New Home & (Lunar) New Year
Took me about a week to move in to my new place after its closing. It could have been sooner, but I didn’t want to move in before installing internet at the new place. Though I have restrained myself from buying many things during the 2.5 months of living in the short-term rental, it still […]

Holiday Meetups
Had a few more meetups with friends in the first week of 2025. Happy to see everyone staying healthy and well. I’m now more or less settled in TO – got an old car from a childhood friend, made deposits to a condo unit that should be ready for me to move in in a […]

One Month
It has been just over a month since I returned to TO. So far I had settled in a temporary condo rental and quickly had a mini design studio set up, bought a very old car from a childhood friend, seen over 30 condo units and just nearly bought one last week! Made considerable progress […]

Got My Ride
One of my biggest accomplishments this past week was getting many issues related to my borrowed car resolved. Got the garage remote from my landlord on Monday morning. Got the car’s safety inspection done on Thursday. And it was only after completing the safety inspection and talking to the friend who lent me the car […]

It’s DONE!!
Last week in HK was super hectic. Had a friend visiting the studio on Monday to pick up some old boxes for reuse. That was followed by a small farewell gathering of eco-conscious friends. My brother’s friend who is visiting town stopped by my studio for a visit on Tuesday afternoon, had a quick coffee […]

A week had gone by swiftly and exhaustively and I’m now left with less than 5 days in the city.! Except for Saturday, I had been meeting and farewelling family and friends every single day, sometimes even more than one meetups in one day! And many things at work and at home are still unfinished.

12 Days Left 😖
Starting to feel the pressure for my upcoming return to Canada. There are still so many things to finish up for work and for my family. And also there are still many people I need to properly say farewell to before I can leave in peace. Just 12 days left now! This past week I […]

Count Down Begins
Thanks to a property agent friend, I finally settled on a short term rental in Canada. Immediately booked my one-way flight back to TO in mid-November. Now the countdown begins with roughly 20 days left to finish up all studio projects and properly farewell all my friends before I leave the city. Met my woodworking […]

Farewells Have Begun
Though I still don’t know the exact date for my return to Canada, I have started organizing farewell meetups with friends. Some friends are out of town and will return in coming weeks. Good thing I had to postpone my trip again due to my sister’s upcoming trip later this week. With a couple of […]

Still Prototyping…
A former client approached me to scale up a custom minifig I made for him about a year ago. I kinda got carried away and scaled up the LEGO minifig up to 10 times! At the other end of the scale, I started experimenting with a smaller 0.2 mm nozzle and successfully shrunk down DEXTER […]
