Creative Monday
Couldn’t afford the luxury of a creative day, instead, I was busy juggling among 4 web projects. Tired, too much work with too little time, it’s been a long time since I felt pressure like this. Hope to clear up as much work as I can before my upcoming family trip, it looks like I’ll […]

A Reflection on Media
A lot of things happened this past week – McD openly lied about their food source, a couple of planes crashed, one of the biggest online news media closed down, and all the while the war in the Middle East grew fierce. With the internet media, news seems immediate and restlessly grabbing our attention. Our […]

723 Studio
I had imagined many times what the grand opening of my studio would be like – a cozy and joyful celebration with light snacks and drinks to serve family and friends. But I’ve been a bit too busy with work lately that I couldn’t find time to properly prepare for this big day. Instead of […]

Creative Monday
I wish to informally “launch” a potentially long-term endeavor “723 Studio” on Wednesday (July 23rd). With only 2 days and still many scheduled work unfinished, I can only do some “門面功夫”. =) Will try to finish painting the entrance door by Wednesday! Finished the last piece of work of the 3-month painting course at night, […]

Work Saturday
Spent a day in the studio alone, quietly and slowly cleared up some work. Feeling better now that I have a greater outlook on next week’s work schedule. Sometimes the best way to handle work-related stress is just simply to work harder to get it out of the way.

Tired
Woke up feeling especially exhausted this morning, probably due to the soccer game under heavy rain and then coding pass 3am last night. Sent out my weekly work progress update in the afternoon. My friend seemed particularly impatient and ill-tempered over the phone despite what I considered a hardworking and productive week. Now I hope […]

World Cup
Like many others, I carried out my activities a bit like a zombie today. The finale of the World Cup was ended by an awesome goal by Germany, beating Argentina 1:0 near the end of the extended period. It was an exciting match, but I kind of thought that Messi hadn’t put his 100 + […]

World Cup
Suffered an emotional low when my favorite team Brazil got a humiliating (and historic) 7:1 lost a couple of days ago. A game that’s supposed to bring joy and peace to people resulted in buckets of tears instead. I prayed there wouldn’t be a riot. When Argentina played Netherlands in the semi-final this morning, I […]

Tax & Creative Monday
As the saying goes, rain and tax are two things you just can’t avoid in life. Arrived at the studio slightly early this morning to file my annual tax, my very first time in HK. Had been procrastinating for weeks, felt relieved now that I finally got it over with. I’m now ready for a […]
