Transitioning…
Made considerable progress in shifting my focus away from my financial investments this past week. The trick I used to ease my addiction of constantly checking my investments during market hours was simply to leave the laptop at the studio. I can still check my investments and trade stocks via the tablet at home, but […]

Shifting Focus
Last weekend marks the first anniversary of my investment journey. With my parents’ many years of constant nagging, I finally took the time to learn some of the basics of economics and stocks investment and bought my very first stocks on August 8th of last year. In the course of the year, I had invested […]

Back To Regularity
With the World Cup event finally over, life this past week had resumed to a more regular fashion. I went back to the studio every single day, usually starting from late afternoons till evenings (7-ish). There were one or two nights I stayed past midnight waiting for 3D print jobs to finish. One of the […]

One Month
It has already been a month since I returned from my HK trip, time really flies. I had kept myself busy this past week with a mix of events, friends meetups, and studio work. On Thursday May 35th, besides meeting up a couple of good old UW classmates for lunch, I kept myself informed with […]

Hongkong-ness
Picked up the slack this past week and had spent more time setting up the studio space and less time staring meaninglessly at my investment portfolio value going up and down. Bought a couple of used furniture for the studio, felt good to be giving some useful objects a second chance before they end up […]

Time really passed by too fast, just realized it had been nearly a month since I last posted. Many things, mostly happy things, happened in March. A friend was in town for work and I had a chance to meet some of her close friends here, it brought back some fond memories of my UW […]

One Month Back
More than 3 weeks had passed in 2026 and I had returned to Canada from my HK trip for about a month already. Time flies. I started picking up doing some art and design again in the past couple of weeks. Spent a lot of time on the second week of January to work on […]

New Year 2026
Returned to Canada for just over a week, I’m slowly adapting to the slower and quieter life here once again. Started meeting and catching up with some friends here. Seems like not a lot have happened in Canada while I was away for a month. My friend gifted me an air fryer and taught me […]

Back to Designing
Had meetups on Tue, Wed, Thur, and Sat this past week. Also had 3 family gatherings on top of that. I did enjoy seeing and catching up with friends, but the frequent meetups in the past few weeks had exhausted much of my energy. After my lunch meetup with a friend on Tuesday, I visited […]

End of Summer
I started playing basketball again after moving back to Canada. It’s all thanks to a friend (ex-coworker) who introduced me to his special group of basketball friends who have met each other from playing in the same court for over 10 or even 20 years. Yesterday was the last time a few of us will […]
