting up friends every weekday this past week! After returning to HK for 2 months, I finally contacted and met up with a friend’s friend on Monday to help deliver a gift from Canada. It was nice to meet and chat with a fellow Canadian and UW alumni. Farewelled […]
