Thanksgiving Weekend
It was the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend the last few days. On Saturday evening, the meetup with a couple of my high school friends’ family was finally successfully organized since my return to the country in November last year. It had been nearly a year in making, a couple or more attempts for us to […]

A New Rhythm
Started getting more and more anxious as the marathon race day approaches. In response, I got more serious with my training this past week. One big change I made was forcing myself to wake up early to do the running practices in the morning instead of at night. Set my alarm to 5am yesterday and […]

End of Summer
I started playing basketball again after moving back to Canada. It’s all thanks to a friend (ex-coworker) who introduced me to his special group of basketball friends who have met each other from playing in the same court for over 10 or even 20 years. Yesterday was the last time a few of us will […]

Slow Living
Slowly weaning off my compulsive habit of constantly checking my investment portfolio throughout the day. After about 1.5 months of playing in the stock market sandbox, I think I have more or less seeded all the investment fund into about 10 dividend-paying stocks (mostly ETFs). Ongoing work should just be leaving the stocks to grow […]

Summer Meetups
This past week had been considerably productive. I kept myself busy reading and learning about investing, it’s a topic I’ve been reluctant to touch until I realized it’s something unavoidable. Will give myself one more week to learn before getting my hands wet on making my first self-conducted investment. Besides reading, I managed to discipline […]

Starting New
Had a somewhat productive week. Finally started my plan of setting up a sustainable design studio here in Canada by registering for a new domain name. Will officially register for the company once I have my business email and phone number ready. Besides the domain name registration, I managed to do a few other things: […]

3rd Marathon
First mission accomplished for the Q4 break away from the studio! I was seriously lacking practice for the marathon due to the past extremely hot and wet summer that prohibited many of my planned training. I was also unprepared. I entered the race with only 1 gel pack to replenish my energy during the long […]

Procrastinating… 😖
There’s only a bit over a week left before my scheduled Q4 break. Had been working long hours each day this past week. Finally completed a 3D printing commission and had the prints delivered and paid for. Thankful for this first ever 3D modeling and printing opportunity, it boosted my confidence in persevering in this […]

Super Typhoon Saola
The day after the rare super blue moon appeared, Super Typhoon started ravaging the city on Fri. morning, but I managed to sneak back to the studio in the early afternoon to do some work before the highest typhoon no. 10 signal was hoisted in the evening. The unexpected typhoon deterred many of my plans […]

Still Progressing…
Made considerable progress on the 3DP Lego minifig project, should be able to complete the order this coming week! For my weekly long run practice, I only managed to complete a 10k run this week. Aiming to do a half-marathon this week, hopefully the weather and my body would cooperate. Didn’t need to go back […]
