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, […]

Father’s Birthday
It so happens that my father’s lunar birthday is on Silent Night this year. We had hot pot at my brother’s place and took the precious opportunity to take a family photo. The last time our family of 14 had a family photo together was 2 years ago!

When I was suffering from continuous high fever, feeling most vulnerable with the thought of death crossing my […]

“Bachelor Party”
It’s my good friend’s Big Day tomorrow. Rather than throwing a crazy bachelor party for the groom, we decided to simply have a couple of drinks. One of the friends came back from Toronto and another just arrived town earlier in the morning from Tokyo. It was a happy reunion of friends.

Thanksgiving Challenge – Day 5/5
Faith – As much as I wish to introduce my family and friends to the love, joy, peace, and hope of Christianity, I seldom talk about it myself. Admittedly not being too good with words, I hope that others would see God’s work in me through the things that I do. 1. Thankful that I […]

DIY Lantern
My sister and brother-in-law couldn’t join our regular family dim sum after church today, I decided to skip as well. Instead of the regular Sunday routine, I decided to spend the day in the quiet studio. Insisted not to work on a Sunday, I let creativity take control and designed a DIY lantern in preparation […]
