Ocean Park
Went to Ocean Park with my 2 nephews and sister today before our family’s “do winter” dinner. It had been years since I last visited the park, seeing all the animals still entertains me, especially the pandas. Was on the cable car and staring out at the waters, it hit me when I all of […]

Family Day
It must have been close to a month since our family of 10 had our regular Sunday dimsum! Gained a new perspective on my family’s Canada vacation after listening to my sister’s and brother-in-law’s narratives. Saddened to know how my father was disrespected and neglected by his 2 elder grand-kids. Perhaps they’re still too young […]

Home Sweet Home
Arrived HK yesterday when most people were still asleep. Immediately noticed the hot and humid air when exiting the airport, but thankful that it wasn’t raining. The long haul flight was exhausting. I managed to reach home by myself on bus. Arrived home without my parents noticing. I took a shower, relief was immediately sensed. […]

CN Tower
Did what most tourists would do and gone up CN Tower this afternoon, I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of seeing the city from high above. Stopped by St. George on my way back home to make a quick visit to the building where I used to work for my last co-op term, it […]

BTBC
Went to Sunday worship, then lunch, then went back church again for some basketball. This is the same routine for the 3 Sundays I was here. In fact, this was pretty much the same routine for most of the Sundays in the 10+ years I attended BTBC. I know I’m soon going to miss my […]

Past Family House
Took a stroll around the neighborhood where I lived for 4 of my primary school years. Walked around my primary school and the adjacent park. Then I took a seat under a tree shade and sketched my past family house just across the road. There is a funny feeling visiting long forgotten places and seeing […]

Downtown Toronto
Went downtown for the first time in this vacation, it’s so inconvenient to get to the vibrant city center now that I’m staying way up North in the suburbs. Had a veal sandwich for lunch at St. Lawrence Market, briefly visited GBC (where I learned to sketch), then sat in a small park across the […]

Metro Toronto Zoo
Spent a leisure afternoon at the zoo. Was planning to make sketches of native fauna, but there were only a handful of animals at the Canadian Domain, and most of them could not be easily sketched. Aside from the bounded animals, there were many chipmunks running all over the places. I also had a glimpse […]

Visiting UTSC
Visited my research supervisor at UTSC, he treated me and the entire research group for lunch! Really glad to see everyone again. With the peculiar character of our supervisor, I had many happy and yet productive hours spent in my year of study there. Happy to see the lab prospering, the world can use more […]

Belated B-Day Dinner
Went for wings with a couple of my ex-colleagues for lunch, didn’t get the beer to go with it like ol’ times because I insisted on being a responsible driver. Had Japanese dinner with my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 nieces. Even though I’m staying in their basement, I only had dinner at “home” once for […]
