Hongkong-ness
Picked up the slack this past week and had spent more time setting up the studio space and less time staring meaninglessly at my investment portfolio value going up and down. Bought a couple of used furniture for the studio, felt good to be giving some useful objects a second chance before they end up […]

Investment Result
Yesterday marked the 3-month milestone since I made my first ever stock investment. Took a little time to evaluate my quarterly performance. Overall, my rookie performance for the quarter was quite decent, making a growth of just above 6%. Compared to the market index of around 8% growth and my personal goal of 2.5% growth […]

Paper Making (cont’ d)
Continued with my paper recycling project this past week. Successfully recycled the many paper coffee cups I had saved up into beautiful handcrafted pink and white paper! I find much satisfaction in transforming waste into beautiful and useful things. Would be nice if I could make some decent income via such joyful endeavors. I’m still […]

Paper Making
Since making my first ever self-conducted investment a few weeks ago, it has become a bit of an addiction to check up my investment accounts compulsively throughout the day during market hours to see how the value of my portfolio fluctuates. Didn’t make a lot of buying or selling, but I’m quite fascinated to see […]

Horticulture
My friend leaving me many plants to take care of while he’s on vacation had triggered my passion for indoor gardening once again. In addition to my friend’s many plants, I bought many more of my own. My northeast facing window sill was perfect in recreating the Garden of Eden planting system I designed (and […]

Home Studio
It has been about a month since the site visit, but I still haven’t heard back from the owner of the studio space I hoped to rent. I started designing and renovating the small den in my condo. It will eventually be transformed into a space for work, storage, and a second bedroom for myself […]

Starting New
Had a somewhat productive week. Finally started my plan of setting up a sustainable design studio here in Canada by registering for a new domain name. Will officially register for the company once I have my business email and phone number ready. Besides the domain name registration, I managed to do a few other things: […]

Before I Go Back to Canada…
Finished off my PP (Plant pots & Polypropylene) recycling project with more 3D printing tests and one last IG post. Cleaned up the studio mess resulting from the project and packed up many empty spools to pass to a friend who will hopefully be able to make many spools of recycled plastic filaments after I […]

PP Recycling
Took a day off on Monday. Took a trip to TST to get some art inspirations from HKMOA. The last time I was in the area was probably about half a year ago already. Spent the whole day there to see all the art and design stuff I wanted to see. Took my time to […]

One Month Left
Been back to Canada for 2 months, now left with just 1 month before returning to HK. In the past week or so, I had been experimenting with a few materials (bamboo skewers, straws, etc.) to prototype some products I had been dreaming up for a long time. Found the perfect sustainable material for my […]
