First Art Purchase
In my somewhat long adhoc journey exploring the art world, never have I purchased any piece of original art… that is until today. I was in TST to see an art exhibition in which one of my old oil painting friends was showing a few of her watercolor paintings. I stumbled across two very different […]

The CUHK Handicraft Fair
It has been 2 years since I participated in a craft fair. This one on past Sat. seemed less exhausting, perhaps due to it being only one day and with shorter opening hours. The exhaustion actually came from the preparation work which included designing and launching a website, designing and printing 120 different postcards, and […]

Day Off
Our family and I visited my aunt for lunch. She reminded us that it’s a month short from the time my uncle passed away last year. This is the first CNY that my aunt celebrated without my uncle, she’s still not at all recovered from sadness and told us that she didn’t walk out of […]

Typhoon Hato
Typhoon Hato hit town today, it’s the third time typhoon n0.8 or above was hoisted this year. It’s not difficult to remember because the first time happened on my birthday, the second time on my studio’s birthday, and the third time exactly one month afterwards. I decided to stay home during this crazy weather. The construction site […]

(Starving) Artist, seriously?
It was back in April when I attended my first ever Maker Faire in HK. I took the opportunity to explore the late Zaha Hadid designed building, slowly strolling and ascending the floors before stumbling upon a workshop for DIY bookbinding. One of the instructors gave out postcards she designed, and it just so happened […]

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 […]

Easter Monday
Through a flyer I came across after strolling around a christian bookstore, I discovered and signed up for an art jamming session on this Creative Monday. I’ve been wanting to try out art jamming and learn to paint with acrylics for many years, but passed many opportunities due to timing and cost. Today’s art jamming session […]

2nd Half-Marathon Completed!
Completed my 2nd half-marathon with an improvement of ~15 mins (unofficially) compared to last year! Thankful. Building upon experience from last year, this year’s run seemed more pleasurable and less exhaustive, it felt like I can run an extra 1 or 2k after passing the finish line! Perhaps I can attempt to run a full marathon […]

Date?
I wasn’t lying when I told my old UW fellowship b/s last night that I have a “target” from my church. Indeed, it just so happened that I invited her to go see an art exhibition with me this afternoon. If dating is simply defined as going out with someone you like and get to […]

Umbrella Movement 2nd Anniversary
I remember vividly this night 2 years ago when I went out to witness one of the biggest civil movements in HK, my phone was flooded with messages from family and friends telling me to stay safe… Seeing the recent LegCo election result, I think the eventual Umbrella Movement was not futile, at least it […]
