Perseverance or Stubbornness?
Poured hours into solving the Rubik’s Cube this past weekend, it’s only by luck that I successfully accomplished the mission this morning. It’s not intelligence but rather perseverance that got me through the frustrating task. Or should I call it stubbornness? I’ve been known to be the most “stiff-necked” member of my family! RIP for […]

Feels like Crap…
Had another argument with my parents during dinner. All I did was to decline going to an upcoming monthly/quarterly dinner gathering during which shark fins soup are usually served. It’s not just for the benefit of the endangered animal, I don’t like going to extravagant banquets in general. I have trouble training myself to appreciate […]

Rainy Days
Starring through my studio window, the far mountaintops are barely visible behind layers of slanted rain. This familiar scenery always brings me back to a particular episode when I was in grade 1 or 2 studying at a boarding school in HK. I remember myself sitting in a classroom with my desk close to the […]

Bad Day
The thunderstorm outside seems to match perfectly how I’m feeling now – crap! Had a big argument with my mother during dinner, actually, it’s more like just me yelling. I have good reasons to be angry, but I should have delivered my arguments more calmly. I kind of expected something like this would happen before […]

Toy Story 3
My sister and brother-in-law decided to take my niece and nephew (from my brother) to watch Toy Story 3 today, and I chose to tag along. I went into the theatre without reading any reviews or watching the trailer beforehand. I don’t remember watching the second episode either. The movie was surprisingly good, I think […]

World Cup 2010
The World Cup 2010 in South Africa has finally ended with Spain winning this most prestigious soccer award. I’m not really much of a soccer fan, but the atmosphere in HK is definitively much more vibrant and infectious compared to Toronto. Although I don’t play much anymore, soccer is still my favorite sport. Started playing […]

Tai Mo Shan
Out of spontaneity, my brother-in-law decided to drive us up Tai Mo Shan after our usual family Sunday dim sum. The limitless blue sky, the fluffy white clouds, and the layers of lush green mountain-tops is a rare treat of paradise in the hustle and bustle of HK. Want to go there again sometime to […]

Holiday
Today is a holiday for both of the countries that had my residence time split almost equally. It was particularly hot today with extreme UV alert, so I didn’t dare to go outdoors but rather spent much of my time at home reading “The Message”. I’ve also spent some time creating my first colored artwork […]

Materialism
It wasn’t difficult to notice the heightened materialism after moving back to HK, but I was surprised that it ranked no.2 in the world in terms of carbon emission due to imported consumptions (article here)! I see local ads encouraging people to lead a low carbon lifestyle by switching to CFL bulbs, taking shorter showers, […]

30+1
Turned a new page in life at the age of 30 when I decided to move back to the place of my birth. Now at 31, I wish to gain a more clear picture of my career path and take my very first step towards it.
