Monday Artist
I want to be a Monday Artist, dedicating one day each week to learn, practice, be inspired, and simply enjoy Art! It’s like playing the 6th player on a basketball team, always kept in shape, warmed up, and ready to contribute to the team while the key players rest. It’s a bit of a luxury […]

6 Years Ago…
On this day 6 years ago I boarded a plane, left Canada and came back to HK. For the sake of family reunion and unknown career opportunities, I stepped out of my comfort zone and into an unfamiliar land. 6 years has quickly flown by, what have I accomplished? I’ve finished a MSc. degree studying […]

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. […]

New Year’s Eve
Couldn’t join my fellowship’s hotpot at night because I’m still on medication and my doctor advised me not to join gatherings with many people. It has been like a month since I last joined fellowship, sure hope I’ll be able to recover fully and join again soon. Tonight’s another one of those times when I […]

Christmas 2014

Instead, we had the rare occasion to meet up our uncle and aunt for dim sum. They had been battling with some serious illness in recent years, it was good to see […]

Thanksgiving Challenge – Day 5/5
Faith – As much as I wish to introduce my family and friends to the love, joy, peace, and hope of Christianity, I seldom talk about it myself. Admittedly not being too good with words, I hope that others would see God’s work in me through the things that I do. 1. Thankful that I […]

Creative Friday
Deliberately avoided doing the regular work at the studio today. Instead, I completed the “homework” for my rubber stamping class, watered the plants, and did a little reorganization of the stuff in the studio. Since moving my painting classes from Monday to Saturday, I no longer continued my Creative Mondays. Kinda miss it, so I’m […]
