There were times when I would romanticize myself living in a remote small town by the sea with my other half, leading a tranquil and simple life. But is this sustainable? Re-evaluating my dream life now, I want to live in a relaxed, convivial, and sustainable neighborhood where my friends are at walkable distances. With […]

The cold and gloomy weather in the last couple of days was particularly suited to do some reading in my cozy studio. Felt like I’m finally able to switch to full research mode for my dissertation. I desperately need the concentration if I were to complete it by the end of March as planned. Had […]

Cardboard Bricks
Had a lot of gatherings with family and friends in this CNY holiday, so I didn’t have as much time to work on my DIY projects as I hoped. Nevertheless, I managed to craft some brick-sized (also half-sized) cardboard boxes, this is what I’ll do with all future cardboard collected from excess packaging!

The Borrower Arrietty
Saw the movie <<The Borrower Arrietty>> with my sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and his friend today. It’s been ages since I saw a movie by Hayao Miyazaki in the theatre, it was one of the most awesome movies I’ve seen in the last few years! Love the way the environmental message was subtlly delivered from […]

Soccer
First time playing 5-man soccer on a rooftop, and first time using my new cleats. Even more interesting was the fact that we were playing outdoor in one of the coldest nights! Actually, it wasn’t so bad once we were warmed up. I’m thankful for a bunch of crazy friends who would play soccer in […]

Fellowship Retreat
Got back from a 2-day retreat with my fellowship. The lack of sleep got me daydreaming most of the time in the camp. Quite tired this morning, realized how badly I missed my bed at home! Despite the tiredness, I’m thankful for the opportunity to get to know b/s more through their sharings and prayers.

Thanksgiving
Had a bit too many gatherings last week. Not particularly fond of going out into the crowd, but I do cherish the opportunities to catch up with friends I don’t often see during the year. Life is finally back to normal, and I can once again sit quietly in my studio to do some planning […]

Christmas 2011
Sent out a load of eCards today, hope it won’t be regarded as spam! I just hope to tell my family and friends that there’s a special place in my heart reserved for them. I’m forever thankful that God had me cross paths with so many wonderful people in life.

Chung Yeung Festival
Parents left home early for Mainland to pay respect to ancestors. I also congested my way through crowds who were heading to the cemetery, but I was just going for a friendly game of soccer nearby. It was rather awkward playing under the strong smell of burning incense, but I had a great time playing […]

Catholic Wedding
Attended my friend’s wedding ceremony this afternoon, my first time experiencing the catholic ceremony rituals. It was also my first time attending a wedding ceremony in a church in HK, I had many flashbacks of the many weddings I’ve been to in my Toronto church…
