Anniversary
Today marks my 1-year anniversary of returning to HK, it was also this same day in 1996 that I left this place to study in Toronto. Much had been changed over these 13 years – my family of 6 had grown to 14, my parents had been officially designated as elders, and we had moved […]

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 […]

沒有牆的世界
Going through a bit of an emotional low lately, perhaps due to the many arguments I had with my parents. Found my consolation from a TV series in the RTHK archive. It’s a series of stories about people with disabilities (e.g. deaf, mute, blind,…) who managed to cope with and even strive in their everyday […]

The World without Us
An interesting and imaginative narrative on what the world would be like if we as a specie suddenly vanishes. The planet’s ecosystem would probably be better off without us Homo Sapiens! I’m reminded of people toiling their lives trying to leave behind a lasting legacy, is that worthwhile? Perhaps not according to the book, for […]

Architecture without Architects
In my mind, architects always hold this mysterious prestige status, attractive yet unattainable. Perhaps I was drawn to the field by the creative and inspirational masterpieces of world-renowned celebrity architects. It seems to be a field never lacking dreams and aspirations. Yet, my perception of “architects” seems to have shifted slightly after looking at the […]

I’m Healthy Again!!
After a long week of sore throat and “dizziness”, it feels good to be healthy again! Suddenly, food tastes better, mind is clearer, and even badminton games seem more enjoyable! Timing is just right, I need to gear up to work on my research paper and help with my friend’s wedding preparations…

Sickness (Part III)
My light fever has pretty much subsided, but my throat is still so sore that I couldn’t take in solid food. Haven’t stepped out of my apartment for 3 days, must be a record. It’s not just because of sickness that I stayed home, the sudden cold weather is discouraging me to even open the […]

Sickness (Part II)
My sickness continued. It’s very minor, just prolonged. Felt weak and vulnerable, an unexpectedly good feeling. I am reminded of one time when I got seriously sick when I was living by myself in Toronto. Death didn’t feel too far from me then, I was half-conscious and struggled immensely in my mind saying to myself […]

Sickness
Woke up this morning with a minor headache and sore throat. Nothing serious, just a minor fever. I’m actually thankful, for this is the first time I got sick since returning to HK, not a simple feat considering my previous sickness-prone annual visits.

Marathon
Finally submitted my assignment last night, I’ve spent much of my time this week working on it. Relief! I chose one of the buildings for the upcoming Shanghai World Expo 2010 as the case study, so the end of the assignment is actually a new beginning for my research of the much anticipated Expo. While […]
