Sickness
Had a high fever last night, felt so weak that I couldn’t even seem to move my body. Posted a status update on FB regarding my sickness and had an overwhelming replies of caring messages. I’m thankful for friends and family who cared about me. It’s interesting how sickness makes me numb to the happenings […]

Week Review
This is one of those weeks where badminton, soccer, and bball coincide on the same week, I think this is probably as much physical activity as my body can handle. A lot of other things also happened this week. I finally launched a website I had been working on and off for a few months, […]

Oil Painting Class
Painted my 3rd oil painting today. I’m starting to feel comfortable about this weekly exercise – I know where to put the brushes, the paint, the oil bottle, and I know how to pace myself so that I don’t have to rush through finishing the painting. I find it interesting how these painting classes can […]

Friend’s Wedding
Attended one of the most extravagant but yet least heart-felt wedding tonight. Most extravagant because it was filled with the rich and famous, even the upcoming Chief Executive of the city was there! And least heart-felt because I don’t know any people there other than a high school friend, and I doubt that my friend […]

Payment Received!
Finally received payment for a freelance project I’ve pretty much finished by the end of last year! Still very happy to have received the reward of my labor. A happy moment for a not so diligent freelancer. Told my parents during dinner that I’ll pay for our regular family dim sum this Sunday. I know […]

Oil Painting Class
Picked up my painting from last week, honestly think it looks pretty good for a first attempt, and I was all hyped up thinking I was a natural talent. But after tonight’s class, I’m thinking it may very well just be beginner’s luck that I painted such a nice orange… I had a really hard […]

Mother’s Day
The small orchid I bought my mother last year didn’t last long, so I got her one of the hardiest plant this year – “Mother-in-law’s Tongue”! It was free too as it was branched out from a plant I got 2+ years ago. =) Finished grooming the many plantations in my home studio this weekend, […]

Desktop Plants
Took a stroll around Flower Market this afternoon, the area was busier than usual, probably becoz it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow. Bought 6 different species of succulents to replace the row of unsuccessful plantations on my desk. The previous attempt failed likely because the single species of sedum required more light than what my desk can […]

Cork Shelf Doors
Was late for fellowship tonight as I was caught up with finishing installing the last row of shelf doors in my home studio. Took me a while, but glad that one part of my big studio re-modelling project is finally completed.

Debugging CRM
After doing a little dEEsigners’ work, I helped a friend debug a CRM system he recently took over. I couldn’t help but remember the time I was working for my first job after my bachelor’s degree. It was a small company that makes CRM software for the automotive industry. We were so short of people […]
