Time
Time, a concept that warrants timeless debates/discussions/contemplations. I’m still not quite completely recovered from my emotional low, the constant depressing news (both locally and globally) seems to have lengthened the recovery process. Rather than pushing myself to recover from the blues with mindless and endless work, I decided to take it slow and use all […]

Feeling Low
Planned to do a big cleanup of my studio last week, got started but didn’t go too far. Feeling a little sluggish and lack of motivation lately, not entirely sure why. On the local news today was another youngster committing suicide, ramping up to a bit short of 20 cases since the start of the […]

1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]

Monday Artist
It was a day of fully-packed artistic events. I first went to a chinese painting exhibition by artist 林勇遜 in the early afternoon, then quickly saw the MUJI compact life exhibition @PMQ while I was in the Central area. Ended the day with my weekly evening watercolor and oil painting classes, completed 2 pieces of […]

Running
Planned to do a 7k practice run this morning, but could only run 4k, felt defeated. I think there were 2 possible reasons for the upset, one was that I got ambitious and used up a lot of the strength at the beginning of the run, and second was the scorching sun. It was 30 […]

Taipei Trip
The 5-day Taipei trip with my fellowship friends had ended on Saturday. Thankful for the 5 days of perfect weather, amazing scenery, and an unforgettable and breathtaking sunset! I couldn’t resist to use the sunset photo for my phone’s wallpaper. =) Feeling slightly recharged after the trip, should now have enough energy to keep me […]

Iron Ring
Recently made a cable-stayed bridge model in the studio, just for fun really, and I figured there’s probably no better place to put my iron ring than inside a bridge (model) I’ve designed and built! It feels a little strange not having the ring on my pinkie after all these years, feels like leaving behind […]

Feeling Low
Feeling a little low lately. I think it all started when one of my best friends declared last Friday that he’ll be moving back to Canada with his wife and near 1 year old baby. He said he didn’t want his kid to grow up in a society that’s full of lies. I wouldn’t blame […]

6 Years Ago…
On this day 6 years ago I boarded a plane, left Canada and came back to HK. For the sake of family reunion and unknown career opportunities, I stepped out of my comfort zone and into an unfamiliar land. 6 years has quickly flown by, what have I accomplished? I’ve finished a MSc. degree studying […]

Creative Monday
Finally got my hands on the bible of cartooning – “The Complete Calvin & Hobbes”! It took the public library 2 weeks to transport the book to the branch nearest me, I think there’s much room for improvement in our public services. I indulged myself with the absolutely addictive book, and did a little cartooning […]
