Spending much of my time these days reading books. Sometimes I feel guilty for leisurely spending my time while most of my peers are working hard to make a living. It seems almost as though I’m slowly building up a debt on finishing up my fair portion of meaningful work on Earth. I could have […]

Read a book on planting green roofs and living walls. It’s just part of the preliminary readings for my proposed independent study. There’s a part of me that is reserved just for plants – succulents, bonsai, and even freshwater species… I remember how much I used to envy the school gardeners for spending their days […]

Mother’s Birthday
It’s mother’s 65th birthday today! We took her to a seafood dinner in “Lee Yu Mun”. As for her birthday gift, we bought her an iPad! Need to set it up and teach her how to use it tomorrow, should be easier than the time I taught her how to use linux on my netbook!

My Home Studio
Little by little, in the course of about a year, I’ve slowly transformed an empty room at home into my studio – the place where I happily spend my 9 to 5. Although there are still many things I want to experiment with the space, I probably won’t be spending too much time on it […]

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 […]

沒有牆的世界
Going through a bit of an emotional low lately, perhaps due to the many arguments I had with my parents. Found my consolation from a TV series in the RTHK archive. It’s a series of stories about people with disabilities (e.g. deaf, mute, blind,…) who managed to cope with and even strive in their everyday […]

Rainy Days
Starring through my studio window, the far mountaintops are barely visible behind layers of slanted rain. This familiar scenery always brings me back to a particular episode when I was in grade 1 or 2 studying at a boarding school in HK. I remember myself sitting in a classroom with my desk close to the […]

Toy Story 3
My sister and brother-in-law decided to take my niece and nephew (from my brother) to watch Toy Story 3 today, and I chose to tag along. I went into the theatre without reading any reviews or watching the trailer beforehand. I don’t remember watching the second episode either. The movie was surprisingly good, I think […]

World Cup 2010
The World Cup 2010 in South Africa has finally ended with Spain winning this most prestigious soccer award. I’m not really much of a soccer fan, but the atmosphere in HK is definitively much more vibrant and infectious compared to Toronto. Although I don’t play much anymore, soccer is still my favorite sport. Started playing […]

Tai Mo Shan
Out of spontaneity, my brother-in-law decided to drive us up Tai Mo Shan after our usual family Sunday dim sum. The limitless blue sky, the fluffy white clouds, and the layers of lush green mountain-tops is a rare treat of paradise in the hustle and bustle of HK. Want to go there again sometime to […]
