Shifting Focus
Last weekend marks the first anniversary of my investment journey. With my parents’ many years of constant nagging, I finally took the time to learn some of the basics of economics and stocks investment and bought my very first stocks on August 8th of last year. In the course of the year, I had invested […]

More Meetups
Met up with a UW classmate last Sunday at my studio before she flew back to US. Really glad we got to meet and catch up after missing the meetup the week before. Another UW friend was visiting from HK and I was invited to join their group dinner meetup before he flew back two […]

Back To Regularity
With the World Cup event finally over, life this past week had resumed to a more regular fashion. I went back to the studio every single day, usually starting from late afternoons till evenings (7-ish). There were one or two nights I stayed past midnight waiting for 3D print jobs to finish. One of the […]

Saying Goodbyes
Attended a good friend’s funeral on Friday to say my final goodbye through prayers. If I’m not forgetting, I think he was the first among my friends to pass away, he’s only 10 years older than me. I attempted to draw a portrait of him in remembrance of his kindness and encouragement and gifted it […]

Good Friends
Finally had my flat tire fixed at a friend’s shop on Wednesday. Apparently, it was due to a leaky valve attached to the old rim and had nothing to do with the new tires I bought from a bball friend who recently started his venture of selling tires. The childhood friend who passed on the […]

After a tiring week at the studio and after knowing about the devastating news of a friend’s brother (also my friend) sudden passing away, I decided to take some time off work. The gloomy weather was good for me to watch World Cup […]

Tiring Week
After a long tiring week of preparation for an event on Saturday, and a day of long hour driving chauffeuring a good friend’s relatives visiting from HK to see the Niagara Falls on Sunday, I was exhausted and slept relatively early (around midnight) on Sunday. Had a refreshing sleep and woke up naturally at around […]

Some Milestones
Turned 47 on Friday, how did I get so old all of a sudden?! Life moves on… A few UW friends came out for a little celebration while watching the first Canada team game on home turf for World Cup. The Canada team scored its first ever World Cup point and tied the match. Apparently […]

It has already been a month since I returned from my HK trip, time really flies. I had kept myself busy this past week with a mix of events, friends meetups, and studio work. On Thursday May 35th, besides meeting up a couple of good old UW classmates for lunch, I kept myself informed with […]
