Soccer Balls
Balancing out the feminine stuffed toys, I also have a collection of balls (mainly soccer balls). I loved playing soccer ever since I was little, it’s the sport I enjoyed playing the most. I still remember the times when I couldn’t stand the studying in my undergraduate years, I would go to the soccer field […]

Stuffed Toys
As a 30 year-old guy, I ashamedly have a small collection of stuffed toys I can’t throw away. Snoopy and the Cat (I don’t know his/her name) next to him traveled all the way from HK and made it in time to my undergraduate graduation. Other than those two, I actually bought a lot of […]

Following postcards, key chains may be the second most popular souvenir option. And similar to bookmarks, I have much more key chains than needed. Most of them are souvenirs from friends, some of them are from my own regrettably limited traveling. Of course there are also key chains that are not traveling-related but still have […]

I’ve opened a time-capsule today! There’s this huge cylindrical tin-can I use to put away all the letters I received. I opened it up and after sorting through the phone and bank statements, I’m left with a load of old letters written to me by my HK highschool friends. I’ve spent the whole day sorting […]

Postcards
Continuing with my archival project(s), today I’ve scanned and uploaded all the postcards I’ve received over the years. I’ve re-read every single one of them during the process, such delightful memories to cherish… I’m excited every time I receive a postcard. The photos on them are always so captivating, fueling your desire to experience the […]

The Message
I’ve finished reading The Message!! Received as a gift on my 30th birthday, The Message is an interesting translation of the New Testament. Using modern English, the book makes God’s Words more accessible to people of this age. Perhaps this is God’s way of narrating His never changing message in an ever changing world…
