I’m Healthy Again!!
After a long week of sore throat and “dizziness”, it feels good to be healthy again! Suddenly, food tastes better, mind is clearer, and even badminton games seem more enjoyable! Timing is just right, I need to gear up to work on my research paper and help with my friend’s wedding preparations…

Bauhinia Blakeana
Recently, I started noticing the vivid pink and purple colors dotted all over the streets of HK. It’s the blooming season for the city’s floral emblem. I remember stumbling upon a small park which had tens of Bauhinia trees planted, so I made an effort to visit it again expecting to see something like the […]

Marathon
Finally submitted my assignment last night, I’ve spent much of my time this week working on it. Relief! I chose one of the buildings for the upcoming Shanghai World Expo 2010 as the case study, so the end of the assignment is actually a new beginning for my research of the much anticipated Expo. While […]

Chinese New Year 2010
It must have been more than 10 years since I last spent CNY in HK. The atmosphere is definitely more festive and vibrant compared to Toronto. I haven’t seen the restaurants this quiet, my home phone this busy, and my family this happy since returning to HK. Kung Hey Fat Choi!! p.s. Happy Valentine’s Day.

I don’t like the idea of electrical indoor air purifier. Since most electricity is generated from burning coal, those devices […]

Sustainable Energy – without the hot air

Looking at some of the graphs from the book, I realized that I’m now living more sustainably in HK compared to Canada. This is an unintended good thing. It kind […]

Corrugated Cardboard
I’ve spent much of the last few days cutting up cardboard! My mom must have thought that I was going insane or something. =) With a little spare time after the busy January, I decided to transform all the corrugated cardboard I’ve saved up from my lair’s furnishings into something useful, things like document holders […]

Fotanian Open Studios 2010
The dark streets, the industrial buildings, and the smell of machinery gave me a bit of a Déjà Vu this afternoon when I was aimlessly visiting the different open studios of Fotanian. I remember when I was young, my parents would occasionally bring me to their industrial flats because there was no one to look […]
