Home Studio

It has been about a month since the site visit, but I still haven’t heard back from the owner of the studio space I hoped to rent. I started designing and renovating the small den in my condo. It will eventually be transformed into a space for work, storage, and a second bedroom for myself […]

April in HK

My month back to HK just flew by as I anticipated. Before I even got the chance to acclimatize to the warming temperatures, dirty air, and noisy environment, I already flew back to TO and settled back in my comfy humble condo for about a week! The main purpose for my trip to HK was […]

Blessed 4.5 Month Trip

Writing this blog post at the airport waiting for my very early morning flight to HK in a few hours. It’s just a four week trip mainly to see my parents. I’m not moving back to HK. Looking back at this 4.5 month trip back to Canada, I feel grateful. Grateful that a friend helped […]

New Home & (Lunar) New Year

Took me about a week to move in to my new place after its closing. It could have been sooner, but I didn’t want to move in before installing internet at the new place. Though I have restrained myself from buying many things during the 2.5 months of living in the short-term rental, it still […]

2 Months

Passed the 2 months mark of my return to Canada. Having a little time to spare before the closing day of my permanent residence, I finally picked up my calligraphy hobby again. Rushed to write about 20 fai-chuns and had them sent off to my family in HK immediately. Hopefully they’ll receive them before LNY. […]

Returned to TO for one and a half month now. Things are more or less settled now that I had finally found a permanent residence and made the deposit just before the start of the holidays. We had been to showings of about 40 condo units, it was a relief to finally found one with […]

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 […]

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 […]

5 Days Left!

A week had gone by swiftly and exhaustively and I’m now left with less than 5 days in the city.! 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. […]

Count Down Begins

Thanks to a property agent friend, I finally settled on a short term rental in Canada. Immediately booked my one-way flight back to TO in mid-November. 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 […]
