Before Summer Ends…
The summer is ending very quickly. After meeting up with the 10th friend visiting CanTO the week before, I decided to message some old friends to meet and catch up before the summer ends. Met up with some bball friends on Wednesday evening, showed them my new studio before having dinner and watching a Jays […]

Shifting Focus
Last weekend marks the first anniversary of my investment journey. With my parents’ many years of constant nagging, I finally took the time to learn some of the basics of economics and stocks investment and bought my very first stocks on August 8th of last year. In the course of the year, I had invested […]

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 […]

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 […]

Studio Setup and Church Retreat
Returned from HK for about 10 days already. My immediate task after returning to TO was to set up the studio I started leasing in May. After buying insurance, getting the key to the studio, a quick “orientation”, and many rounds of moving stuff back and forth from home to the studio, I had managed […]

Blessed HK Trip
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 […]

Wrapping Up Q1
Time really passed by too fast, just realized it had been nearly a month since I last posted. Many things, mostly happy things, happened in March. A friend was in town for work and I had a chance to meet some of her close friends here, it brought back some fond memories of my UW […]

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 […]
