Some Milestones
Turned 47 on Friday, how did I get so old all of a sudden?! Life moves on… A few UW friends came out for a little celebration while watching the first Canada team game on home turf for World Cup. The Canada team scored its first ever World Cup point and tied the match. Apparently […]

Hongkong-ness
Picked up the slack this past week and had spent more time setting up the studio space and less time staring meaninglessly at my investment portfolio value going up and down. Bought a couple of used furniture for the studio, felt good to be giving some useful objects a second chance before they end up […]

A Time to Meet
Been back to HK for more than a week now. The city still felt as though it’s under a dark gloomy veil from the Wang Fuk fire tragedy. The introverted side of me utilized the city-wide mourning as an excuse not to socialize. But as the time of my visit quickly runs out, I started […]

Thanks to the support of my family and friends, and the gracious providence of God, I feel now that I am fully settled back to this country for good. The big items including shelter, transportation, and finances are now more or less […]
