A New Start
The Chinese New Year has quickly come and gone. Today is just a few days short of my half-anniversary of returning to HK, nothing much had been accomplished or changed, I’m still my old unmotivated self with lots of bad habits intact. Subconsciously, I was hoping the change in environment would help me start life […]

Busy January
January was the busiest month since I returned to HK. On top of school and an extra AutoCAD course on the side, I took up my first freelance project. I don’t really mind being busy, for it keeps me productive, but whether it’s meaningful is another question. Hopefully, I’ll have more time in February to […]

Malcolm Wells
I like reading about the life and work of artists, especially those with a sense of humor. Malcolm Wells (a.k.a Mac Wells) is one of those rare few I truly admire. I love his style of writing – personal, honest, truthful, with plenty of humor/sarcasm and to-the-point cartoons/illustrations. It was only by luck that I […]

bodw & BYOB
I was carrying with me a fair bit of expectation entering the bodw show, but I left during the break right after the first presentation by Hermés. I believe there’s value in good design, but there’s something I disgust about luxurious goods, I just can’t stand the way people spending so much money buying them […]

Change!
Let me mark this day (20091123) as a day for change, a day to rid of an entrenched bad habit in my life. May God help me.

An Artist’s Lifestyle
Read an article on newspaper today about a renowned Chinese artist. Being merely an amateur “artist”, I don’t know who he is and I’ve never even seen his work, but I admire his lifestyle – “…一直不講究吃穿，不過奢華揮霍的生活，一生精力都在繪畫創作上…” That’s inline with how I want my home studio to be – no luxurious furnishings, just a little place […]

Nostalgia
Most of the time this week was spent reading a book on the critical history of modern architecture. Writings on architecture could be so difficult to understand sometimes, they really have a vocabulary of its own. Perhaps the most rewarding thing I got out of reading the book is a word I looked up – […]

Work & Play
It was a week of work & play. I’ve spent much of my days this week to do the pre-course reading for my upcoming course. But life would be too dry if it’s all work and no play, so I’ve spent 4 of the 5 weeknights playing badminton/basketball. “Work hard, play hard!”
