Tiredness
Really tired but restless. Went to bed unusually early but couldn’t put myself to sleep for hours. Decided to get up and blog… It’s Sunday today but tiredness seems to be the only thing I can experience. The tiredness is probably due to the fact that I couldn’t sleep until 3~4 am last night, thanks […]

The Power of Introverts
Watched another great TED presentation today – The Power of Introverts. I still remember the time when I was interviewed for my first job after graduation, one of the questions asked was “… Do you consider yourself an extrovert or introvert?” I answered that I was a bit of both, I like to be absorbed […]

Sports and Maps
Soccer on Monday, badminton on Thursday, and basketball on Saturday, it was a week full of sports. Perhaps it’s a bit too much exercise, but I really enjoy catching up with friends, and since the 3 groups of friends don’t overlap, I had to play all 3 sports if I don’t want to miss the […]

Work and Play
Did a fair bit of freelance work today. Happy that I was finally contacted about a leaflet design freelance project I worked on before Christmas, I was starting to worry that my work would just go down the drain without being paid. Hope is alive once again! Played some soccer on a chilly rainy night, […]

Cleanup
Today is traditionally the big cleanup day before Chinese New Year. I actually started doing some cleanup yesterday and just barely got my bedroom and studio cleaned up before dinner tonight. My family picked tonight to have our family dinner before CNY, I was feeling a bit annoyed the whole night because I never really […]

Solitude
It was a rather long way home after soccer tonight. Tired, but my mind was quite refreshed after the oxygenating exercise, uncountable thoughts crossed my mind. I like this state of mind, especially on a late quiet and cool night… Pondered a bit about life, lately I’ve been rather lukewarm on almost everything (career, relationships, […]

Badminton Competition
Joined a badminton competition with my friends this afternoon, I never am too keen in joining any kind of competitions, but it’s different when I’m playing as a team. We had lost all 5 sets, not a single game was won, a total lost! I was quite disappointed at myself because even though I’ve been […]

Soccer
Played 3 hours of soccer on a rainy night. My big toes are hurting and my bones are aching, but it feels good. One of these days I shall start some regular training and get myself into shape…

Mother’s Day
Last year for Mother’s Day, we bought flowers for my mother and resulted in her whining about how the flowers would wilt in a week and we were wasting money, even though there was an obvious smile on her face. This year, I decided to buy her orchids, something I’ve been wanting to try cultivating […]

Nature is a limitless source of design inspirations. Can cities be designed to be sustainable by mimicking natural ecosystems that is inherently healthy, zero waste, self-regulating, resilient and self-renewing, and adaptable? A very appealing concept, but seems to be lacking concrete measurable progress indicators. Played soccer with my highschool friends tonight, perhaps my last social […]
