An Unusal Week
I’m a rather habitual person, so it felt a little uncomfortable when my daily routine got out of wack since my mother’s accident on Monday. Instead of going to the office, I decided to work from home again since it’s much closer to the hospital, very little got done however. Visited my mother at the […]
Mother’s Chinese Name
Visited mother at the hospital despite being told by her every time not to do so. I’m sure she liked seeing us despite what she says, wouldn’t life be so much simpler if women speaks their mind?! On the sign above her bed that used to say my mother must lie in bed was an […]
Running
Missed my weekly running session for the past weekend due to friends’ gatherings, the running bug was itching, so I went for an early evening jog tonight. Ran 10k, for some reason, breathing seemed particularly difficult and I seemed to be a bit more tired than usual tonight. It seemed like an appropriate time to […]
Mother Hospitalized
Mother injured her spine falling off a chair, she was trying to put away some of my winter clothes. The first thing that came up my mind was to scold at her for I’ve told her a million times that I’m capable of tidying up my own rooms. Thank God that I was able to […]
A Real Studio?!
I don’t remember for how long and to how many people I’ve been saying that I wanted to rent an industrial unit as a studio/workshop to do some messy work (e.g. painting, soldering, woodworking,…), and I may have just found one today, and possibly for $0 rent too! It just so happens that my family […]
34th Birthday
I’m one of those people who likes to hide his birthday on FB, not that I’m afraid of revealing my age, I just don’t really think that’s something important. After all, I don’t remember having read anything about a birthday celebration in the bible. Having said that, I was a bit anxious last night to […]
Uncle’s Operation
Uncle had an operation tonight to have some of his liver’s cancerous tissues removed, I joined my sister to visit him at the hospital. We arrived at around 8pm, but the operation wasn’t finished until ~10pm (it was a ~5-hour operation). During the 2-hour wait outside the operation room, I silently observed many patients being […]
Running
It’s been more than 3 weeks since I last jogged, this is partly due to the rainy season and mainly due to my laziness. I could hardly keep up with my breathing and my mind was blank and couldn’t keep a thought going. Ended up with one of my poorest run ever – 10 km […]
Mother’s Day
Spent a little time on this Mother’s Day weekend to tend my “farm” at home. Delivered some baby succulents and planted them as a living ornamental gift for my friends’ house-warming present. The Mother’s Day gift I made for my mother last year has grown quite a lot over the year, quite amazing. This is […]
Running & Self-Confidence
Went running this evening before the forecasted rainy days hit the city tomorrow. Was planning to run 10k, but was messaged by my friend about a badminton court being booked for tomorrow, so I just ran ~6k. The truth is, I probably couldn’t finish 10k even if I tried, a bit out of shape and […]
