2019-nCoV Threat
With the imminent threat of the Wuhan coronavirus and an unreliable government in controlling its infiltration to our city, I have extended the CNY holiday for another week. However, I did go back to the studio on Sat. to do some cleaning and to pack some stuff to work from home this coming week. Decided […]

Weekly Update
The past week was another rollercoaster ride of highs and lows… It started off on a light happy note with the ex-Chief of HK appearing on a creative ad on the front page of a local newspaper. It got me thinking about advertising, crowdfunding, freedom of press, etc Mom entered and stayed in the hospital […]

Recovered and Socializing
Had been monitoring my resting heart rate (bpm) closely since I suffered from the bad flu. It has always been considerably constant rating at around 60 bpm since I got my Fitbit about a year ago, so I never paid much attention to it. But since I got sick many weeks ago, I noticed that […]

Recovered (~90%)
Joined the UW alumni to play some badminton again yesterday. Only 8 players showed up, and with 2 courts booked, there was barely resting time during the 2 hours. Tired, but I felt much better than last week, a good sign of recovery. Can’t say that I’m 100% healed from the bad flu however, the […]

Recovered (~80%)
My legs were shaking when I was playing badminton yesterday, don’t remember feeling this way ever before. I’m recovering from a bad flu, was hoping that a little exercise would help the healing.

Still Sick…
Still feeling sick – poor sleep quality, headaches, coughing, and short of breath. But I think it’s improving – less frequent wake ups in the middle of the night and less severe headaches. A few people had told me in the past few weeks that I looked much thinner. I don’t have the habit of […]

The CUHK Handicraft Fair
It has been 2 years since I participated in a craft fair. This one on past Sat. seemed less exhausting, perhaps due to it being only one day and with shorter opening hours. The exhaustion actually came from the preparation work which included designing and launching a website, designing and printing 120 different postcards, and […]

Life and Death
Just finished reading a short book Morrie: In His Own Words. Was constantly thinking about my 90-yr-old classmate from my Tuesdays-with-Morrie-like calligraphy class. He’s good and well and I still feel blessed to seeing him at class every Tuesday morning. But over the ~2.5 years since I started learning calligraphy, I’ve been witnessing his hearing […]

Went to the funeral of Mr. Kot on Sunday evening with my dad and sister. His daughter gave a speech on Mr. Kot’s life on behalf of the family, I was moved and couldn’t control my tears. My empathy towards others seemed to have grown last year since my uncle passed away, I am now […]
