Chung Yeung Festival
Parents left home early for Mainland to pay respect to ancestors. I also congested my way through crowds who were heading to the cemetery, but I was just going for a friendly game of soccer nearby. It was rather awkward playing under the strong smell of burning incense, but I had a great time playing […]

Tsing Yi
It’s Chinese National Holiday today. Went back to Tsing Yi to play bball with my highschool friends. This is one of the rare occasions that I went back during the day rather than night to play badminton. With much time to spare after the game, I forgot about my fatigued body and took a long […]

Australia Trip
Came back home from Australia yesterday. It was a delightful and worry-free 7-day vacation with my family. Australia is similar to Canada in many ways, but the country is much more captivating for its diverse landscape and exotic flora and fauna. It would be difficult to forget the experiences of seeing the Great Barrier Reef […]

Design Competition & Family Trip
For the past few days, I’ve been rushing my way into completing a proposal for a design competition held by Wu Zhi Qiao Charitable Foundation. My submission tonight marks my first ever entry into an architectural design competition! Don’t hold much expectation, the research and design process was rewarding enough, and participation was the key […]

Holiday
Today is a holiday for both of the countries that had my residence time split almost equally. It was particularly hot today with extreme UV alert, so I didn’t dare to go outdoors but rather spent much of my time at home reading “The Message”. I’ve also spent some time creating my first colored artwork […]

Shanghai Expo 2010
Been back from Shanghai for a few weeks already, it’s about time I finish organizing the photos and archive this project before I move on to a new one. Despite the crazy long line-ups and the rudeness of our mainland people (just a difference in culture I would say), the 3.5 days I spent at […]

Home Sweet Home
Came back from Shanghai late last night. The Would Expo was not as spectacular as I imagined, perhaps I had too high of an expectation. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience nonetheless, and I did manage to see some awe-inspiring architectures. Glad to be home, it’s through traveling that I realize where home is.

Pre-Expo
All packed up for my trip to Shanghai for the World Expo tomorrow. I don’t seem to be as excited as I used to be after being imbued by the intensive media coverage. Enthusiastic nonetheless as I’ve never been to the World Expo before, and this year’s theme of “Better City, Better Life” will definitely […]

Summer Vacation Starts Today!
Submitted my paper on “Mitigating Air Pollution with Architecture in Hong Kong” today. There were at least 3 months for me to work on it, but I barely did any work until the last two weeks, all the other time were wasted on procrastination. I don’t know why I just can’t get myself to start […]
