Thanksgiving Weekend
It was the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend the last few days. On Saturday evening, the meetup with a couple of my high school friends’ family was finally successfully organized since my return to the country in November last year. It had been nearly a year in making, a couple or more attempts for us to […]

A New Rhythm
Started getting more and more anxious as the marathon race day approaches. In response, I got more serious with my training this past week. One big change I made was forcing myself to wake up early to do the running practices in the morning instead of at night. Set my alarm to 5am yesterday and […]

End of Summer
I started playing basketball again after moving back to Canada. It’s all thanks to a friend (ex-coworker) who introduced me to his special group of basketball friends who have met each other from playing in the same court for over 10 or even 20 years. Yesterday was the last time a few of us will […]

Summer Meetups
This past week had been considerably productive. I kept myself busy reading and learning about investing, it’s a topic I’ve been reluctant to touch until I realized it’s something unavoidable. Will give myself one more week to learn before getting my hands wet on making my first self-conducted investment. Besides reading, I managed to discipline […]

3rd Marathon
First mission accomplished for the Q4 break away from the studio! I was seriously lacking practice for the marathon due to the past extremely hot and wet summer that prohibited many of my planned training. I was also unprepared. I entered the race with only 1 gel pack to replenish my energy during the long […]

Procrastinating… 😖
There’s only a bit over a week left before my scheduled Q4 break. Had been working long hours each day this past week. Finally completed a 3D printing commission and had the prints delivered and paid for. Thankful for this first ever 3D modeling and printing opportunity, it boosted my confidence in persevering in this […]

Back to Normal
Have had a considerably productive week at the studio. Finished setting up a new 3D printer and had been testing it nonstop. Took the opportunity to assess my inventory of 3DP filaments and printed out many DEXTER minifigs – my studio’s mascot. Also finished prototyping some scout minifigs and shown them to a potential client. […]

Running Again
Still feeling lost and a lack of purpose and motivation to work. Don’t have any immediate projects and deadlines to meet, and I’m not too eager to initiate any new projects either. What’s the point of making myself busy for the sake of killing time? Not really in the mood for entertainment either. I can’t […]

What To Do?
Spent a couple of days this past week to finish up a 3D-printed robot arm toy for my good friend’s dad. It can now be controlled by my iPad via Bluetooth, pretty cool! My uncle’s plan to lure me back into doing more engineering work seemed to have worked and I’m now a bit hooked […]

Post-Marathon Blues?
After a very happy weekend highlighted by a marathon finish, I seemed to be experiencing a mild depression this past week. After resting the entire Monday following the marathon, I started clearing up some errands I had pushed aside. Also slowly picking up work at the studio again. Tested a few materials with the laser […]
