April in HK
My month back to HK just flew by as I anticipated. Before I even got the chance to acclimatize to the warming temperatures, dirty air, and noisy environment, I already flew back to TO and settled back in my comfy humble condo for about a week! The main purpose for my trip to HK was […]

Blessed 4.5 Month Trip
Writing this blog post at the airport waiting for my very early morning flight to HK in a few hours. It’s just a four week trip mainly to see my parents. I’m not moving back to HK. Looking back at this 4.5 month trip back to Canada, I feel grateful. Grateful that a friend helped […]

Count Down Begins
Thanks to a property agent friend, I finally settled on a short term rental in Canada. Immediately booked my one-way flight back to TO in mid-November. Now the countdown begins with roughly 20 days left to finish up all studio projects and properly farewell all my friends before I leave the city. Met my woodworking […]

44th Birthday
Took a day off on Mon to give myself the gift of time to do whatever I want for my 44th bday. I finally took the time to organize and display my growing series of critically endangered animal caricature paintings in my private living-room gallery. I’m not particularly fond of celebrating bdays, but I’m courteous […]

“Single“ Again!
Though more or less expected, I was especially ecstatic yesterday morning when a single line on my rapid test reassured my recovery from COVID! I immediately told my fellowship caring group to let me join the scheduled dinner meetup! Stayed home the entire week without stepping outside. Took the opportunity to put in some finishing […]

Sickness
I finally tested positive for COVID today since the pandemic broke out in late 2019. Symptoms are mild – occasional coughs and chills. The symptoms actually started emerging after I did my evening run last Wed. Didn’t sleep very well that night and felt especially sore the next morning. I thought it was just caused […]

100 Blessings (百福)
CNY will be very early this year. With the scarce time, I was debating whether to do the 100 Blessings (百福} art project again this year. I had many positive feedbacks from friends receiving the hand drawn postcard fai-chuns last year, some even framed it like precious artworks. And when I was visiting friends in […]

Another Packed Week
The past week was a packed but not as tiring week. Mon – a fellowship brother visited the studio after work because he needed some graphic design assistance for his upcoming wedding in Feb. The discussion was brief, but we had dinner together nearby and had a long chat on church, fellowship, and many personal […]
