2 Months
Passed the 2 months mark of my return to Canada. Having a little time to spare before the closing day of my permanent residence, I finally picked up my calligraphy hobby again. Rushed to write about 20 fai-chuns and had them sent off to my family in HK immediately. Hopefully they’ll receive them before LNY. […]

New Year 2025 🎉
Returned to TO for one and a half month now. Things are more or less settled now that I had finally found a permanent residence and made the deposit just before the start of the holidays. We had been to showings of about 40 condo units, it was a relief to finally found one with […]

One Month
It has been just over a month since I returned to TO. So far I had settled in a temporary condo rental and quickly had a mini design studio set up, bought a very old car from a childhood friend, seen over 30 condo units and just nearly bought one last week! Made considerable progress […]

Two Weeks
Just a bit over two weeks had passed since I returned to TO. With the help of many friends here, I had quickly settled in. I had quickly set up a mini studio in the condo after one week and had started working on some 3DP projects remotely in the second week. All this was […]

It’s DONE!!
Last week in HK was super hectic. Had a friend visiting the studio on Monday to pick up some old boxes for reuse. That was followed by a small farewell gathering of eco-conscious friends. My brother’s friend who is visiting town stopped by my studio for a visit on Tuesday afternoon, had a quick coffee […]

Now the countdown begins with roughly 20 days left to finish up all studio projects and properly farewell all my friends before I leave the city. Met my woodworking […]

Super Busy Week
Had a crazy busy week. Needed to go to my parents’ place for dinner on Monday to makeup for the missed usual one the night before due to my alcohol overdose episode. Had to meet up my plastic recycling friend in Kwai Chung on Wednesday to pass them my filament making machine and give them […]

More Farewells
Hastily finished up an experimental project with 3D printing movable type characters. Successfully printed the functional “stamps” as small as 28pt using a smaller 0.2 nozzle. Happily met up my studio neighbor, an old printing company that still has a huge archive of antique movable type characters, to show them the prototypes and also to […]

Still Prototyping…
A former client approached me to scale up a custom minifig I made for him about a year ago. I kinda got carried away and scaled up the LEGO minifig up to 10 times! At the other end of the scale, I started experimenting with a smaller 0.2 mm nozzle and successfully shrunk down DEXTER […]

Before I Go Back to Canada…
Finished off my PP (Plant pots & Polypropylene) recycling project with more 3D printing tests and one last IG post. Cleaned up the studio mess resulting from the project and packed up many empty spools to pass to a friend who will hopefully be able to make many spools of recycled plastic filaments after I […]
