Studio Cleanup
The big studio cleanup took a lot longer than I expected, glad to see it now neatly organized into the work, art, and DIY area. But it didn’t take long for it to get messed up again, it only took an afternoon with 3 curious kids who love to draw. I invited some friends and […]

CNY Holiday
The CNY has come and gone, I’m thankful for the opportunity to meetup with many friends, the gatherings were so packed that it was almost as though I was making up for the solitary time during my month-long sickness in Dec. & Jan. I was a bit reluctant to let the holiday pass, so I […]

Enjoyable Saturday
Met up with a few good old friends for lunch, it’s been a good few months since we last caught up. Had a couple of hours of enjoyable conversation before we went our separate ways. I went back to the studio, not to do work, but to continue my TV watching marathon which started last […]

Creative Monday
Before engaging full-time work after my recovery, I gave myself one last day-off to do some spontaneous creative works. I upcycled all the medical pill bottles from my illness and turned them into incubators for new life (baby succulents). I codenamed this quick spontaneous project “REBIRTH”. As the saying goes – “What doesn’t kill you […]

I hope to utilize the area more in 2015 and do more illustrations/cartoons on my spare time. I also spent a lot of […]

Sunday, Sabbath, Rest
For many years, regardless of busy academics or work, I’ve been dedicating my Sundays for rest and to spend time with my family. After being diagnosed with AOSD and having spent 12 days at the hospital, I know even better now the importance of rest. Today was a particularly restful Sunday. After a restful sleep, […]

Had dim sum with my parents and my sisters’ families afterwards. There was not much to do in the afternoon, I decided to go to the flower market for […]
