Uncluttering Life
Finally started rolling out a little website project I’ve started more than a month ago, shouldn’t be too long until I can put a close to it. Also renewed a couple of my IDs so that I can happily do some traveling in August as planned. And now that my mother’s home and slowly recovering, […]
GIFT Design Ideas Competition
Started looking into an architecture design competition I enrolled earlier. The competition documents are quite detailed, the requirements on anonymity and confidentiality made the competition seem especially official and fair, and the requirement on deliverables seemed a little intimidating. I imagined this is rather usual for all architecture competitions, but this is my first time […]
A Real Studio?!
I don’t remember for how long and to how many people I’ve been saying that I wanted to rent an industrial unit as a studio/workshop to do some messy work (e.g. painting, soldering, woodworking,…), and I may have just found one today, and possibly for $0 rent too!

I’m really thankful that my self-taught amateurish design was being appreciated by design professionals working in the industry, the award is quite […]

This is my first ever design-related award, thank God for the wonderful surprise. According to the letter, I’m supposed to keep this […]
Earth Hour 2012

I’ve spent quite a bit of time re-designing this personal website while slightly cleaned up the dEEsigners’ website. I’ve also […]
SIGG Bottle Design
Submitted my design for the SIGG bottle design competition just before the deadline. This is probably the first time I enrolled in any kind of open competitions (well, 2nd as I also submitted work for a local competition earlier this month). Not carrying too much hope to win, but I’m loving the experience. Vote for […]
