Soul Searching
Spent the week slowly to rest, plan, and do a little soul searching. Read a couple of good books and watched a few inspiring movies. I think I’m getting more clear about what I should set out to do for my work this year, I’m more or less ready to start the Year of the […]

1st Half Marathon Completed!!
I’ve MADE IT!! I’ve completed my 1st half marathon!! Though slow (2h43min), I’m happy that I was able to complete the full 21K without stopping (I did stop briefly once to tie my shoelace). Although the weather didn’t cooperate (it rained throughout most of the run), it was a wonderful experience to run with so […]

Although costly, my sudden illness seems to me more like a blessing than a curse. Since the inevitable illness started in early Dec., I was given the opportunity to spend more time […]

I hope to utilize the area more in 2015 and do more illustrations/cartoons on my spare time. I also spent a lot of […]

Instead, we had the rare occasion to meet up our uncle and aunt for dim sum. They had been battling with some serious illness in recent years, it was good to see […]

Father’s Birthday
It so happens that my father’s lunar birthday is on Silent Night this year. We had hot pot at my brother’s place and took the precious opportunity to take a family photo. The last time our family of 14 had a family photo together was 2 years ago!

A Little Reflection
Doctor said I can go home and continue the medication tomorrow!! =) A little reflection of the 10+ days of hospitalized experience: I believe this is God’s way of telling me to rest and reconnect with Him. When I was suffering from continuous high fever, feeling most vulnerable with the thought of death crossing my […]
