Christmas 2014
Didn’t join the Christmas service at church this year because the doctor advised me to avoid crowds while I’m still continuing the medication. Instead, we had the rare occasion to meet up our uncle and aunt for dim sum. They had been battling with some serious illness in recent years, it was good to see […]

More Plantings
Continued with my plantings at the studio. Took me the whole day to replenish the succulents, now my back is hurting a little, but it feels good to finally complete something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time! =)

Day 28
Did something mischievous. =) The Government can take down the giant banner at Lion Rock, but I bet they can’t take down this small one at my studio door!

Thanksgiving Challenge – Day 2/5
Work – I used to think a lot about my career path, but looking back it seems many jobs actually came knocking at the door without me seeking, they seemed to have been prepared for me in advance. Now I’m learning not to plan or worry about my career but to follow His guidance and […]

DIY Lantern
My sister and brother-in-law couldn’t join our regular family dim sum after church today, I decided to skip as well. Instead of the regular Sunday routine, I decided to spend the day in the quiet studio. Insisted not to work on a Sunday, I let creativity take control and designed a DIY lantern in preparation […]

723 Studio
I had imagined many times what the grand opening of my studio would be like – a cozy and joyful celebration with light snacks and drinks to serve family and friends. But I’ve been a bit too busy with work lately that I couldn’t find time to properly prepare for this big day. Instead of […]

Creative Monday
I wish to informally “launch” a potentially long-term endeavor “723 Studio” on Wednesday (July 23rd). With only 2 days and still many scheduled work unfinished, I can only do some “門面功夫”. =) Will try to finish painting the entrance door by Wednesday! Finished the last piece of work of the 3-month painting course at night, […]

Work Saturday
Spent a day in the studio alone, quietly and slowly cleared up some work. Feeling better now that I have a greater outlook on next week’s work schedule. Sometimes the best way to handle work-related stress is just simply to work harder to get it out of the way.

Work Saturday
Seems like all my Saturdays in May were spent in the studio. I prefer being alone in the studio than be surrounded by crowds on the street. Hoped to get some work done, but was stuck with an issue the whole day. I have been trying to set up a version control system on EVE […]
