Wang Shu
Read on the newspaper this morning that the 2012 Pritzker Prize was awarded for the first time to a (native) Chinese architect – Wang Shu. 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 […]

Work and Play
Did a fair bit of freelance work today. Happy that I was finally contacted about a leaflet design freelance project I worked on before Christmas, I was starting to worry that my work would just go down the drain without being paid. Hope is alive once again! Played some soccer on a chilly rainy night, […]

Tiredness
Didn’t sleep too well for the last couple of nights. Actually woke up from a vivid nightmare last night, haven’t had one of those dreams for awhile. Feeling a bit tired this weekend… Looking back this week, I’ve put in a bit over 19 hours to my freelance work, much less than a regular 40-hour […]

Freelancing
Worked for a bit over 6 hours today, my hardest working day thus far this week. It’s been a long time since I last immersed myself in codes, can’t help but recall my days as a software developer, the major difference being now I don’t have a friend working by my side. Miss having friends […]

Red Pockets
It was almost impossible to work in my home studio in the late afternoon because of the westerly sun, so I took a break and opened my red pockets that were collected during the CNY holiday. Looked at some of the new bill designs and noticed that Braille was incorporated, nice to see designs that […]

Skimmed through a recruitment newsletter, and after looking at the job postings, I was reassured that […]

<<越扭越有計>>
The kids were out visiting their grandparents the whole day, and I was alone in the house with nothing to do. It was a bit too hot to go outside, and I thought about doing some work for my freelancing, but ended up persuading myself to wait for the kids to move back to their […]

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 […]

Painting
Ventured into painting in the last few days, still haven’t quite got the hang of it. But I’ll have to put the little hobby aside and get serious with my freelance work once again now that the kids in the house are off to Canada for their summer vacation. No more excuses to slack off […]

Busy January
January was the busiest month since I returned to HK. On top of school and an extra AutoCAD course on the side, I took up my first freelance project. I don’t really mind being busy, for it keeps me productive, but whether it’s meaningful is another question. Hopefully, I’ll have more time in February to […]
