RTHK Programmes
Continued my indulgence in the RTHK treasure trove… Watched the entire series of the new <<香港故事>>, it was about mentorship of a variety of trades, brings back memories of all the teachers/mentors who had taught me in the past. I’m thankful to have so many people willing to teach and guide me in the many […]

<<越扭越有計>>
The kids were out visiting their grandparents the whole day, and I was alone in the house with nothing to do. It was a bit too hot to go outside, and I thought about doing some work for my freelancing, but ended up persuading myself to wait for the kids to move back to their […]

Hottest Day?!
Just when I thought the hottest days were behind us, the local temperature reached as high as 35 degrees today, the highest thus far for the summer! I sure hope the heat won’t last too long before the daily temperature starts its gradual decline. I think one of my threestrip corydoras is dying. It may […]

Extremely Hot Week
Hot weather warning had been issued every single day this week! Didn’t seem to be sleeping too well for the last few nights even though I turned on A/C, and I felt as though I was suffering from a persistent light fever during the day. Checked the climate data of HK, and there’s a good […]

Home Sweet Home
Arrived HK yesterday when most people were still asleep. Immediately noticed the hot and humid air when exiting the airport, but thankful that it wasn’t raining. The long haul flight was exhausting. I managed to reach home by myself on bus. Arrived home without my parents noticing. I took a shower, relief was immediately sensed. […]

CN Tower
Did what most tourists would do and gone up CN Tower this afternoon, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing the city from high above. Stopped by St. George on my way back home to make a quick visit to the building where I used to work for my last co-op term, it […]

Past Family House
Took a stroll around the neighborhood where I lived for 4 of my primary school years. Walked around my primary school and the adjacent park. Then I took a seat under a tree shade and sketched my past family house just across the road. There is a funny feeling visiting long forgotten places and seeing […]

Dinner with Friends
Had been going out for dinner with friends almost every single night this week. Met up with a couple of primary school classmates tonight. I know it’s very rare that we still keep in touch after so many years, so I cherish every moment that we had a chance to meet up. Casual and happy […]

Crazy Weather
The temperature was close to 40 degrees (with humidity accounted) in the afternoon. Had to stay indoor where air-conditioning is provided, so I went to the mall to shop for a wedding gift for my friend in HK. Luckily, I found something that’s not “Made in China”! The Ice Cap tasted particularly good in the […]

Shopping
Went shopping for appropriate shoes to attend my friend’s upcoming wedding. There were 2 things that I noticed – the malls in Canada are empty of people (compared to HK) and everything is made in China! Why can’t they just let me buy the stuff in HK, then it won’t need to travel so long […]
