End of Q1
Many things seem to be ending in March before the start of a new fiscal year. I asked a friend out for lunch on Monday at my primary school friend’s fancy Japanese restaurant in TST because it will be closing in coming weeks. While being outside away from my usual locality, I decided to venture […]

Meetups and Farewells
Except for Tuesday, I had been meeting up friends every weekday this past week! After returning to HK for 2 months, I finally contacted and met up with a friend’s friend on Monday to help deliver a gift from Canada. It was nice to meet and chat with a fellow Canadian and UW alumni. Farewelled […]

Back to Work
Still haven’t fully unpacked my luggage from the 3-month co-op term. And I caught a flu not long after returning. With a bit of reluctance, I made my way back to the studio on Monday as planned prior to the trip. Almost every thing at the studio seemed exactly the same as when I left […]

Gatherings…
It was another week of prototyping on weekdays and gatherings on weekend. Joined my friend’s fellowship Christmas party on Friday evening, around 100 b&s attended, felt a bit overwhelmed. Had a gathering with uni friends on Sat. afternoon. I started giving out some of the geometric STEAM kit prototypes to friends’ kids to test them […]

One Month Left
Been back to Canada for 2 months, now left with just 1 month before returning to HK. In the past week or so, I had been experimenting with a few materials (bamboo skewers, straws, etc.) to prototype some products I had been dreaming up for a long time. Found the perfect sustainable material for my […]

Time Flies
Seems like yesterday when I just arrived Toronto for this Q4 break. In fact, I’ve arrived here a full month already, that’s one third of this self-directed “co-op” term. So far I had completed a marathon and a personal calligraphy website project. Looked briefly into casual/part-time jobs, that made me more determined to start a […]

3rd Marathon
First mission accomplished for the Q4 break away from the studio! I was seriously lacking practice for the marathon due to the past extremely hot and wet summer that prohibited many of my planned training. I was also unprepared. I entered the race with only 1 gel pack to replenish my energy during the long […]

Meetups and Work
Had 6 meetup meals this past week, 3 of which with my parents, 1 with my calligraphy class, 1 with my fellowship b&s, and a spontaneous one with a couple of old UW friends whom I haven’t met for years! As much as I enjoyed meeting and catching up with family and friends, I started […]

Extreme Weather
Was planning to make up for the half-marathon run that was deterred by typhoon Saola last week, but it was once again forced to cancel due to rain this week. I asked my calligraphy teacher to start half-an-hour early on Thur. evening so that I can leave early for my scheduled half-marathon run. Light rain […]

Back to Normal
Have had a considerably productive week at the studio. Finished setting up a new 3D printer and had been testing it nonstop. Took the opportunity to assess my inventory of 3DP filaments and printed out many DEXTER minifigs – my studio’s mascot. Also finished prototyping some scout minifigs and shown them to a potential client. […]
