Meetups

After isolating myself for one full week to focus on some calligraphy work, I had myself a very enjoyable weekend of meetups. It was kickstarted by a hotpot gathering at a paper artisan friend’s workshop on Friday night. I had the opportunity to meet many eco-conscious friends. On Saturday night, I met up with some […]

Funeral and Sickness

Went to the “funeral” of a dear elderly calligraphy classmate on Monday morning. We were classmates for 3 or 4 years before he stopped going to class prior to the pandemic due to deteriorating health and family matters. I still made an effort to visit him a couple of times during the pandemic and the […]

Back to Work

Returned to work on Wed. after a much needed LNY holiday to rest. Slept a lot during the holidays and managed to complete drawing all 100 postcard fai-chuns for the year of the 🐉. Mailed out most of them to my friends in Canada. Saw my fai-chuns displayed at a few small shops near the […]

Last 2 Weeks

The last two weeks in Toronto was a bit hectic as expected. I rushed to finish up prototyping and delivering them to friends for testing. There were also some last minute meetups to see friends before I go. On top of all that, I needed to allocate time to cleanup the basement I rented back […]

Gatherings…

It was another week of prototyping on weekdays and gatherings on weekend. Joined my friend’s fellowship Christmas party on Friday evening, around 100 b&s attended, felt a bit overwhelmed. Had a gathering with uni friends on Sat. afternoon. I started giving out some of the geometric STEAM kit prototypes to friends’ kids to test them […]

Wrote a few hundred characters to complete the “hundred surnames” (百家姓), this will be further developed into products and teaching materials later. The 3D printer I bought during Black Friday sale […]

Friends

A good friend entrusted me with his precious and super fun car to drive for a week while he was out of town for his business trip. Other than Monday which I forced myself to stay home to work on my business proposal, I seized the opportunity to go out everyday to meet up friends. […]

Time Flies

Seems like yesterday when I just arrived Toronto for this Q4 break. In fact, I’ve arrived here a full month already, that’s one third of this self-directed “co-op” term. So far I had completed a marathon and a personal calligraphy website project. Looked briefly into casual/part-time jobs, that made me more determined to start a […]

Super Moon, Regular Week

Haven’t taken a good look at the night sky for a long long time, but the super moon was too prominent to ignore, couldn’t resist to snap a photo from my balcony. Once in a blue moon, I used a skillset acquired last quarter to carve a seal for my calligraphy classmate. I could have […]
