Robots and Workshop
Watched a presentation this morning about autonomous flying robots, it brought back fond memories of my undergraduate engineering days. For our final year design project (FYDP), my team and I created a robot cat to chase after a robot mouse. Although it didn’t quite work during the 2-day Symposium, the entire FYDP was a rewarding […]

Red Pockets
It was almost impossible to work in my home studio in the late afternoon because of the westerly sun, so I took a break and opened my red pockets that were collected during the CNY holiday. Looked at some of the new bill designs and noticed that Braille was incorporated, nice to see designs that […]

Aquarium
It’s becoming one of my most look-forward-to weekend events now – tending my studio’s aquarium! Spent an entire afternoon today and did a thorough cleaning of the aquarium, removed the algae that carpeted much of the stone wall and sediments, hopefully it won’t come back again. Don’t know why there’s so much nutrients in the […]

2 Year Anniversary
It’s been 2 years since I moved back to HK, time for a little reflection… One of the biggest accomplishments over the last 2 years is the completion of my MSc. degree in Sustainable and Environmental Design. Read quite a lot of books and had learned a great deal in the subject of Architecture. I […]

Cleanup II
Finished cleaning up my home studio, it’s not clutter-free like the bedroom, but it feels like I’ll be comfortable working here from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday! It looks like I’m in good shape to finally start some real work on Monday!

Cleanup
I disliked the roman blinds that was installed in my bedroom, they completely blocked the operable windows and discouraged natural ventilation and daylighting. After 2 years of occasional visual/psychological annoyance, I finally replaced them with rolling screens, they filter (rather than block) strong direct sunlight and leaves the operable windows operable even when they’re lowered. […]

Turning Point
The 3 kids in the house had finally moved back to their renovated apartment last week, tranquility was once again experienced after ~2 months! Reclaimed my bedroom so I no longer had to sleep in my home studio, it’s nice to be able to physically separate the work and rest area once again. Had kept […]

Studio Sleepover
My 2 nephews and niece moved up and took over my bedroom becoz their apartment is under renovation. Even though there’s a mattress in my studio, I had never spend an entire night in the room as I insisted in separating work and sleep. No such luxury anymore, at least not for another 3 weeks!

Cleaning Up
Busy cleaning up my place recently. About 75% done for my studio, and there’s also the bedroom and bathroom that I’ve yet to start. Got to get everything done before leaving for Toronto on the 29th. The way I’m rushing through everything and trying to properly leave behind the things for my family to take […]

Extra Day-off
Gave myself an extra “day-off” before locking myself up for the rest of the week to work on my dissertation. Went shopping and bought some assassin snails to hopefully control the nuisance snail infestation in my studio’s aquarium. Played 3.5 hours of badminton tonight, a personal record. I’ll probably be too tired to leave home […]
