Reality Check
It was good to be able to spend a little time to do a little soul searching for the past week or so, but can’t afford to dwell in dreamland for too long, it’s time to do a little reality check… It’s not that I’m afraid to pursue my dreams, in fact, I still dream […]

Soul Searching (Dreams)
I still faintly remember the episode when I told my father that I want to be an engineer when I grow up, I was probably in grade 1 or 2 and I was picturing myself designing and building bridges (i.e. a civil engineer). In high school, on the night before receiving my HKCEE results, I […]

Soul Searching (Work Experience)
Counting co-op experiences (internship) and excluding freelancing, I had accumulated about 6-7 years of work experience. With the six 4-month co-op work terms, I was given the opportunity to try out different jobs (researcher, web developer), working in different fields (opto-electronics, software), and for different companies and organizations. I still remember vividly my first work […]

Soul Searching (Education)
A rough calculation shows that I had been in school for ~24 years, that’s more than 2/3 of my life! Been trained to be self-discipline at a very young age when I attended boarding school in grade 1, and my family never really had to worry about my academics since then. Frankly not a smart […]

Soul Searching (Hong Kong)
Parents had a dinner gathering to attend, I spontaneously decided to buy some takeout and eat by the Victoria Harbour at TST. It was the annual WWF Earth Hour, saw the lights across the harbour being turned off and back on again, the HK’s skyline definitely looks much better without the ugly blinding signages! Spent […]

Soul Searching (Friends)
With the power of FB, adding a “friend” is only one click away, but can you really trust that “friend”? Personally, I don’t add friends I’ve never met in person before. I seem to be checking up on my FB less and less these days, still prefer to meet up friends in person. I don’t […]

Soul Searching (Family)
Told my parents over dinner about how I wish to shift away from freelancing and focus on starting some serious work, they seemed supportive of my decision. Ever since I cleared up my freelance work and revealed my unclear future career plan to my family, they had been offering me advices/assistance – my brother forwarded […]

Soul Searching (Art)
Finished my first painting for the current oil painting course, not too satisfied, but I don’t seem to care as much now. I’m still very much enjoying the process – the weekly 2-hour worry-free and quiet time with just me and the canvas. With the power of FB, I stumbled upon the info of one […]
