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.

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 […]

CNY 2014
Chinese New Year 2014 has come and gone quickly and plainly. It was the hottest CNY since I came back to HK, so hot that I had to switch back to my summer blankets to sleep well at night. It also felt a little busy, it wasn’t until today (10th day of CNY) that I […]

HK Saxophone Ensemble
Was entrusted with the responsibility to take my little nephew to attend an orchestral performance because my brother and sister-in-law had prior engagements. It just so happens that my fellowship was cancelled tonight, and it’s been awhile since I took my nephew out on a little date, so I happily took him out for a […]
