A Week of Fiery News
The major local news headline this week was about an industrial building not far from my studio that caught fire. Battling the fire was extremely difficult because the building was used as a mini storage facility that seemed to the firefighters like a maze cluttered with uncountable boxes of unknown personal objects. The fire burned […]

Monday Artist
Made the most out of my Monday Art exploration. It started with seeing an oil painting exhibition showcasing works from a competition. It was a big treat for the eyes, I was impressed by the great display of talents from local artists. While I was at the HK Central Library, I went up to the […]

深夜食堂
For 2 consecutive nights, I’ve held a little social gathering with friends at my studio. It all started spontaneously on Friday when my friends suggested meeting up after their dinner with friends nearby, it just so happened that there were no fellowship that night, and I couldn’t think of a better place to meetup than […]

Typhoon 8
Colleagues left the office before typhoon no.8 was hoisted in the late afternoon. Being left alone in the studio with no immediate work to do, I decided to use the time to finish off a cartoon I started on Monday. I still very much enjoy cartooning, sometimes I imagine what it would be like to […]

36th Birthday
Gave myself a day-off today. Watched a movie that was recommended by my sister. The movie was about the true story of a world famous Korean tenor who lost his singing ability due to sickness, a precious God-given gift vanished all of a sudden. It was an inspiring movie, I kept asking myself what my […]

New Year’s Eve
Couldn’t join my fellowship’s hotpot at night because I’m still on medication and my doctor advised me not to join gatherings with many people. It has been like a month since I last joined fellowship, sure hope I’ll be able to recover fully and join again soon. Tonight’s another one of those times when I […]

Darkest Day in HK
Was determined to be an eyewitness of the “Big Banquet” because I didn’t want my perception to be tainted by the media. I was however too coward to be in the action, so I took a stroll away from the crowd and police to do a little reflection in solitude… It wasn’t true solitude as […]

Student Protest Livestream
Staying up late watching the livestream(http://bit.ly/occupycentral) of the last day of students’ week-long “Boycotting Class for Democracy”. Kind of wished I was there to support the students. But what possibly can I do even if I’m there physically? Praying for serenity and courage, peace and justice… p.s. Last time I stayed up to watch something […]

Mid-Autumn Holiday
Slept till around 11am, had half a mooncake and coffee for breakfast. Was thinking about taking a stroll in the mall, but worried about the crowd, ended up spending the afternoon in the studio to catch up some TV shows. Played soccer at night. It has been weeks since I had done any exercise, my […]
