Running
It was already close to sunset when I started my run. Started late because I decided at the last minute to join my friends for lunch after church, enjoyed an afternoon of laughter and reminiscence of the Canadian days with some good old friends. Parents are currently on their cruise trip, so I didn’t need […]

Visiting ArchSD
Had the privilege to visit the Architectural Services Department (ArchSD) this afternoon to sit in on a talk about “Sustainable Design for Community Projects”. ArchSD had won numerous design awards on their projects, and I often imagined their offices to be clean, airy, and stylish like the typical architectural offices. It was nothing like that, […]

Creative Monday
Hardly did anything creative today other than stroll around furniture and design stores looking for inspirations for a design competition I plan to participate in. During my regular weekly oil painting class tonight, we started a new painting. One of my best friends initiated a conversation today about starting a little business together, this isn’t […]

Busy Weekend
I was just telling a friend on FB how I missed many hiking opportunities because I prefer to rest at home on weekends, but this weekend turned out to be one of my busiest in recent days. Woke up early yesterday for my friend’s wedding. Being a groomsman, it was an all day event. In […]

Creative Monday
Gave myself one last day to reminisce the earlier Hawaii vacation by going through the photos in the afternoon. I do kind of miss seeing the ubiquitous and boundless horizon of the Pacific Ocean and the spontaneous exploration of the Big Island with a couple of newly met friends. Started another 3-month weekly oil painting […]

Running
Went for my weekly dose of endorphin, jogged for a full 10k in 67 minutes. I experimented with a new psychological exercise while jogging today, for each of the laps, I tried to recall the memories when I was at the age equal to the number of laps I had finished. I jogged for a […]

Hawaii Trip – Day 7
Had an amazing day! Actually made a round trip of the Big Island. Stopped by a turquoise water beach, visited a botanical garden, and saw an active volcano crater. And to top it all off, we saw the most breathtaking night sky with countless stars and Milky Way! This trip has unexpectedly turned out to […]

Hawaii Trip – Day 6
Revisited a couple of places down South (Black Sands Beach & Southernmost Point) as I lost all the photos taken there on my previous visit. Glad I went back as I saw sea turtles this time and the sunset was not veiled by clouds. Also visited the Green Sands Beach for the first time with […]

Hawaii Trip – Day 5
Played the part of an amateur wedding photographer for my friend, find it rather difficult to capture people’s split-second expressions. I did try my best to capture as many smiles as I possibly could, and there were quite a few sweet genuine smiles I saw through the camera’s eyepiece. Happy to be able to witness […]

All Packed Up
Finally finished packing for my little Hawaiian vacation! Barely slept last night in order to pack as there wasn’t much time to do so today due to friends’ gatherings. I’m actually heading there for a friend’s wedding, but it would be silly of me to travel such long distance without staying for a bit. I […]
