Atypical Sunday
My typical Sunday routine includes attending church’s Sunday service, followed by dim sum with family, and avoid going back to the studio. Today was atypical in that I was really late for church (my sister and brother-in-law needed finish watching Olympics volleyball finals first), skipped dim sum with family (I was trying to stay away […]

Sick Day
Woke up with a minor sore throat and light fever, decided to take a day off and rest at home. I can’t remember the last time I spent the afternoon at home on a weekday. Managed to read the entire book of Ezra and prepare the ppt for tomorrow’s fellowship while taking a few naps […]

The joy of exploring the huge ship […]

Sickness
Woke up with a high fever of 104 degrees early Friday morning. I whatsapped my family group and my brother downstairs was the first to pick up and soon drove me to the hospital. There was a stream of panicky messages among my siblings in the group all the while my parents were still sleeping. […]

Website Revamp
Finally took the time to revamp this dusty old website. The previous version had quite a few glitches that I’ve grown to ignore and find my ways around, I’ve managed to kill some of the bugs in this update. Over the past couple of years, I seemed to have grown more “social” and relied on […]

(Busy) CNY 2016
I was really looking forward to this year’s CNY holiday – reading books, cleaning up my home and studio, plantings, painting, meeting up some old friends, resting and doing some planning for the year ahead… But I’ve done almost none of that and was instead pretty much occupied for most days by family and church […]

1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]

Health
Took the time to read my body check report, everything looks ok, thankful. Recently caught a cold/flu, not too serious, but my family seemed quite worried and urged me many times to take cold/flu pills. I rejected as I prefer to let my body’s immune system to take its natural course of healing. The fact […]

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 […]

Father’s Day
When you were young and didn’t know any better, you were prone to make all kinds of silly unrealistic promises… I think I was 7 or 8 years old when I made the bold promise of buying a Rolls-Royce and hiring a chauffeur for my father. Years passed, but both my father and I still […]
