New Tools
Invested in some Dremel tools today – little by little I’m turning a part of the studio into my dream DIY space, feels a bit like going back to the enjoyable highschool DT/shop classes. I cannot be more thankful for this studio space, really need to devise a plan that’s sustainable economically, environmentally, and socially.

Thanksgiving Challenge – Day 2/5
Work – I used to think a lot about my career path, but looking back it seems many jobs actually came knocking at the door without me seeking, they seemed to have been prepared for me in advance. Now I’m learning not to plan or worry about my career but to follow His guidance and […]

723 Studio
I had imagined many times what the grand opening of my studio would be like – a cozy and joyful celebration with light snacks and drinks to serve family and friends. But I’ve been a bit too busy with work lately that I couldn’t find time to properly prepare for this big day. Instead of […]

Career Plan
After ~10 years of post-secondary study, I’ve finally decided to frame and hang all the grad certificates in the studio. If what Einstein once said “imagination is more important than knowledge” is true, why have I spent so much time and money gaining knowledge? Not sure how to answer that, but I’m thankful for the […]

There was a DIY fair at the JCCAC this weekend, it was a good opportunity for a social activity with a couple of my primary school buddies – one of them is interested in seeing architectural renewal projects and the other knows a friend who has a booth set up there. I didn’t go without […]

Was occupied by work for the last couple of Fridays and couldn’t allocate an uninterrupted period of time to do creative work. It was good to be able to put aside my computer and indulge in a little DIY activity today. Had been thinking over the past, and thinking more frequently recently, would it be […]

Work Friday
Had to skip my Creative Friday due to work. Suddenly got busy as I accepted a somewhat urgent freelance website work, it was more to help a friend out than to work for the money. I would rather spend the time to kick-start a new exciting venture that I’ve been discussing with a good friend. […]

Job Application
With a bit of spontaneity, I’ve sent out my first job application in HK today! I wasn’t really looking for a job per se, but I came across a part-time research position that seemed like a perfect match for me. The job nature seemed right (research, part-time), the field (architecture, sustainability) is something I’m really […]

Father’s Birthday
Father’s birthday is a few days away, and our family celebrated it early tonight. My parents had been wanting to see what I’ve done with the studio, and since the dining venue is nearby, I invited my whole family over to take a family photo before heading for dinner. It was the first time the […]

Competition Entry Submitted!
Slept for probably just about 4 hours last night, and was hard at work in front of my computer most of the day without the slightest nap. Finally got my design submitted to a competition just before midnight, hours before the deadline! I would never get things done if not for deadlines, the power of […]
