Best Man
One inevitably feels honored when being asked to be the Best Man for his friend’s wedding, but I was a bit reluctant at first because I don’t really like attracting attention and have a natural tendency to shy away from the spotlight. But after everything about the wedding is completed tonight, I’m glad that I […]

Sickness (Part III)
My light fever has pretty much subsided, but my throat is still so sore that I couldn’t take in solid food. Haven’t stepped out of my apartment for 3 days, must be a record. It’s not just because of sickness that I stayed home, the sudden cold weather is discouraging me to even open the […]

Sickness (Part II)
My sickness continued. It’s very minor, just prolonged. Felt weak and vulnerable, an unexpectedly good feeling. I am reminded of one time when I got seriously sick when I was living by myself in Toronto. Death didn’t feel too far from me then, I was half-conscious and struggled immensely in my mind saying to myself […]

A New Start
The Chinese New Year has quickly come and gone. Today is just a few days short of my half-anniversary of returning to HK, nothing much had been accomplished or changed, I’m still my old unmotivated self with lots of bad habits intact. Subconsciously, I was hoping the change in environment would help me start life […]

RIP: Badminton Racquet
I killed my racquet playing badminton! I’ve only used the racquet for a few months, and I only realized how much I’m attached to it when it’s dead. It’s like that for a lot of things, we never realize their true values until they are gone, forever. Quitting badminton actually crossed my mind, but I […]

The dark streets, the industrial buildings, and the smell of machinery gave me a bit of a Déjà Vu this afternoon when I was aimlessly visiting the different open studios of Fotanian. I remember when I was young, my parents would occasionally bring me to their industrial flats because there was no one to look […]

Reminiscence
Reminiscence – recall to mind of a long-forgotten experience or fact. A wedding last night turned out to be somewhat of a reunion for me and my old UW housemates. We were leisurely playing “Big 2” when we suddenly started talking about the good old days when time still seemed plenty. We could easily spend […]

Guangdong, China
My Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing day this year were spent on a tour to Guangzhou with my family. It must have been at least a few years since I’ve stayed in China for that long, it was a rather stimulating experience. Despite being warned previously, I didn’t expect the air quality could be […]

Hong Kong
A place familiar yet distant; A place where I was born and a place where I stayed no longer than half my life. This is Hong Kong, a place where I’ve now unexpectedly adapted to. I had lunch with a friend in Central, and afterward I took a leisurely stroll around the maze of skyscrapers. […]

Week of Gatherings
I had the pleasure to meet up and farewell many of my friends this week. Friends including colleagues from my last 2 workplaces (GS1 Canada, SCI) and from school (UTSC, UW). I’ve even met up with friends from highschool (EHSS) and elementary school (Steelesview PS)! I’m thankful to be always surrounded by friends – friends […]
