Soccer
Played soccer under the Lion Rock this evening. There were more people than usual, even our pastor played! I spent a fair bit of time on the sideline dribbling the ball on my own, I can easily spend all day trying to tame the ball, just like my days in UW when the Columbia field […]

An Old Man on MTR
On my way to fellowship last night, I saw a middle-aged man on the MTR. He had this great satisfactory smile on his face while examining the newly purchased basketball, I imagined him thinking about his son’s surprised joyful face when seeing the gift. Walking up the slope to my church, I couldn’t stop thinking […]

The Borrower Arrietty
Saw the movie <<The Borrower Arrietty>> with my sister, brother-in-law, niece, nephew and his friend today. It’s been ages since I saw a movie by Hayao Miyazaki in the theatre, it was one of the most awesome movies I’ve seen in the last few years! Love the way the environmental message was subtlly delivered from […]

Christmas Card
Was up until 5am working on my Christmas card, interesting how time flies when I’m absorbed in my work. It was my first time doing ink & wash and watercolor since returning to HK, brought back good memories of the late-night project crunching time for my cartooning/illustration night courses. Will email the card out tomorrow, […]

Independent Study
Locked myself in my studio reading research papers today. In fact, this had been my 9-5 job since Monday! Still much to read before I can even begin to write my research paper… Kind of miss my research days in the EcoLab, miss the occasional random chit-chat with my lab-mates in the windowless lab.

Chung Yeung Festival
Parents left home early for Mainland to pay respect to ancestors. I also congested my way through crowds who were heading to the cemetery, but I was just going for a friendly game of soccer nearby. It was rather awkward playing under the strong smell of burning incense, but I had a great time playing […]

Tsing Yi
It’s Chinese National Holiday today. Went back to Tsing Yi to play bball with my highschool friends. This is one of the rare occasions that I went back during the day rather than night to play badminton. With much time to spare after the game, I forgot about my fatigued body and took a long […]

Catholic Wedding
Attended my friend’s wedding ceremony this afternoon, my first time experiencing the catholic ceremony rituals. It was also my first time attending a wedding ceremony in a church in HK, I had many flashbacks of the many weddings I’ve been to in my Toronto church…

Rainy Days
Starring through my studio window, the far mountaintops are barely visible behind layers of slanted rain. This familiar scenery always brings me back to a particular episode when I was in grade 1 or 2 studying at a boarding school in HK. I remember myself sitting in a classroom with my desk close to the […]

Let’s Move On
There is this MINI showcase in the mall close by, I couldn’t resist to close in and take a peek at it (this is out of my character as I have a tendency to avoid crowds). After returning my leased car about a year ago, the vivid image of my hand gently holding the round-topped […]
