Last 2 Weeks
The last two weeks in Toronto was a bit hectic as expected. I rushed to finish up prototyping and delivering them to friends for testing. There were also some last minute meetups to see friends before I go. On top of all that, I needed to allocate time to cleanup the basement I rented back […]
CNY 2022
Mailed out the last batch of the hundred Blessed Sleeping Tiger (躺平福虎) postcard fai-chuns yesterday, now just have a few to deliver in person later. Still have about 10 of the postcard fai-chuns to spare. I was hoping to give them out as gifts when I meet up with friends during the CNY holidays, but […]
Inktober Challenge
Decided to take on the #inktober challenge this week, had a lot of fun each day dreaming up and inking episodes of the Story of a (starving) Artist. I constantly think back to the book Bird by Bird and the chapter about how the writer disciplined herself to sit and write a small piece of […]
深夜食堂
For 2 consecutive nights, I’ve held a little social gathering with friends at my studio. It all started spontaneously on Friday when my friends suggested meeting up after their dinner with friends nearby, it just so happened that there were no fellowship that night, and I couldn’t think of a better place to meetup than […]
Creative Monday
Before engaging full-time work after my recovery, I gave myself one last day-off to do some spontaneous creative works. I upcycled all the medical pill bottles from my illness and turned them into incubators for new life (baby succulents). I codenamed this quick spontaneous project “REBIRTH”. As the saying goes – “What doesn’t kill you […]
Creative Monday
Initially planned for a spontaneous day to do anything I wanted out of the blue, but found out that I had to attend a conference call in the afternoon. I was hoping to lavish myself with one last day of free time before the expected long working days ahead. I still managed to join the […]
Creative Monday
Decided at the last minute to skip my painting class in the evening. Shouldn’t be a problem as I’m one class ahead, it might even be better now that I’ll be on the same page with everyone else again. I had a bit of fun with 3D printing today. I downloaded, edited, and then printed […]
<>>>
Parents were out for a dinner banquet, I decided to go for a movie on my own. Watched a movie that had been on for quite some time because a few of my friends recommended it. It was based on a true story about a Reverend whose 4 yr old son had a vivid heaven […]
Spontaneous Saturday
Enjoying my spontaneous Saturdays more and more. My parents usually play mahjong on Saturdays, and without painting classes now, I’m rather free to meet up with my good friend – Ms. Spontaneity. Spent most of my day in the studio, caught up with some TV shows while doing a little cartooning. Colored my newly designed […]
KANO
If not for my sister’s recommendation, I would probably never go into the theatre myself and watch this 3-hour movie. Thankful that I listened to her, I was inspired and started thinking about my aspirations again. Don’t you just love films that compels you to reflect upon your life and question your life’s purpose?! Am […]
