(Happy) New Year 2018
Slept early last night, briefly woke up at midnight by noisy fireworks and neighbours’ celebrations. I could never understand why the HK Government constantly pour so much money in ephemeral and polluting firecrackers while so many of its citizens are struggling to make ends meet in this economically polarised city. I actually slept pretty well […]

(Merry) Christmas
Had dinner at home with my parents last night. Towards the end of dinner, my dad calmly told us that one of his long time friend, an uncle who’s very close to our family, just passed away. My mom and I were a bit shocked even though we knew that he had been battling the […]

A Blessed Trip
Been back to HK for 5 days, still a little jet-lagging, woke up at around 5am this morning even though I was able to stay awake past midnight before sleep. Life slowly getting back to normal in HK, but still very much reminiscing of my month-long blessed trip in Canada. Looking back on the trip, […]

Art Residency
Besides meeting up friends and running the half-marathon, one of the things I did during the long vacation is paint, something I haven’t done for about 2 years. Within days of arriving Canada, I quickly setup a mini studio in my sister’s basement among my nieces’ swing and trampoline set. I experimented with acrylic paint, […]

Week of Meetups
Met up with my old fellowship b/s for dinner last night. Other than meeting some new kids, every b/s seemed more or less the same as 6+ years ago. Though the small fellowship hasn’t really grown over the last few years, and some b/s had switched churches or even stopped going to fellowship, our relationships […]

Last Running Practice
Had my last running practice this morning before the half-marathon on Sunday. Ran 10K, took just a little over 60min, a personal record! Have been disciplined enough to regularly practice while vacationing. Practiced about 5 times, but doubt that it’s enough for the coming half-marathon, will try my best and enjoy the run on Sunday!

Procrastination Before Vacation
In preparation for my upcoming long vacation, I have been procrastinating in the last couple of weeks trying to get things done so that I could have a worry-free break. Managed to finish up work and head home for mid-autumn dinner with my parents tonight. Rested a little and napped a couple of hours before […]

Goodbye 2017 Q1
Almost forgot it’s public holiday today. I went back to the studio as usual after my weekly calligraphy class. The studio seemed particularly quiet, I took some time to fold up 3 months of daily to-do lists. Much of the goals I’ve set up for this quarter was left untouched. Where has the time gone? […]
