Spring
Took a slow walk home after lunch, I noticed all the brightly colored flowers dotting everywhere in the neighborhood. Spring has arrived. The truth is, this past Winter didn’t really feel like Winter at all, temperature never dropped below 10 degrees. Can I blame this on Climate Change?

Creative Mondays
Did a lot of planting this afternoon, the row of succulents previously planted on my desktop didn’t quite last, hopefully these new species would survive in my apparently harsh desktop environment.

DIY
Can’t think of what to get for my friend’s birthday, decided to do a little DIY this afternoon, hopefully she’ll like the little gift I made. I kind of like giving living plants as gifts because they don’t deteriorate over time, and they don’t become outdated like electronic gifts. In contrast, if plants are well […]

Week Review
This is one of those weeks where badminton, soccer, and bball coincide on the same week, I think this is probably as much physical activity as my body can handle. A lot of other things also happened this week. I finally launched a website I had been working on and off for a few months, […]

Mother’s Day

Desktop Plants
Took a stroll around Flower Market this afternoon, the area was busier than usual, probably becoz it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow. Bought 6 different species of succulents to replace the row of unsuccessful plantations on my desk. The previous attempt failed likely because the single species of sedum required more light than what my desk can […]

Work
Had been keeping myself busy for the last few days clearing up some freelance work, I think about 75% of the work had been done. Should be able to transition into a full-time deesigner next week. Weather has been getting quite hot lately, it’s starting to become almost unbearable to work in my west-facing home […]

Aquarium
Helped a friend fix a website bug before heading out for lunch today. Went for a little stroll in Mong Kok afterwards and bought a batch of cherry shrimps. I had been trying to breed the tiny shrimps for months without success – I can see miniscule transparent baby shrimps, but they can’t seem to […]

Aquarium
It’s becoming one of my most look-forward-to weekend events now – tending my studio’s aquarium! Spent an entire afternoon today and did a thorough cleaning of the aquarium, removed the algae that carpeted much of the stone wall and sediments, hopefully it won’t come back again. Don’t know why there’s so much nutrients in the […]
