One Month
It has been just over a month since I returned to TO. So far I had settled in a temporary condo rental and quickly had a mini design studio set up, bought a very old car from a childhood friend, seen over 30 condo units and just nearly bought one last week! Made considerable progress […]

Got My Ride
One of my biggest accomplishments this past week was getting many issues related to my borrowed car resolved. Got the garage remote from my landlord on Monday morning. Got the car’s safety inspection done on Thursday. And it was only after completing the safety inspection and talking to the friend who lent me the car […]

Two Weeks
Just a bit over two weeks had passed since I returned to TO. With the help of many friends here, I had quickly settled in. I had quickly set up a mini studio in the condo after one week and had started working on some 3DP projects remotely in the second week. All this was […]

It’s DONE!!
Last week in HK was super hectic. Had a friend visiting the studio on Monday to pick up some old boxes for reuse. That was followed by a small farewell gathering of eco-conscious friends. My brother’s friend who is visiting town stopped by my studio for a visit on Tuesday afternoon, had a quick coffee […]

Except for Saturday, I had been meeting and farewelling family and friends every single day, sometimes even more than one meetups in one day! And many things at work and at home are still unfinished.

Now the countdown begins with roughly 20 days left to finish up all studio projects and properly farewell all my friends before I leave the city. Met my woodworking […]

Super Busy Week
Had a crazy busy week. Needed to go to my parents’ place for dinner on Monday to makeup for the missed usual one the night before due to my alcohol overdose episode. Had to meet up my plastic recycling friend in Kwai Chung on Wednesday to pass them my filament making machine and give them […]

More Farewells
Hastily finished up an experimental project with 3D printing movable type characters. Successfully printed the functional “stamps” as small as 28pt using a smaller 0.2 nozzle. Happily met up my studio neighbor, an old printing company that still has a huge archive of antique movable type characters, to show them the prototypes and also to […]

Farewells Have Begun
Though I still don’t know the exact date for my return to Canada, I have started organizing farewell meetups with friends. Some friends are out of town and will return in coming weeks. Good thing I had to postpone my trip again due to my sister’s upcoming trip later this week. With a couple of […]
