Hong Kong Visitors
Toronto seems to be a hotspot for HK visitors this summer. A good friend’s dad, another good friend’s in-laws, and a high school friend who just arrived last week with his wife and daughter. I was delighted to be spending time with them, catching up and introducing them to the country where I now call […]

A Week of Mourning
The weather was mostly cloudy and gloomy during weekdays this past week. After a tiring week at the studio and after knowing about the devastating news of a friend’s brother (also my friend) sudden passing away, I decided to take some time off work. The gloomy weather was good for me to watch World Cup […]

Some Milestones
Turned 47 on Friday, how did I get so old all of a sudden?! Life moves on… A few UW friends came out for a little celebration while watching the first Canada team game on home turf for World Cup. The Canada team scored its first ever World Cup point and tied the match. Apparently […]

World Cup
The final game for World Cup was a super exciting one! I was watching it at a neighborhood study/co-working space with mostly strangers whom I had never met before. There were about 10 of us watching the game, but the atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, much better than if I were to watch the game […]

World Cup
The past week’s schedule was skewed slightly by World Cup. A few games that were broadcasted freely kicked off at midnight, I stayed up to catch the games and went to bed immediately at around 2am. Bedtime reading was no longer needed to put myself to sleep. Had quite a few social meetups again this […]

Keep Running…
Not much had happened this past week (relatively speaking). Hundreds of pro-democracy district councilors call quit before the anticipated disqualification by the government. Apparently, it’s now a crime to serve the community as long as you are not pro-China. The city’s atmosphere continues to feel depressing and suffocating and I continue to try ignoring it […]

World Cup Craze
Every four years I transform myself into a soccer fan trying to catch the World Cup games at the most inconvenient times (I never seemed to be at the same time zone of the World Cup host countries). I don’t usually watch soccer games, and it must be more than a year since I stopped […]

Movies and Dreams
After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose. Did a brief stay-cation […]

Fuzzy Head
Caught a minor cold/flu with a runny nose, clogged ear, and fuzzy head. Couldn’t quite put myself to work with this state of mind, took it easy today and watched some Olympics badminton and continued my reading of Jimmy SPA’s illustrative books. <<Beautiful Solitude>>, another imaginative book by Jimmy SPA. There were a few occasions in […]

Sick Day
Woke up with a minor sore throat and light fever, decided to take a day off and rest at home. I can’t remember the last time I spent the afternoon at home on a weekday. Managed to read the entire book of Ezra and prepare the ppt for tomorrow’s fellowship while taking a few naps […]
