CNY Holiday
The CNY has come and gone, I’m thankful for the opportunity to meetup with many friends, the gatherings were so packed that it was almost as though I was making up for the solitary time during my month-long sickness in Dec. & Jan. I was a bit reluctant to let the holiday pass, so I […]

Valentine’s Day
Spent the Valentine’s Day in the studio listening to TED Talks while cutting cardboards. Cutting cardboards because I’m in the process of designing and fabricating my first piece of furniture. There was solitude in the simple and repetitive work, I imagined that Jesus might had this similar feeling when he was serving as a carpenter. […]

New Year’s Eve
Couldn’t join my fellowship’s hotpot at night because I’m still on medication and my doctor advised me not to join gatherings with many people. It has been like a month since I last joined fellowship, sure hope I’ll be able to recover fully and join again soon. Tonight’s another one of those times when I […]

Christmas 2014
Didn’t join the Christmas service at church this year because the doctor advised me to avoid crowds while I’m still continuing the medication. Instead, we had the rare occasion to meet up our uncle and aunt for dim sum. They had been battling with some serious illness in recent years, it was good to see […]

Home Sweet Home!
Having spent 12 days at the hospital, it feels especially good to be home again! Thank you again for all your prayers and kind messages. Found a little info about my illness – Adult-onset Still’s Disease (AOSD, http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/adult-onset-stills-disease). The very rare disease is without a known cause nor is it preventable. It’s not infectious either, […]

Adult-onset Still’s Disease (AOSD)
Entered the hospital on Sunday because of prolonged high fever, and I have been staying here since then. This is actually the first time I’ve been hospitalized. After numerous tests, it seems there’s a very high chance that I am suffering from a very rare disease called Adult-onset Still’s Disease (AOSD). There’s short episodic high […]

Day 11
Left work slightly early to visit the peaceful rally in Admiralty. I was there also to hopefully observe and photograph the lunar eclipse for the first time, unfortunately it was a cloudy night and the moon was veiled most of the time. The more I visit the Government Headquarter the more I seem to love […]

Day 9
Visited the controversial occupied area in Mong Kok after my painting class… In contrast to last Monday where there was no single police in sight, a lot more police force was on duty tonight in the occupied area. Despite the chain of violent events from “opponents” and the urge from Government and many honoured people […]

Student Protest Livestream
Staying up late watching the livestream(http://bit.ly/occupycentral) of the last day of students’ week-long “Boycotting Class for Democracy”. Kind of wished I was there to support the students. But what possibly can I do even if I’m there physically? Praying for serenity and courage, peace and justice… p.s. Last time I stayed up to watch something […]

A Reflection on Media
A lot of things happened this past week – McD openly lied about their food source, a couple of planes crashed, one of the biggest online news media closed down, and all the while the war in the Middle East grew fierce. With the internet media, news seems immediate and restlessly grabbing our attention. Our […]
