Best Man
One inevitably feels honored when being asked to be the Best Man for his friend’s wedding, but I was a bit reluctant at first because I don’t really like attracting attention and have a natural tendency to shy away from the spotlight. But after everything about the wedding is completed tonight, I’m glad that I […]

Air Pollution
When I came home from badminton tonight, my mom told me worryingly to close the windows and turn on the air conditioning before going to bed. The weather isn’t too hot yet, it’s the air pollution! The air pollution index (api) topped off at 500 (severe) today mainly due to the devastating sandstorm from northern […]

Tired
Today’s one of those days when I just don’t feel like doing anything. After departing my friend at the airport, I went home and decided to go down to shoot some hoops, just like the last few weekends. The basketball seemed to be heavier than usual today, and I had my worst shooting record by […]

My light fever has pretty much subsided, but my throat is still so sore that I couldn’t take in solid food. Haven’t stepped out of my apartment for 3 days, must be a record. It’s not just because of sickness that I stayed home, the sudden cold weather is discouraging me to even open the […]

Sickness (Part II)
My sickness continued. It’s very minor, just prolonged. Felt weak and vulnerable, an unexpectedly good feeling. I am reminded of one time when I got seriously sick when I was living by myself in Toronto. Death didn’t feel too far from me then, I was half-conscious and struggled immensely in my mind saying to myself […]

Sickness
Woke up this morning with a minor headache and sore throat. Nothing serious, just a minor fever. I’m actually thankful, for this is the first time I got sick since returning to HK, not a simple feat considering my previous sickness-prone annual visits.

Bauhinia Blakeana
Recently, I started noticing the vivid pink and purple colors dotted all over the streets of HK. It’s the blooming season for the city’s floral emblem. I remember stumbling upon a small park which had tens of Bauhinia trees planted, so I made an effort to visit it again expecting to see something like the […]
