“LIFE IS ONLY ONE”
Been thinking a lot about the concept of time lately. I was woken up suddenly early this morning trying to calculate the age of my father, was he born on 1945? Or was that my mother? I just remember that my mom is 5 years younger than my dad. My parents are still healthy and […]

Another Week
I did get more serious with work this week as I promised myself. I migrated the church’s website (DEMO) to their existing web host, completed the change requests for the only web project I have on hand, and mocked up a poster design for church’s upcoming evangelical meeting. I got a little proud and started […]

I’m Recovered!!
Checked in with the doctor for the last time today, he said I’m totally recovered and no further medication is needed! Thank God. Although costly, my sudden illness seems to me more like a blessing than a curse. Since the inevitable illness started in early Dec., I was given the opportunity to spend more time […]

Studio Cleanup
Spent much of my weekend at the studio. I first dusted off the little illustration/cartooning area and used it to ink and color the illustration for the upcoming fellowship programme card design. I hope to utilize the area more in 2015 and do more illustrations/cartoons on my spare time. I also spent a lot of […]

New Year’s Gift
Like a kid, I asked my parents to buy me a New Year’s gift this year. My mom gave me money earlier, but I insisted that they should go with me to buy the gift together, it’s just more meaningful that way. I wanted a new watch for the gift because the old one that […]

After being diagnosed with AOSD and having spent 12 days at the hospital, I know even better now the importance of rest. Today was a particularly restful Sunday. After a restful sleep, […]

Had dim sum with my parents and my sisters’ families afterwards. There was not much to do in the afternoon, I decided to go to the flower market for […]

Christmas 2014
Didn’t join the Christmas service at church this year because the doctor advised me to avoid crowds while I’m still continuing the medication. Instead, we had the rare occasion to meet up our uncle and aunt for dim sum. They had been battling with some serious illness in recent years, it was good to see […]

Father’s Birthday
It so happens that my father’s lunar birthday is on Silent Night this year. We had hot pot at my brother’s place and took the precious opportunity to take a family photo. The last time our family of 14 had a family photo together was 2 years ago!

Home Sweet Home!
Having spent 12 days at the hospital, it feels especially good to be home again! Thank you again for all your prayers and kind messages. Found a little info about my illness – Adult-onset Still’s Disease (AOSD, http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/adult-onset-stills-disease). The very rare disease is without a known cause nor is it preventable. It’s not infectious either, […]
