First Day of Work
I’ve unofficially set this day as my first day of work, and like my previous jobs, the first duty is usually setting up my workstation. I’ve archived some of my emails and freelance projects, backed up everything, cleaned my desktop and gave it a facelift. EVE is now ready for some real good works! “For […]
Archiving Websites
Was thinking about finally starting our first dEEsigners’ project yesterday. Looked into my web host and realized everything was all out of place. Started organizing my files and found a couple of flash websites I created over the past, but the video clips don’t seem to work anymore and I just don’t want to spend […]
Extremely Hot Week
Hot weather warning had been issued every single day this week! Didn’t seem to be sleeping too well for the last few nights even though I turned on A/C, and I felt as though I was suffering from a persistent light fever during the day. Checked the climate data of HK, and there’s a good […]
Living Things @Home
Took an inventory of the flora and fauna I have acquired since returning to HK. There are 30+ pots of plants (mainly succulents and cacti) and an aquarium with 6 corydoras, 7 neon tetras, 10+ cherry shrimps, 6+ assassin snails, and lots of aquatic vegetation. I can honestly claim that I’m making good use of […]
End of CNY
The spirit of Chinese New Year has slowly faded away. The festive pink, red, and gold ornaments dressing the city are quickly disappearing, gesturing goodbye to the most vibrant holiday of the year; I peeled off the greetings outside my studio door and counted my red pockets, wondering what the Year of the Rabbit will […]
Receipts
I have the habit of saving the receipts of my purchases. Within a year or so, the collection is more than enough to create a huge stuffed origami ball! The ball will serve as a self-reminder to move away from the materialistic lifestyle, and to only buy things that I need and not things that […]
WZQ Design Competition
Rushed myself into completing a submission for a design competition before my trip to Australia. I don’t hold too much expectation as this is my first ever entry into a competition of this type, and honestly, I don’t even know if the panel had received my submission as I have yet to receive any feedback […]
Shanghai Expo 2010
Been back from Shanghai for a few weeks already, it’s about time I finish organizing the photos and archive this project before I move on to a new one. Despite the crazy long line-ups and the rudeness of our mainland people (just a difference in culture I would say), the 3.5 days I spent at […]
Best Man
One inevitably feels honored when being asked to be the Best Man for his friend’s wedding, but I was a bit reluctant at first because I don’t really like attracting attention and have a natural tendency to shy away from the spotlight. But after everything about the wedding is completed tonight, I’m glad that I […]
Changchun Library Design
I’ve missed Sunday service, skipped my first class (it’s actually an optional workshop), missed my regular Sunday dim-sum with my family, and failed to attend a wedding I was initially thinking about going. I’ve even refrained from playing with my adorable little nephew when he came knocking every morning throughout last week. I can be […]
