Studio Sleepover
My 2 nephews and niece moved up and took over my bedroom becoz their apartment is under renovation. Even though there’s a mattress in my studio, I had never spend an entire night in the room as I insisted in separating work and sleep. No such luxury anymore, at least not for another 3 weeks!

Aquarium
Bought half a dozen baby Panda Corydoras, love seeing their tiny active bodies swim and curiously explore their new home, bumping into other elder corydoras along the way. Hope they’ll be able to adapt and strive in the relative warm water.

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 […]

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 […]
