Silent Night
It’s becoming my annual tradition to stay home and design a Christmas card on Silent Nights. It’s one of the rare times each year that I would dig out my watercolors and Indian Ink and re-live the time when I would work late nights to finish my cartooning assignments, those were some good times…

<<3 Idiots>>
Was out for lunch and suddenly remembered about the movie <<3 Idiots>> that was highly recommended by my sister and brother-in-law. The 3-hour movie did not fall short of the expectation, it brought back some wonderful memories of the undergrad engineering days. I was so idealistic and full of passion and hope back in those […]

A Case of the Mondays
My legs are still sore from jogging 4k last night, still not quite sure if I can train up myself to complete a 10k run in about a month’s time… I don’t know if it’s just my body calling quit, I couldn’t push myself to do any work today. I don’t feel like dragging my […]

CN Tower
Did what most tourists would do and gone up CN Tower this afternoon, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing the city from high above. Stopped by St. George on my way back home to make a quick visit to the building where I used to work for my last co-op term, it […]

BTBC
Went to Sunday worship, then lunch, then went back church again for some basketball. This is the same routine for the 3 Sundays I was here. In fact, this was pretty much the same routine for most of the Sundays in the 10+ years I attended BTBC. I know I’m soon going to miss my […]

Past Family House
Took a stroll around the neighborhood where I lived for 4 of my primary school years. Walked around my primary school and the adjacent park. Then I took a seat under a tree shade and sketched my past family house just across the road. There is a funny feeling visiting long forgotten places and seeing […]

Downtown Toronto
Went downtown for the first time in this vacation, it’s so inconvenient to get to the vibrant city center now that I’m staying way up North in the suburbs. Had a veal sandwich for lunch at St. Lawrence Market, briefly visited GBC (where I learned to sketch), then sat in a small park across the […]

North York Civic Centre
Bought an Italian sausage from a roadside hotdog stand and spent a solitary lunch hour outside the North York Civic Centre. Noticed the Canadian Flag and made a quick sketch. I really didn’t notice their ubiquitous presence until I became somewhat of a tourist to the country now. Took a stroll around the neighborhood of […]

M & J’s Wedding
Attended my good friend’s wedding, that signals the completion of the last mission for this trip. It was great catching up with my EE2003 friends, especially now that we’re spread all over the places. With my mission accomplished, my remaining trip can be quite spontaneous. Will spend more time catching up with friends and maybe […]

Cleaning Up
Busy cleaning up my place recently. About 75% done for my studio, and there’s also the bedroom and bathroom that I’ve yet to start. Got to get everything done before leaving for Toronto on the 29th. The way I’m rushing through everything and trying to properly leave behind the things for my family to take […]
