Art
After moving back to Canada for more than a year, I finally started picking up doing some art again. The Print Studio 101 course I enrolled at the beginning of the year did provide the motivation I was hoping for. Weekly class and assignment was of great help to move my lazy butt away from […]

The Marathon
The long anticipated marathon finally came on Sunday. I thought I was more prepared than 2 years ago when I ran the same race, but ended up taking about 30 minutes longer to finish this time around. The time limit was 6 hours and I finished the marathon in 5 hours and 58 minutes! š […]

It had been nearly a year in the making, a couple or more attempts for us […]

Summer Meetups
This past week had been considerably productive. I kept myself busy reading and learning about investing, itās a topic Iāve been reluctant to touch until I realized itās something unavoidable.

Temperature is slightly on the cool side, but still much more comfortable than the hot and humid weather in HK. Been back to this free and beautiful city for nearly a month already. Life is lived in a relatively […]

After days of unfamiliar boredom, some drama by the head in chief of Canadaās southern neighbor and by my studioās neighbors in HK stirred up some ripples in my quiet and unproductive life. The sudden and chaotic trade war that was unjustifiably initiated by Mr. Trump in the south made news more entertaining while hurting […]

New Home & (Lunar) New Year
Took me about a week to move in to my new place after its closing. It could have been sooner, but I didnāt want to move in before installing internet at the new place. Though I have restrained myself from buying many things during the 2.5 months of living in the short-term rental, it still […]

One Month
It has been just over a month since I returned to TO. So far I had settled in a temporary condo rental and quickly had a mini design studio set up, bought a very old car from a childhood friend, seen over 30 condo units and just nearly bought one last week! Made considerable progress […]
