Valentine’s Day
Spent the Valentine’s Day in the studio listening to TED Talks while cutting cardboards. Cutting cardboards because I’m in the process of designing and fabricating my first piece of furniture. There was solitude in the simple and repetitive work, I imagined that Jesus might had this similar feeling when he was serving as a carpenter. […]
Mid-Autumn Festival
Got a fair bit of work done today, readying myself for public holiday tomorrow. Had dinner with my family outside before heading to my brother’s place for fruits and some moon gazing.

Had been holding off in starting a venture with a friend, now’s […]
CNY Designs Completed!
Worked till 5am in the morning, managed to finish some CNY designs for my church in less than a day! Hope the designs are ok and not too much changes will be needed. Woke up late this morning (~10am), I probably would’ve slept in even more if I didn’t need to go back to the […]
