A Day to Remember
On my 40th birthday, I slept in and didn’t wake up until near 0900. I planned to take the day off way before there was an open call to strike after the million people protest against the proposed China Extradition bill. I took my time to catch up on the daily news over breakfast. News […]

Weekly Update…
Skipped a week of updates because I was too tired last Sunday after joining the city’s rally against the extradition to mainland rule. The rally had the largest number of protesters since the Umbrella Movement, there was a sense of hope I felt afterwards. But will our stubborn Government listen to their people? There are […]

Weekly Update
The past week was another rollercoaster ride of highs and lows… It started off on a light happy note with the ex-Chief of HK appearing on a creative ad on the front page of a local newspaper. It got me thinking about advertising, crowdfunding, freedom of press, etc Mom entered and stayed in the hospital […]

(Happy) New Year 2018
Slept early last night, briefly woke up at midnight by noisy fireworks and neighbours’ celebrations. I could never understand why the HK Government constantly pour so much money in ephemeral and polluting firecrackers while so many of its citizens are struggling to make ends meet in this economically polarised city. I actually slept pretty well […]

R.I.P. Liu Xiaobo
The recent media is flooded with news of 2o10 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Liu Xiaobo. I have been following the media and caught glimpses of the deceased Liu Xiaobo’s photos, couldn’t help but remember my uncle who also died of liver cancer just a few months ago. My uncle is also around the same age as […]

Keep Running
Made an effort to continue my running practice this morning while the weather still permits. I’ve always been thankful for the luxury to flexibly schedule my working hours, it’s rather pleasurable to be able to run and sweat in the morning before getting busy with the day. Recently, the luxury to run in the morning […]

Trump Won?!
Was brainstorming on a poster design for my church’s upcoming evangelical meeting while being notified of the US election result… Beside Canada, Americans may consider applying citizenship for the Kingdom of God, that may be easier than moving to Mars! Decided to take the design opportunity to do some cartooning, something I haven’t done for […]

Umbrella Movement 2nd Anniversary
I remember vividly this night 2 years ago when I went out to witness one of the biggest civil movements in HK, my phone was flooded with messages from family and friends telling me to stay safe… Seeing the recent LegCo election result, I think the eventual Umbrella Movement was not futile, at least it […]

Solemn Sunday
Reciting the Lord’s Prayer “… Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” at Sunday service today seemed particularly meaningful. Today is Election Day for HK’s Legislative Council, and I really do pray and hope that God would pour His grace and mercy upon our city and its people. […]

Holiday
Had been a little busy for a week or so as I tried to complete the website for my studio before Q2 ended, just barely made it to have it launched yesterday! Decided to take a day off to rest and not to join the annual protest this afternoon. Spent some solitude time in the […]
