Not Too Weary Journey
As I grew older, I started to hate traveling on the plane, especially for long flights. I can’t sleep well on the plane and I can’t quite bear the smell/taste of airplane food (cup noodle is an exception). My flight back to HK this time was not as weary as I anticipated. Although I still […]

Goodbye Canada…
In less than 3 hours, I’ll be heading to the airport saying farewell to a country I’ve spent more than half my life in… I’m leaving this place with an anxious mind, but at the same time with a heart full of thankfulness. I’m thankful that God had blessed me with such wonderful friends here […]

Farewell Dinner
I had the farewell dinner with my church b/s tonight. I truly feel blessed that God allowed me to be surrounded by such wonderful people every week. The truth is, I’ll probably miss them as much as they’ll miss me…

Elim Fellowship
I’ve been feeling this stress/anxiety building up inside me throughout the week. There were a few nights I couldn’t fall sleep until 4 or 5am. This is not like the stress I feel in exam times, and I don’t recall any similar prior experience. It’s beyond my vocabulary to describe what I’m feeling… I felt […]

AGO
I’ve finally visited the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) today! I’ve been wanting to go for ages, but the visit was delayed for fear of the dreadfully long trip to downtown. I’m glad I overcame that fear today. It was a great experience, especially when I was accompanied by a friend who knows so much […]

CD Lava Lamp
While I was packing, I found an old lava lamp, some robotics stuff for my undergrad design project, and a bunch of useless CDs. I spent my Friday afternoon transforming all that into somewhat of a sculpture. There are 2 more projects I wish to complete before I leave Toronto – One is to transform […]

Week of Gatherings
I had the pleasure to meet up and farewell many of my friends this week. Friends including colleagues from my last 2 workplaces (GS1 Canada, SCI) and from school (UTSC, UW). I’ve even met up with friends from highschool (EHSS) and elementary school (Steelesview PS)! I’m thankful to be always surrounded by friends – friends […]

Origami
I’m guilty of chopping down trees for mindlessly printing paper for reading. It’s just too tiring to read long papers on the screen! To ease my guilt, I usually save up the printed pages and use the backside as scrap paper for doodling or draft work. In order to use up the piles of unused […]

Mini UW Class Reunion
It’s a rare occasion that we have 2 of our classmates back in town at the same time, so we had a mini UW reunion on Wed. night. The dinner served an additional purpose for me, it’s the start of a series of farewell meals I’ll be having with friends whom I wouldn’t see as […]

Acrylic Painting
I bought this inexpensive Acrylic Painting for Dummies kit a few years ago when I was taking night classes that explored many different art media. However, I didn’t play with the kit until today. Acrylic paint is quite versatile, it’s like oil paint when thickened but it behaves more like watercolor when diluted. I followed […]
