Sister and Nieces in Town
My sister and 2 nieces from Toronto had been back for about a week, I had been spending more time with them and less time doing work (always thankful for a flexible work schedule). But it’s December already, and I’m starting to procrastinate on the many things I wish to finish before the end of 2016! […]

Cycling
Asked my friend to tag me along to do some cycling with his friends, it’s something I haven’t done for ages! One of my purpose to join my friend’s cycling activity was to explore the possibility of organising a cycling outing in my fellowship. Now that I’ve done so, I think it will be really […]

Highschool Friends Meetup
One of my HK highschool friend is getting married in early Dec., so he organised a small meet up to pass on his wedding invitations. Though I unfortunately couldn’t attend the wedding banquet, I made an effort to join the little reunion of high school friends because I haven’t seen most of them for years, […]

JF Hike
The annoying hot summer weather in HK seems to be finally fading, and the typhoon and associated rain did not hit as forecasted, perfect weather for our fellowship to kickoff the first hike of the year! It’s really refreshing to be immersed in nature and away from the urban concrete jungle once in a while. HK […]

Umbrella Movement 2nd Anniversary
I remember vividly this night 2 years ago when I went out to witness one of the biggest civil movements in HK, my phone was flooded with messages from family and friends telling me to stay safe… Seeing the recent LegCo election result, I think the eventual Umbrella Movement was not futile, at least it […]

Solemn Sunday
Reciting the Lord’s Prayer “… Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” at Sunday service today seemed particularly meaningful. Today is Election Day for HK’s Legislative Council, and I really do pray and hope that God would pour His grace and mercy upon our city and its people. […]

Typhoon Nida
Typhoon signal no.8 was hoisted at 8:40 last night as Nida hit near HK coast. The signal lasted for most of the morning today and much of the HK workforce got a morning off. I went back to the studio in the early afternoon, walking pass many fallen branches and leaves along the way. Many shops and restaurants were […]

Holiday
Had been a little busy for a week or so as I tried to complete the website for my studio before Q2 ended, just barely made it to have it launched yesterday! Decided to take a day off to rest and not to join the annual protest this afternoon. Spent some solitude time in the […]

Claude Monet Exhibition
Finally decided to see the Claude Monet exhibition this afternoon. It’s my first time seeing an exhibition of an impressionist artist, not to mention one of the pioneers of the field. I didn’t seem to be too impressed with the impressionist paintings, but I was really captivated by the life of the artist. According to […]

A Week of Fiery News
The major local news headline this week was about an industrial building not far from my studio that caught fire. Battling the fire was extremely difficult because the building was used as a mini storage facility that seemed to the firefighters like a maze cluttered with uncountable boxes of unknown personal objects. The fire burned […]
