Day 6 – All cleaned up! This concludes my week-long studio renovation project. Will rest tomorrow (Day 7). Looking at the before & after shot, I’m very happy with the transformation of the studio. Thankful to be given such a great place to explore art and design, may good works come out from this wonderful […]

Studio Renovation V
Day 5 – Set up my art supplies, planted a row of plants (mainly succulents brought from home), and started cleaning up. Hope to finish this little renovation project tomorrow. Before renovating my studio, I sat in on a public forum at my Alma Mater in the morning. It was about climate change from HK’s […]

Studio Renovation IV
Day 4 – Finished painting the wall, my biggest piece of artwork ever! Time flies when I’m working in the studio, was a little late arriving at fellowship tonight. Good thing I didn’t miss the programme. We welcomed a few guest speakers to talk about career, something I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I seem […]

Oil Painting Class
Completed one of my most satisfying piece of work tonight! There are still lots of room for improvement, but the result looks encouraging enough that I want to continue practicing and seek further improvements in this ever more enjoyable hobby of mine.

10K Run
Temperature rose above 20 degrees yesterday afternoon and I decided to go out for a run. Haven’t ran for weeks, a bit out of shape, I stopped running after 3k. Thought about giving up and head home, but it was still early, so I found a place to sit, rest, and watch some youngsters play […]

Creative Mondays
Went out for an early lunch today, followed by a quick walk at IKEA and some book browsing at a bookstore before heading home. Started working on an “urgent” design project for my church before ending my day with oil painting class. My creative Mondays is becoming more routine, and life seems to be slowly […]

Receipts
Not too sure why I kept all the purchase receipts of 2012. The sheer volume testifies the consumerist nature in our society. I wonder how many of those receipts are from purchases of things I NEED rather than things I WANT. If I’m ever going to make resolutions this year, one of the items should […]
