LEGO Minifigs
My studio neighbour stopped by on Mon. and talked about a project that needed to make figurines for a diorama display. After some discussions, he decided to make custom Lego minifigs.

Tired Week
My sister’s family is visiting town, but I felt like I had seen enough of them already in Toronto last summer. My sister in HK and my mom had dinner with them separately, I declined the invitations and kept myself busy with work. Finished re-engineering my studio’s mascot, DEXTER, to use a more flexible frame […]

Hot, Busy, and Active Week
The hot weather warning seemed to be hoisted day and night nonstop for the entire week this past week. Read a news snippet about a pro-democracy member who’s still under detention (no air-con) and felt too drained to even pick up a pen to write letters. I empathize with the many ppl who are persecuted […]

Back On Track
After a bit of struggling with my own will power, and when I was just about to leave home for my second weekly running practice yesterday evening, my Fitbit watch couldn’t be turned on. I didn’t want to run my planned 10K practice without the watch to track my time and heart rate, so I […]

Hiccups
After making good progress last week on my Q2 goals, this week was met with many hiccups. Even with many morning efforts, my weekly calligraphy goals was still 12 short of my weekly 100 characters goal. Studio work was met with some unknown 3DP hiccups which I’ll need to troubleshoot this coming week. Running practice […]

Picked up my order of handcrafted paper yesterday, will try to setup an online store to offer my calligraphy works in coming weeks. The calligraphy work, which I still […]

World Cup
The final game for World Cup was a super exciting one! I was watching it at a neighborhood study/co-working space with mostly strangers whom I had never met before. There were about 10 of us watching the game, but the atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, much better than if I were to watch the game […]

Back To Normal
After an unusual week filled with meetups with family and friends and a daily schedule that was skewed by the World Cup, this past week was back to normal. No social meetups occurred this past week other than my regular Chinese calligraphy class on Thursday. The only gathering that was scheduled for Sat. afternoon with […]

Another Packed Week
The past week was a packed but not as tiring week. Mon – a fellowship brother visited the studio after work because he needed some graphic design assistance for his upcoming wedding in Feb. The discussion was brief, but we had dinner together nearby and had a long chat on church, fellowship, and many personal […]
