Thanksgiving 2026
Decided to take a little break from the studio this Thanksgiving long weekend after an unusually social and thankful Friday. Me and a couple of old colleagues met up for an early lunch on Friday near the studio, the last time the three of us met up was years ago. After lunch, one of the […]

Day By Day
I have the habit of reading my previous post before composing a new weekly one. Last week’s post about Mid-Autumn felt like it had happened months ago already, and when I realized we’re entering the last quarter of 2026, I started questioning where all that time had slipped away so easily. Didn’t accomplish much at […]

Mid-Autumn 2026
Pulled another all-nighter at the studio on Wednesday. I was troubleshooting the 3D printers and updating my studio model for an IG post on Mid-Autumn festival, time just slipped away. It wasn’t too tiring to recover this time though, I think me picking up my regular running routine helped. On the Friday more than a […]

Met up with some bball friends on Wednesday evening, showed them my new studio before having dinner and watching a Jays […]

Transitioning…
Made considerable progress in shifting my focus away from my financial investments this past week. The trick I used to ease my addiction of constantly checking my investments during market hours was simply to leave the laptop at the studio. I can still check my investments and trade stocks via the tablet at home, but […]

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 […]
