Busy Week
As expected, it had been a busy week with work. There were nights when I worked till 2 or 3 am, good thing I’m not obligated to wake up early (I woke up pass 11am on Sat and I was 10 minutes late meeting up my sister and brother-in-law for breakfast and church this morning). […]
(Not so relaxing) Sunday
For many years, I’ve been dedicating my Sundays to rest and to spend time with my family. I did pretty much the same things today – breakfast with sister and brother-in-law before church, followed by dim sum with the rest of my family after the service. After getting home from dim sum, I would usually […]
Japan Trip
The short 5-day Japan trip came to a close last night as we arrived at HK Airport about 30 minutes before midnight. I kind of wished I could stay for one more day in Hiroshima because a ceremony to commemorate the devastating atomic bomb in 1945 will be held there the next day. I wished […]
Family Trip to Japan
I always seem to do my traveling in August. I still vividly remember the time spent in Hawaii last August to attend my friend’s wedding, it unexpectedly turned out to be one of the best vacation ever. And for this August, 6 family members (including me) decided to join a short tour to Japan. The […]
723 Studio
I had imagined many times what the grand opening of my studio would be like – a cozy and joyful celebration with light snacks and drinks to serve family and friends. But I’ve been a bit too busy with work lately that I couldn’t find time to properly prepare for this big day. Instead of […]
KWCACers Reunion
A friend decided to move back to Toronto with his wife and son, it hastened our old Waterloo fellowship b/s to finally meet up. The last time we met was more than a year ago. It was good catching up with everyone and knowing that everyone is doing ok. One of the most asked question […]
35th Birthday
Gave myself a day-off and visited the Studio Ghibli Layout Designs exhibition in the afternoon. It was amazing seeing the thousands of sketches from the many familiar animated films I had watched over the past, I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to produce a couple of hours of animation. Had dinner […]
Career Plan
After ~10 years of post-secondary study, I’ve finally decided to frame and hang all the grad certificates in the studio. If what Einstein once said “imagination is more important than knowledge” is true, why have I spent so much time and money gaining knowledge? Not sure how to answer that, but I’m thankful for the […]
Funeral
Attended my first ever funeral service in HK, it was for my brother’s father-in-law. I only had the honour to meet the man a couple of times, and knowing that he had believed in Jesus while on the hospital bed, I wasn’t too saddened because there’s hope that I’ll meet him again someday at a […]
Spontaneous Saturday
Enjoying my spontaneous Saturdays more and more. My parents usually play mahjong on Saturdays, and without painting classes now, I’m rather free to meet up with my good friend – Ms. Spontaneity. Spent most of my day in the studio, caught up with some TV shows while doing a little cartooning. Colored my newly designed […]
