Tiring Week
Missed my weekly journal entry last week because I was super exhausted after a fai-chun writing event in Tai Po last Sunday. Apparently, that was just a prelude to a crazy week filled with meetups and bad news. It started from Monday early afternoon when I had a meet up with a couple of friends […]

Back to Work
Still haven’t fully unpacked my luggage from the 3-month co-op term. And I caught a flu not long after returning. With a bit of reluctance, I made my way back to the studio on Monday as planned prior to the trip. Almost every thing at the studio seemed exactly the same as when I left […]

Last 2 Weeks
The last two weeks in Toronto was a bit hectic as expected. I rushed to finish up prototyping and delivering them to friends for testing. There were also some last minute meetups to see friends before I go. On top of all that, I needed to allocate time to cleanup the basement I rented back […]

Gatherings…
It was another week of prototyping on weekdays and gatherings on weekend. Joined my friend’s fellowship Christmas party on Friday evening, around 100 b&s attended, felt a bit overwhelmed. Had a gathering with uni friends on Sat. afternoon. I started giving out some of the geometric STEAM kit prototypes to friends’ kids to test them […]

Prototyping…
Didn’t have much social meetups on weekdays this past week. I decided to finish up the Chinese calligraphy homework I brought over to do. Wrote a few hundred characters to complete the “hundred surnames” (百家姓), this will be further developed into products and teaching materials later. The 3D printer I bought during Black Friday sale […]

One Month Left
Been back to Canada for 2 months, now left with just 1 month before returning to HK. In the past week or so, I had been experimenting with a few materials (bamboo skewers, straws, etc.) to prototype some products I had been dreaming up for a long time. Found the perfect sustainable material for my […]

Friends
A good friend entrusted me with his precious and super fun car to drive for a week while he was out of town for his business trip. Other than Monday which I forced myself to stay home to work on my business proposal, I seized the opportunity to go out everyday to meet up friends. […]

Business Plan… WIP
Set off the week being determined to write up a business plan. Other than heading out for lunch on Monday, I stayed in the rented basement until a friend tagged me to play table tennis on Friday evening. Read an example business plan and downloaded a template to help me write one for the very […]

Time Flies
Seems like yesterday when I just arrived Toronto for this Q4 break. In fact, I’ve arrived here a full month already, that’s one third of this self-directed “co-op” term. So far I had completed a marathon and a personal calligraphy website project. Looked briefly into casual/part-time jobs, that made me more determined to start a […]

Fall Colors
Nearly a third of my Q4 break had passed already. So far I had completed a full marathon and a personal project. Just started looking into work and the possibility of setting up a “business” here. Ventured downtown to see an art fair on Friday, got a healthy dose of artistic inspiration out of it. […]
