T8 Lion Rock
The city hoisted its first Typhoon 8 signal in 2021 this morning. I had been waiting all day for it to be lifted so I can go back to the studio to finish up some work I left unfinished last night. To my disappointment, Typhoon Lion Rock was unexpectedly strong and T8 was hoisted the […]
First Jab
Took my first of two COVID19 vaccination needles on Friday. The past week seemed to be centred around that single event. Dined out with my parents and sister on Tuesday, they talked me out of submitting a proposal for a small commercial unit at an artsy establishment that previously turned me down. They think I […]
Glimpse of Light
After a full week of gloomy weather, the sun started sneaking out again this week. The hardy white orchid I bought from a CNY market many years back seemed to notice the sun and bloomed beautifully in the light. Received a gift for helping a good family friend’s wedding back in Nov/Dec. Was hoping to […]
Weekly Update
This week flew by rather quickly, here are some highlights… The weekly Monday afternoon volunteering with the elderly was canceled, I decided to go watch a movie (I Can Only Imagine) which turned out to be one of the most inspiring movies I’ve seen for quite some time! Had coffee roasting class in the evening. […]
Day Off
Our family and I visited my aunt for lunch. She reminded us that it’s a month short from the time my uncle passed away last year. This is the first CNY that my aunt celebrated without my uncle, she’s still not at all recovered from sadness and told us that she didn’t walk out of […]
Back to I.T.
Finally getting back to my real profession – website design/programming. For the last few months, I had been indulging myself with designing and printing all sorts of “toys”. The iterative design process was rather time-consuming because the 3D printer is awfully slow, but it was quite enjoyable and addictive. Can’t afford to continue my indulgence […]
Creative Monday
Didn’t do any ink & wash this week, I’ve spent this Creative Monday printing and stamping my family tree instead, it’s creative nonetheless (I think)! =)
Valentine’s Day
Spent the Valentine’s Day in the studio listening to TED Talks while cutting cardboards. Cutting cardboards because I’m in the process of designing and fabricating my first piece of furniture. There was solitude in the simple and repetitive work, I imagined that Jesus might had this similar feeling when he was serving as a carpenter. […]
Creative Monday
Thankful for a no-work Creative Monday. Watched the 3am France vs Honduras game, slept in, it was near lunch time by the time I got back to the studio. Did some 3D printing experimentation in the afternoon before going to my evening painting class. It felt good to be painting again after 2 weeks absence. […]
Creative Monday
Decided at the last minute to skip my painting class in the evening. Shouldn’t be a problem as I’m one class ahead, it might even be better now that I’ll be on the same page with everyone else again. I had a bit of fun with 3D printing today. I downloaded, edited, and then printed […]
