Goodbye 2020
New Year came on Friday, but the atmosphere during the long weekend was the least festive I’ve ever experienced. The world seems more glad to see 2020 pass than hopeful to welcome 2021. I spent the long weekend wrapping up a couple of projects in the studio. Reviewing 2020, there wasn’t much accomplishments to speak […]

Recovered (~80%)
My legs were shaking when I was playing badminton yesterday, don’t remember feeling this way ever before. I’m recovering from a bad flu, was hoping that a little exercise would help the healing. I’m actually feeling much better this past week. Seeing my slow progress in recovering, I bought some over-the-counter flu pills in the […]

Half Marathon Preparation
Didn’t realize before how small HK is… A half-marathon (21K) already covers part of New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island! Feeling anxious about my run on Sunday… p.s. Still can’t get my head around the CE address yesterday… While silly Mr. 689 has his grand but awfully vague mainland-centric agenda, I have my own […]

Running
Almost fully recovered from my cold/flu, managed to run 12K at a slow pace in this morning’s running practice. Running seems more joyful when I run slowly at my own pace.

Health
Took the time to read my body check report, everything looks ok, thankful. Recently caught a cold/flu, not too serious, but my family seemed quite worried and urged me many times to take cold/flu pills. I rejected as I prefer to let my body’s immune system to take its natural course of healing. The fact […]

Running
Another upset, ran only 4k this morning. I couldn’t blame it on the scorching sun this time as it was occasionally cloudy with comfortable breezes. The excuse of the day was that I was a little worried my body hadn’t regenerated all the blood cells lost from the biennial body check yesterday. Hopefully I’ll be […]

Creative Monday
Wasn’t feeling too well in the morning, partly because of the beer the night before. I noticed that I’m less tolerant of alcohol after recovering from AOSD, should’ve passed the 2nd round of beer, but how often do you get to meet and chat with a good old friend?! Somewhat dragged myself to the studio […]

First Run
Did my first run this year, covered about 5 km in 40 minutes. Broke some sweat in the sunny (but not too hot) afternoon, it’s my stupid attempt to respond to the Sunday sermon of being the salt and light of this world! =) This is actually my first run since I recovered from the […]
