New Daily Routine
In the last couple of weeks, I’ve started a new daily (almost) habit of practicing calligraphy and portraiture drawing using a brush pen. As much as I love doing art, I’m still very skeptical about the idea of becoming a full-time (starving) artist. Since my uncle got really sick earlier this year and later passed […]

UW Alumni TBOD
Attracted by the presentation title Science & Entrepreneurship, I decided to join a formal alumni event of my former alma mater for the first time after moving back to HK for 7 or 8 years. The talk was basically a presentation of the facts and milestones of the university’s initiative in incubating tech startups in the university town […]

(Starving) Artist?
It’s been nearly a year since I had my first calligraphy class. It all started from a calligraphy course ad at my residence’s clubhouse, I only hinted about trying it out and my dad immediately called up his old friend (also my old family doctor) who happened to be a calligraphy master. He called me up […]

Meaning of Life?
My uncle’s (father’s younger brother) liver cancer has relapsed and my aunt was told to prepare for the worst. It’s time like this that makes me stop and question about the meaning of life. Just when I was starting to procrastinate about the many things still unfinished before the end of the year, my uncle’s news […]

Movies and Dreams
After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose. Did a brief stay-cation […]

Starving for Art
I felt a sudden urge to do art recently. I think it all started on the Sunday morning when I arrived early at JCCAC before the craft fair. I arrived there after Sunday service, with a couple of idle hours before the start of fair, I slowly strolled around the quiet building. Passed by many […]

Friday Night without Fellowship
There’s no fellowship tonight, and with nothing else better to do, I stayed and worked in the studio. I have no life, I know. My friend and I was recently notified that our application for a handcraft fair on Sept.10-11 was accepted, it’ll be a great opportunity to finally reveal to the outside world some of my […]

DeeSIGNERS 2.0
Finally finished renovating the website for my IT work! It’s been a long time since I last designed a website… I thought about moving away from my IT career and focus my time and energy to learn and explore sustainable and “printable” design, but there are still many areas I wish to explore with the […]

Monday Artist
I’m slowly morphing myself into a Monday Artist. In addition to my weekly evening oil painting and watercolor classes, I had spent the afternoon of my Creative Monday toying with a fountain pen, my recent infatuation. Had the opportunity to get to know some full-time artists through my painting classes, they spend their days teaching […]

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 […]
