Monday Without Painting
It’s been a long time since I had a Monday without the weekly painting class, the first class for the new course will start next Monday. Spent most of the day to catch up my reading on an online architecture/design blog. Also spent a little time to rest and to read the bible, came across […]

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 (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 […]

Lunch with Friend
Went out to have lunch with a good old friend and his wife. I’ve known this friend since primary school, he’s probably one of the “oldest” friends I still keep in touch with. We used to meet up at least once a month, but had been a bit busy (both for him and I) in […]

Went to my frequently-visited website and found more information about the now world-famous architect. This is what he said when notified of the award “… I suddenly realized that I’ve […]

Convocation
It was a wonderful sunny day for an outdoor convocation! My mother decided the last minute to join my father and sister to witness the big day, though I didn’t mention it out loud, I really was glad that she was there. Studying green architecture for the last 2 years had been a wonderful experience, […]

Graduation Gown
Went back to school to pick up my graduation gown. I would probably be more proud of myself if I worked harder and received a higher GPA, feeling a bit regretful. Nonetheless, I’m thankful for having the opportunity to learn a subject that highly interests me and was able to make it all the way […]

dEEsigners’ Headquarter
Took me about a week to design a 3D model of our new dEEsigners’ Headquarter. Incorporated into it some of the environmental design strategies I’ve learnt through school, guess it wasn’t a complete waste of time and money to pursue my last M. Sc. degree… Next step is to furnish our new office and arrange […]

2 Year Anniversary
It’s been 2 years since I moved back to HK, time for a little reflection… One of the biggest accomplishments over the last 2 years is the completion of my MSc. degree in Sustainable and Environmental Design. Read quite a lot of books and had learned a great deal in the subject of Architecture. I […]

Had been asked many times whether I’m sure about not pursuing further studies, I can honestly say I’m definitely through with formal learning after 2 […]
