Running
Another upset, ran only 4k this morning. I couldn’t blame it on the scorching sun this time as it was occasionally cloudy with comfortable breezes. The excuse of the day was that I was a little worried my body hadn’t regenerated all the blood cells lost from the biennial body check yesterday. Hopefully I’ll be […]

Running
Planned to do a 7k practice run this morning, but could only run 4k, felt defeated. I think there were 2 possible reasons for the upset, one was that I got ambitious and used up a lot of the strength at the beginning of the run, and second was the scorching sun. It was 30 […]

Running
Ran about 8k, doubled the distance when I first started running 2 weeks ago! The slightly cooler weather seems to help. Still a long way from running a half-marathon, but I believe I’m making good progress!

Typhoon 8
Colleagues left the office before typhoon no.8 was hoisted in the late afternoon. Being left alone in the studio with no immediate work to do, I decided to use the time to finish off a cartoon I started on Monday. I still very much enjoy cartooning, sometimes I imagine what it would be like to […]

Soccer
The black rain had come and gone quickly in the late morning, it was a blessing that I could play soccer in the evening without the slightest hint of rain. The last time I played the sport was back in September, if not earlier. It felt good to be back on the field playing with […]

CNY 2014
Chinese New Year 2014 has come and gone quickly and plainly. It was the hottest CNY since I came back to HK, so hot that I had to switch back to my summer blankets to sleep well at night. It also felt a little busy, it wasn’t until today (10th day of CNY) that I […]

Running
The weather was a bit too cold to run for the last couple of weeks, it warmed up a bit recently and I resumed my training. Ran the same distance (~12k) and unexpectedly with the same amount of time. I’m hoping to train up and run my first half-marathon in 2014. Had been a little […]

Exhibition Setup
Walked into the office after being away for a couple of weeks, was thinking it would just be another day in front of the computer, but it turned out to be a little more interesting… It so happens that my brother’s demising company is joining an annual exhibit for yet another year. Instead of staying […]

Creative Monday
Went to the studio to do a little planting this afternoon before heading to my oil painting class, was about 15 minutes late. Finished another painting, not too satisfied with this piece. Didn’t seem to have the mood to paint tonight for some reason, maybe it’s the subject of the painting, or maybe it’s just […]
