“LIFE IS ONLY ONE”
Been thinking a lot about the concept of time lately. I was woken up suddenly early this morning trying to calculate the age of my father, was he born on 1945? Or was that my mother? I just remember that my mom is 5 years younger than my dad. My parents are still healthy and […]

Valentine’s Day
Spent the Valentine’s Day in the studio listening to TED Talks while cutting cardboards. Cutting cardboards because I’m in the process of designing and fabricating my first piece of furniture. There was solitude in the simple and repetitive work, I imagined that Jesus might had this similar feeling when he was serving as a carpenter. […]

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’m Recovered!!
Checked in with the doctor for the last time today, he said I’m totally recovered and no further medication is needed! Thank God. Although costly, my sudden illness seems to me more like a blessing than a curse. Since the inevitable illness started in early Dec., I was given the opportunity to spend more time […]

A Little Reflection
Doctor said I can go home and continue the medication tomorrow!! =) A little reflection of the 10+ days of hospitalized experience: I believe this is God’s way of telling me to rest and reconnect with Him. When I was suffering from continuous high fever, feeling most vulnerable with the thought of death crossing my […]

Parents were out for a dinner banquet, I decided to go for a movie on my own. Watched a movie that had been on for quite some time because a few of my friends recommended it. It was based on a true story about a Reverend whose 4 yr old son had a vivid heaven […]

Funeral
Attended my first ever funeral service in HK, it was for my brother’s father-in-law. I only had the honour to meet the man a couple of times, and knowing that he had believed in Jesus while on the hospital bed, I wasn’t too saddened because there’s hope that I’ll meet him again someday at a […]

KANO
If not for my sister’s recommendation, I would probably never go into the theatre myself and watch this 3-hour movie. Thankful that I listened to her, I was inspired and started thinking about my aspirations again. Don’t you just love films that compels you to reflect upon your life and question your life’s purpose?! Am […]
