Goodbye?
After 5 weekly classes, I said good bye to my seal carving teacher and classmate on Thur night. Though I probably wouldn’t recommend the instructor to others, I did learn from him what’s needed to carve my own seals for a recent project. During my calligraphy class that afternoon, my teacher said he’ll hand down […]

Busy and Tiring Week
After slacking off the previous week, the past week had been relatively busy and tiring. Much of my time and effort was spent cleaning up the studio to prepare for some important guests to visit on Sat. Another large chunk of time was spent outside the studio to meet with friends and family, that included […]

Slacking
Had been slacking from work this past week. The most meaningful work I had done in the studio was reviving my ancient CNC machine that had been sitting collecting dust for I don’t know how many years. A friend visited the studio on Mon. afternoon, so I spent most of the day with him. Took […]

A Good Week
The past week was probably the best week I had since returning to this city in mid-Sept. Took a day off on Wed. to visit the M+ Museum for the first time with a friend. Felt like a tourist in this city that seems to be getting more and more unfamiliar to me. Met and […]

A Sad Week
Following a memorable bday long weekend, the past week was by contrast rather sad… Went to the airport to farewell an old family friend whom I know for over 30 years on Tuesday. Saw his parents and sister for the first time in many years, they obviously were sad to see their son (and 2y/o […]

After bringing back this gift with me to HK for a little over a year, I’ve finally finished reading it from front to back! Now is the time […]

A New Start
The Chinese New Year has quickly come and gone. Today is just a few days short of my half-anniversary of returning to HK, nothing much had been accomplished or changed, I’m still my old unmotivated self with lots of bad habits intact. Subconsciously, I was hoping the change in environment would help me start life […]

Goodbye Canada…
In less than 3 hours, I’ll be heading to the airport saying farewell to a country I’ve spent more than half my life in… I’m leaving this place with an anxious mind, but at the same time with a heart full of thankfulness. I’m thankful that God had blessed me with such wonderful friends here […]

Farewell Dinner
I had the farewell dinner with my church b/s tonight. I truly feel blessed that God allowed me to be surrounded by such wonderful people every week. The truth is, I’ll probably miss them as much as they’ll miss me…

Week of Gatherings
I had the pleasure to meet up and farewell many of my friends this week. Friends including colleagues from my last 2 workplaces (GS1 Canada, SCI) and from school (UTSC, UW). I’ve even met up with friends from highschool (EHSS) and elementary school (Steelesview PS)! I’m thankful to be always surrounded by friends – friends […]
