10K Run
The sun was shining again today after nearly a whole week of gloomy weather. Went out for a run, the last time I ran was more than 2 weeks ago! I was rather out of shape, had to stop after running 5k. Was thinking about calling it quit and head home, but I was quite […]

Creative Mondays
Still enjoying my Creative Mondays. Besides my weekly painting class, I’ve spent a little time this afternoon making a candle decoration from materials found mostly in the studio. Temperature will be staying at around 15 degrees throughout this week, winter is definitely just around the corner. It is forecast that we’ll have a very cold […]

Sudden Cold Weather
The temperature suddenly dropped from 2x degrees to as low as 14 degrees in the last couple of days. I was reluctant to leave my warm bed and resulted in getting up slightly late this morning. With the relatively colder temperature and gloomy days, I was able to lock myself in the studio without worrying […]

Goodbye Summer
The evening temperature is notably much cooler these days, I was able to sleep without A/C for a few nights already. With summer slowly fading away, life seems to be getting back to normal again. My regular weekly exercises (badminton, soccer, etc.) is starting again this week after the many weeks of dormant lifestyle. Work […]

Soccer
Was dragging my feet walking home after soccer tonight. Realized I haven’t done any exercise for a few weeks already, was out of breath, out of shape, very exhausted tonight. It’s starting to feel slightly cooler at night now, it’s about time for me to pick up jogging again, but need to buy myself a […]

Crazy winds were brought to the city thanks to Typhoon Vicente, this is probably the craziest storm since I returned about 3 years ago! The typhoon came at a really bad time as tonight is the first Monday in months that I don’t have to attend painting class, and I thought I could enjoy a […]

A Busy Week Ahead
The Observatory issued the first T1 of the year, signalling the start of the typhoon season. This might explain why I’m feeling a little headache all day. It’s Father’s Day today, our family ditched our usual dim sum place and went to a different restaurant for lunch. I didn’t eat much as my stomach was […]

Oil Painting Class
It was a hot and muggy day, thick dark clouds were hanging on the sky, but it just couldn’t quite squeeze out a drop of rain. Wished it would just let it pour and cool down the city. Couldn’t quite get myself to do any productive work in this weather, ended up wasting an afternoon […]

Spring Rain
Life is pretty much back to normal after a few sick days. Something in me seemed to have changed however, I was working unusually diligently and feeling good about it. Maybe it’s true – “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!” The weather also seems to echo my inner renewal. It has been raining since […]

More Illustrations
Spent another day doing illustrations for a small freelance job, Adobe Illustrator is quickly becoming my friend! It’s a cool and rainy day here in HK, and it will likely stay this way for much of this week. Feels good being able to close my home studio’s door without worrying being baked by the scorching […]
