Japan Trip
The short 5-day Japan trip came to a close last night as we arrived at HK Airport about 30 minutes before midnight. I kind of wished I could stay for one more day in Hiroshima because a ceremony to commemorate the devastating atomic bomb in 1945 will be held there the next day. I wished […]

Family Trip to Japan
I always seem to do my traveling in August. I still vividly remember the time spent in Hawaii last August to attend my friend’s wedding, it unexpectedly turned out to be one of the best vacation ever. And for this August, 6 family members (including me) decided to join a short tour to Japan. The […]

Tax & Creative Monday
As the saying goes, rain and tax are two things you just can’t avoid in life. Arrived at the studio slightly early this morning to file my annual tax, my very first time in HK. Had been procrastinating for weeks, felt relieved now that I finally got it over with. I’m now ready for a […]

7.1 Rally
Went with my sister and brother-in-law to join the annual 7.1 Rally. I joined the rally for my first time 2 years ago, didn’t go last year, and this year it felt like I couldn’t afford to miss it. The rally this year is definitely more crowded and tiring. Wouldn’t it be nice to chill […]

An Unofficial Vote
I used to tell my friends that I know I’m old when I ever start reading the political news, having said that, taking a stance and casting an unofficial vote tonight can be regarded as another way of admitting I’m old. The vote is unofficial because the public poll is not organized by the government […]

Mai Po Night Tour
Joined the night tour at Mai Po this evening. It was a good trip away from the city, the last time I saw such a gorgeous sunset was in Hawaii last summer. I know, I really should get out of this city more often.

Hail Storm
There was a crazy hail storm last night. According to the news, it was the 3rd time in the last 20+ years that it hailed in March in HK. It was so intense that the roof in the nearby mall broke and its interior got totally flooded. Images of the flooded mall looked quite apocalyptic, […]

Creative Friday
Was occupied by work for the last couple of Fridays and couldn’t allocate an uninterrupted period of time to do creative work. It was good to be able to put aside my computer and indulge in a little DIY activity today. Had been thinking over the past, and thinking more frequently recently, would it be […]

Lunch with Old Friend
Met up with a primary school classmate who recently moved back to HK to further his architectural career. Had a long and wonderful chat with him in wildly unrelated topics including environmental issues, government policies, architecture, design, painting, photography, career, family, friends,… I’m really thankful to have such a friend whom I can enjoy an […]
