More Meetups
Met up with a UW classmate last Sunday at my studio before she flew back to US. Really glad we got to meet and catch up after missing the meetup the week before. Another UW friend was visiting from HK and I was invited to join their group dinner meetup before he flew back two […]

Back To Regularity
With the World Cup event finally over, life this past week had resumed to a more regular fashion. I went back to the studio every single day, usually starting from late afternoons till evenings (7-ish). There were one or two nights I stayed past midnight waiting for 3D print jobs to finish. One of the […]

Good Friends
Finally had my flat tire fixed at a friend’s shop on Wednesday. Apparently, it was due to a leaky valve attached to the old rim and had nothing to do with the new tires I bought from a bball friend who recently started his venture of selling tires. The childhood friend who passed on the […]

Managed to pull off a month-long trip to HK to see my parents before getting busy with setting up a studio in TO starting May. I was worried at first about needing to stay with my parents and causing all kinds of unnecessary conflicts during the short stay. To my surprise, my parents didn’t nag […]

Art
After moving back to Canada for more than a year, I finally started picking up doing some art again. The Print Studio 101 course I enrolled at the beginning of the year did provide the motivation I was hoping for. Weekly class and assignment was of great help to move my lazy butt away from […]

First Anniversary
The past weekend marked the first anniversary of my return back to Canada. Thanks to the support of my family and friends, and the gracious providence of God, I feel now that I am fully settled back to this country for good. The big items including shelter, transportation, and finances are now more or less […]

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 […]
