Street Food
Took my mind off my paper tonight to play some badminton. Afterwards, we stopped by this soccer court in Tsing Yi where a hugh bamboo structure was set up for the traditional Chinese opera. They had this every year when I was living in TY in high school, but I just didn’t expect the tradition […]

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 […]

Chinese New Year 2010
It must have been more than 10 years since I last spent CNY in HK. The atmosphere is definitely more festive and vibrant compared to Toronto. I haven’t seen the restaurants this quiet, my home phone this busy, and my family this happy since returning to HK. Kung Hey Fat Choi!! p.s. Happy Valentine’s Day.

I’m thankful for: A loving family who is patient with me despite my occasional bad attitude Good friends who I can talk to and seek help A healthy body to work and play Freedom to pursue what my heart desires […]

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 […]

Mid-Autumn Festival
It must have been more than 10 years since I last celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with my family. Other than lighting up a few lanterns, it was just an ordinary evening. But it certainly felt special in a warm and peaceful kind of way…

Elim Fellowship
I’ve been feeling this stress/anxiety building up inside me throughout the week. There were a few nights I couldn’t fall sleep until 4 or 5am. This is not like the stress I feel in exam times, and I don’t recall any similar prior experience. It’s beyond my vocabulary to describe what I’m feeling… I felt […]

AGO
I’ve finally visited the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) today! I’ve been wanting to go for ages, but the visit was delayed for fear of the dreadfully long trip to downtown. I’m glad I overcame that fear today. It was a great experience, especially when I was accompanied by a friend who knows so much […]

Week of Gatherings
I had the pleasure to meet up and farewell many of my friends this week. Friends including colleagues from my last 2 workplaces (GS1 Canada, SCI) and from school (UTSC, UW). I’ve even met up with friends from highschool (EHSS) and elementary school (Steelesview PS)! I’m thankful to be always surrounded by friends – friends […]
