First Week of 2026
Trump’s administration surprised the world with the capture of Venezuela’s dictator last weekend. I had been pouring a lot of time watching news trying to grasp the implications for Canada, HK, and the entire world’s geopolitical environment. I feel worried and couldn’t quite know how to react. The stock market reacted positively and the TSX […]

New Year 2026
Returned to Canada for just over a week, I’m slowly adapting to the slower and quieter life here once again. Started meeting and catching up with some friends here. Seems like not a lot have happened in Canada while I was away for a month. My friend gifted me an air fryer and taught me […]

HK Trip Review
Returned to Canada early yesterday morning after a month-long trip to HK. I relied on my good old friend who dropped me off the airport a month ago to pick me up again in the cold early Saturday morning. Felt good to be back to my familiar quiet home and finding everything just the way […]

Back to Designing
Had meetups on Tue, Wed, Thur, and Sat this past week. Also had 3 family gatherings on top of that. I did enjoy seeing and catching up with friends, but the frequent meetups in the past few weeks had exhausted much of my energy. After my lunch meetup with a friend on Tuesday, I visited […]

A Time to Meet & Mourn
It was a busy week of meetups. Had a total of 7 meetups with friends in 4 days. The only 2 days my schedule was open I had dinner with my parents. I had to rely on my digital scheduler to keep track of everything. Being an introvert, the meetups with so many people in […]

A Time to Meet
Been back to HK for more than a week now. The city still felt as though it’s under a dark gloomy veil from the Wang Fuk fire tragedy. The introverted side of me utilized the city-wide mourning as an excuse not to socialize. But as the time of my visit quickly runs out, I started […]

A Time to Mourn
Arrived in Hong Kong for a month-long visit on Thursday night. I only started hearing about the tragic fire in Tai Po hours before my flight while I was packing my luggage in the middle of the night. Discussed about it with the friend who kindly drove me to the airport in the very early […]

First Anniversary
The past weekend marked the first anniversary of my return back to Canada. Thanks to the support of my family and friends, and the gracious providence of God, I feel now that I am fully settled back to this country for good. The big items including shelter, transportation, and finances are now more or less […]

Traveling Jays Fan
Still not completely over the devastating loss of Blue Jays last night. The game was very exciting and we were soooooo close to winning it all in a few opportunities! I only started watching the game for the past 10 games or so as my home team looked more and more like a worthy contender […]

The Marathon
The long anticipated marathon finally came on Sunday. I thought I was more prepared than 2 years ago when I ran the same race, but ended up taking about 30 minutes longer to finish this time around. The time limit was 6 hours and I finished the marathon in 5 hours and 58 minutes! 😂 […]
