In preparing for this long Easter holiday weekend, I rushed into finishing my first prototype of a Shigeru-Ban-inspired papertube furniture in the studio. Also went for a haircut, first cut in more than 6 months I think. My weekly community running clinic also ended just before the holidays. The studio’s building was cutting electricity for the weekend for maintenance, so I was forced to stay out of work.

Finally met and caught up with a few old friends on Saturday, it marked the first time I crossed over to the HK Island side in more than 6 months! It’s good to be socializing again now that the pandemic numbers are down, but I’m still somewhat uncomfortable being in the holiday crowd, so I stayed home for the entire Sunday and Monday. Sunday was spent building a Gundam model and Monday was spent reading and writing letters to the many Hongkongers who have been unreasonably detained or imprisoned for political reasons.

I decided to stay at my parents’ place again during the weekend now that my nephew had ceased to occupy my holiday abode. My parents were happy to have me back and I was glad to be spending more time with them once again.
