Oil Painting Class
It was a hot and muggy day, thick dark clouds were hanging on the sky, but it just couldn’t quite squeeze out a drop of rain. Wished it would just let it pour and cool down the city. Couldn’t quite get myself to do any productive work in this weather, ended up wasting an afternoon […]

Archiving Websites
Was thinking about finally starting our first dEEsigners’ project yesterday. Looked into my web host and realized everything was all out of place. Started organizing my files and found a couple of flash websites I created over the past, but the video clips don’t seem to work anymore and I just don’t want to spend […]

Mentors
On day 17 of my 21-day “Living a Divinely Inspired Life” devotion plan, it’s about mentorship and learning from the wise – Elisha had Elijah, the disciples had Jesus, Timothy had Paul… I was lucky enough to come across many mentors in my art and research career. For work, I was also fortunate enough to […]

Phone Unlocked!
Thanks to a new tutorial, I was finally able to unlock and use my brother’s old iPhone 3GS! Spent the whole afternoon troubleshooting and migrating everything from my old iPhone 3G. The faster hardware and the newer iOS makes everything feel so much snappier! And the better camera will also allow me to take greater […]

Non-Residency
It has been 2.5+ years since I moved back to HK and I just determined on this very day to file for non-residency of Canada. Although this is the right thing to do, I’m feeling a weird sense of betrayal to a country that have nurtured me for about half my life. Farewell Canada, you’ll […]

Website Redesign
It has been close to 3 years since I last re-designed this website. Took me about a week to complete, had been sleeping considerably less each day, but glad to be able to roll this out before the start of a new week. It took me quite a while to dug up stuff to put […]

Design Competition
Submitted my design for the Towngas Street Art competition today. Thought about submitting it later to see if I might be able to come up with better ideas, but I kind of want to get this over with and get back to doing some real work. Regardless, the time spent on designing was fun, and […]

The Power of Introverts
Watched another great TED presentation today – The Power of Introverts. I still remember the time when I was interviewed for my first job after graduation, one of the questions asked was “… Do you consider yourself an extrovert or introvert?” I answered that I was a bit of both, I like to be absorbed […]

Robots and Workshop
Watched a presentation this morning about autonomous flying robots, it brought back fond memories of my undergraduate engineering days. For our final year design project (FYDP), my team and I created a robot cat to chase after a robot mouse. Although it didn’t quite work during the 2-day Symposium, the entire FYDP was a rewarding […]

Freelancing
Worked for a bit over 6 hours today, my hardest working day thus far this week. It’s been a long time since I last immersed myself in codes, can’t help but recall my days as a software developer, the major difference being now I don’t have a friend working by my side. Miss having friends […]
