Recovered (~90%)
Joined the UW alumni to play some badminton again yesterday. Only 8 players showed up, and with 2 courts booked, there was barely resting time during the 2 hours. Tired, but I felt much better than last week, a good sign of recovery. Can’t say that I’m 100% healed from the bad flu however, the […]

Competition Entry Submitted!

Finally got my design submitted to a competition just before midnight, hours before the deadline! I would never get things done if not for deadlines, the power of […]

Day Off
Took a day off to go see the winning entries of the GIFT Competition. It was nice to see all the marvelous works of local talents, my entry was a bit of a joke in comparison. There was time to spare in the afternoon, I bought some supplies and eagerly went straight to the studio […]

Aftermath Of Competition
Started working from home again since my mother was injured early July. And for the last week or so I even moved in to sleep in my home studio to focus on completing the submission for the architecture design competition. Worked restlessly – there wasn’t a night I slept before 3am, and I even pulled […]

Site Study
Spent a casual afternoon at the HK Science and Technology Park to do a brief study of the site for the architectural design competition. I really like the atmosphere there, it feels just like the huge campus I spent ~8 months in working as a junior researcher for what used to be Canada’s biggest technology […]
