Hospital Visit
Before leaving home for my calligraphy class in the morning, my dad told me that my uncle was admitted to the hospital. I decided to join my parents to visit my uncle after class. According to my aunt, my uncle’s condition was really bad on the weekend and she had to call the ambulance to […]

Visiting Uncle
My family insisted on visiting my uncle at his home this afternoon even though he was reluctant to see people after his liver cancer relapsed. Joined by a couple of our relatives from Mainland, there were a total of 9 people visiting! At my uncle’s home, my young nieces from Toronto were kept busy playing […]

Date?
I wasn’t lying when I told my old UW fellowship b/s last night that I have a “target” from my church. Indeed, it just so happened that I invited her to go see an art exhibition with me this afternoon. If dating is simply defined as going out with someone you like and get to […]

Starving for Art
I felt a sudden urge to do art recently. I think it all started on the Sunday morning when I arrived early at JCCAC before the craft fair. I arrived there after Sunday service, with a couple of idle hours before the start of fair, I slowly strolled around the quiet building. Passed by many […]

Solemn Sunday
Reciting the Lord’s Prayer “… Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…” at Sunday service today seemed particularly meaningful. Today is Election Day for HK’s Legislative Council, and I really do pray and hope that God would pour His grace and mercy upon our city and its people. […]

A Week of Fiery News
The major local news headline this week was about an industrial building not far from my studio that caught fire. Battling the fire was extremely difficult because the building was used as a mini storage facility that seemed to the firefighters like a maze cluttered with uncountable boxes of unknown personal objects. The fire burned […]

Cartooning
Out of the blue, I decided to go on a cartooning streak and completed 5 cartoons in 5 days. I was experimenting with the idea of doing cartooning full time – sitting in front of the drawing board and picking my brain to produce one piece of cartoon day in and day out… I now […]

Feeling Low
Planned to do a big cleanup of my studio last week, got started but didn’t go too far. Feeling a little sluggish and lack of motivation lately, not entirely sure why. On the local news today was another youngster committing suicide, ramping up to a bit short of 20 cases since the start of the […]

Monday Artist
I want to be a Monday Artist, dedicating one day each week to learn, practice, be inspired, and simply enjoy Art! It’s like playing the 6th player on a basketball team, always kept in shape, warmed up, and ready to contribute to the team while the key players rest. It’s a bit of a luxury […]
