Paycheck
Finally received the first installment of the website project I’m currently working on, it’s been a long time since I’ve received any formal income!

35th Birthday
Gave myself a day-off and visited the Studio Ghibli Layout Designs exhibition in the afternoon. It was amazing seeing the thousands of sketches from the many familiar animated films I had watched over the past, I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to produce a couple of hours of animation. Had dinner […]

The reason that I could do graffiti is that I’ve finally found a dirty and under-utilized industrial flat as studio space! I plan to set up a […]

Furthermore, I’m starting to enjoy my run a little more, before it was mostly just training and hardship. Perhaps it is the extra endorphin production induced by exercising, or maybe I’m […]

Running

Speed was a little slow, but I can work on that later after I’m able to reach the targeted half-marathon distance. On my walk home, I thought about what was said about achieving your dreams from my previous devotional plan. If […]

New Bible
Finished my 365-day devotional plan this morning! Subscribing to digital devotional plans like this really motivates one to do their daily devotions, and at the rare occasion of skipping a day or two, one can easily catch up from where they left off. Rather than subscribing to a new digital devotional plan, I decided to […]
