My BIG Day
Didn’t make a it a big fuss for my 39th birthday yesterday, but it was still rather memorable… Had my usual weekly calligraphy class in the morning, it just so happened that the last letter of the Thousand Words (千字文) was covered. It had been more than a year since I learnt the first letter! […]

Random Thoughts from Wedding
Joined my parents, brother, and sister-in-law to a wedding banquet near our home last night. It was the wedding of the son of late Mr. Kot. I remember that around this time 2 years ago I was actually on the same ship with Mr. Kot during a cruise trip to Japan… Sitting at our table […]

Recent Updates
It’s been awhile since I sat in front on my laptop and talk to my journal… Firstly, since this “co-op term” started at the beginning of the month, I stopped my regular morning running practice, not because of work but mainly just due to the unusually hot weather… I’ve also finished the month-long Cafe Startup […]

Cafe Start-up Course
Finally started the 8-session (16 hour) cafe start-up course I registered back in Feb. last night. The idea of opening a coffee shop took shape after my uncle passed away last year. After my uncle’s death, I came to realize how meaningless my previous work was and began on a journey to heal myself via […]

April is Here!!
Went on a long weekend binge watching Friends, had instant noodle in tupperware and a couple of beer… As unauthentic as this little March Break is, it felt like I can use a little bit of nostalgia before starting things anew… March 2018 is officially over, and that marks the end of my 2 year […]

CNY’s Day
Was rather tired last night, deliberately turned off my phone and slept before midnight. Slept pretty well. Woke up at around 9am and did my daily devotion, then made coffee and had breakfast while turning on my phone and replying to the expected floods of CNY greeting messages. Had dim sum lunch with my family […]

Art for Food?
Valentine’s Day. Was thinking about asking the girl I like out, but she said early this week she didn’t have the luxury to go to the annual CNY market this year, I’m just assuming she’s busy today as well? Or is she dating someone else? Actually, does she have a bf? How can I be […]
