PGBC Symposium 2009 (UC|UG)
It was my first time visiting the Hong Kong Science & Technology Park (HKSTP) this morning. The Professional Green Building Council Symposium 2009 on Urban Climate & Urban Greenery was unexpectedly interesting. I enjoy sitting in and listening to this type of conference that inspires me to think, but often times I just leave wondering […]

CUHK Campus
It was cloudy and wasn’t too hot today. There were about 5 hours in between 2 workshop safety sessions, so I took a leisurely stroll around the campus. The walk was quite refreshing, I really like the extensive greenery all over the campus.

Department Briefing
The programme I enrolled in had the first briefing session this morning. Our department head introduced the programme in a casual, friendly, and pleasantly humorous manner. The briefing actually uplifted my spirit and made me look forward to our first lecture on Saturday. There are only about 13 students joining the programme this year. We […]

Elim Fellowship
I’ve been feeling this stress/anxiety building up inside me throughout the week. There were a few nights I couldn’t fall sleep until 4 or 5am. This is not like the stress I feel in exam times, and I don’t recall any similar prior experience. It’s beyond my vocabulary to describe what I’m feeling… I felt […]

AGO
I’ve finally visited the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) today! I’ve been wanting to go for ages, but the visit was delayed for fear of the dreadfully long trip to downtown. I’m glad I overcame that fear today. It was a great experience, especially when I was accompanied by a friend who knows so much […]

CD Lava Lamp
While I was packing, I found an old lava lamp, some robotics stuff for my undergrad design project, and a bunch of useless CDs. I spent my Friday afternoon transforming all that into somewhat of a sculpture. There are 2 more projects I wish to complete before I leave Toronto – One is to transform […]

Origami
I’m guilty of chopping down trees for mindlessly printing paper for reading. It’s just too tiring to read long papers on the screen! To ease my guilt, I usually save up the printed pages and use the backside as scrap paper for doodling or draft work. In order to use up the piles of unused […]

Indoor Plant Installation
There are 2 tiny windows in my basement. I utilized the natural sunlight from one of them for my row of succulent plants, and to utilize the other one, I created an indoor plant installation using scrap resources I found while packing my stuff earlier. The stuff includes extra plant pots, my remaining potting soil, […]

Cardboard Plant Pot Holders
Inspired by Frank Gehry’s Wiggle Chair, I constructed a row of plant pot holders using recycled cardboard. Since the cool temperature in the basement does not provide the optimal condition for my succulent plants, I’ve also created a pipe using Pringle’s chips containers to pump warm air from my PC through the row of plants. […]

Models
I became somewhat of an avid modeler when I moved back to Toronto in Grade 12. High school was not too demanding here, so I could easily spend days, weeks, or even up to a month on a particular model. I was very much a perfectionist back then, and I could easily be irritated by […]
