Successfully rented and watched a movie through the Apple TV for the first time tonight. My 6 y/o nephew was generous enough to pay for the rental, it’s good that he experiences the joyfulness of sharing his wealth with others at a young age. Enjoyed the movie, I have such a soft spot for animations. […]

<<越扭越有計>>
The kids were out visiting their grandparents the whole day, and I was alone in the house with nothing to do. It was a bit too hot to go outside, and I thought about doing some work for my freelancing, but ended up persuading myself to wait for the kids to move back to their […]

Extremely Hot Week
Hot weather warning had been issued every single day this week! Didn’t seem to be sleeping too well for the last few nights even though I turned on A/C, and I felt as though I was suffering from a persistent light fever during the day. Checked the climate data of HK, and there’s a good […]

Dissertation – PASSED!
Results were finally out this afternoon and I was happy to know that my dissertation received a satisfactory grade! I can finally tell the world that I’m done with school!!

Access Card Returned
Returned the access card to my lab/classroom this afternoon, that was my last piece of school property. Still waiting for my dissertation to be graded before I can tell the world that I finished school! Debating if I should buy a laptop while I can still take advantage of the student discount. I don’t need […]

Week Without Kids
The apartment had been very quiet since my father, nephews and niece went to Canada for vacation. I’ve spent much of the week mocking up a design for a website revamp project, signalling my return to the freelance scene. Had been asked a few times about my career now that I don’t have to attend […]

Summer “Staycation”
When I came back from Toronto a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to immediately buy a laptop and kickstart my freelance career once again. But I didn’t anticipate 2 things: the laptop that I wanted to buy may get an upgrade very soon 3 kids (nephews and niece) would move into my apartment this […]

Downtown Toronto
Went downtown for the first time in this vacation, it’s so inconvenient to get to the vibrant city center now that I’m staying way up North in the suburbs. Had a veal sandwich for lunch at St. Lawrence Market, briefly visited GBC (where I learned to sketch), then sat in a small park across the […]

A New Venture
Had a sushi dinner with 3 of my UW classmates at a restaurant I haven’t been to for years. Then I met up with 2 other classmates for drinks and to watch Game 5 of NBA Finals (Way to go Dallas!). Too bad all 6 of us couldn’t meet at the same time, but I’m […]

Pixar: 25 Years of Animation
Took my 6 y/o nephew to see the Pixar exhibition, it’s been months since I last took him out. Other than the occasional nagging to do this/that like all children, it’s always delightful to hear him openly talk and reason. I probably enjoyed seeing the sketches and drafts in the exhibition more than my nephew, […]
