12 Days Left š
Starting to feel the pressure for my upcoming return to Canada. There are still so many things to finish up for work and for my family. And also there are still many people I need to properly say farewell to before I can leave in peace. Just 12 days left now! This past week I […]
Count Down Begins
Thanks to a property agent friend, I finally settled on a short term rental in Canada. Immediately booked my one-way flight back to TO in mid-November. Now the countdown begins with roughly 20 days left to finish up all studio projects and properly farewell all my friends before I leave the city. Met my woodworking […]
Super Busy Week
Had a crazy busy week. Needed to go to my parentsā place for dinner on Monday to makeup for the missed usual one the night before due to my alcohol overdose episode. Had to meet up my plastic recycling friend in Kwai Chung on Wednesday to pass them my filament making machine and give them […]
More Farewells
Hastily finished up an experimental project with 3D printing movable type characters. Successfully printed the functional āstampsā as small as 28pt using a smaller 0.2 nozzle. Happily met up my studio neighbor, an old printing company that still has a huge archive of antique movable type characters, to show them the prototypes and also to […]
Farewells Have Begun
Though I still donāt know the exact date for my return to Canada, I have started organizing farewell meetups with friends. Some friends are out of town and will return in coming weeks. Good thing I had to postpone my trip again due to my sisterās upcoming trip later this week. With a couple of […]
Picking Up Pace
Picked up my pace in clearing out my apt. Finally moved all the acrylic paintings Iāve done at home to the studio. My colleague and studio visitors seemed to love the cute colorful series that is quite different than my usual brush-and-ink style. Besides paintings, I also organized my clothings and had 3 bags of […]
Clearing Up Projectsā¦
Had been busy clearing up some projects at the studio this past week. Completed a small IKEA hack, updated the display of my studioās mascot, and finally shredded some old plant pots for a recycling project I had been hoping to do many years ago! Havenāt done too much in clearing out my apartment this […]
Studio Visits
Finished the studio cleanup just in time for some studio visits this past week. A brother from church whom I met recently visited on Monday afternoon. After the visit, I treated him afternoon tea and visited his office since itās only 10 min walk from mine! An old CUHK classmate, whoās now an associate professor […]
Cleanups and Meetups
As preluded in last weekās post, I had spent much of my time last week cleaning up the studio. Made some decent progress. Will continue the seemingly never ending chore this week! I continued to experiment with multicolor 3D printing while cleaning up the studio. The milestone this past week was being able to incorporate […]
Drenching Heat
The scorching heat last week had drenched out much of my energy. It was unbearably hot here in HK last summer too, but this year seemed worse. Monday was a public holiday, I turned down my fellowship b&sā invitation to visit Macau and instead stayed home drenched in sweat and simply wasted the day away. […]
