Clearing Up Projects…
Had been busy clearing up some projects at the studio this past week. Completed a small IKEA hack, updated the display of my studio’s mascot, and finally shredded some old plant pots for a recycling project I had been hoping to do many years ago! Haven’t done too much in clearing out my apartment this […]

Shifting Gear…
Finally finished with the redesign of a temporary clothing rack at home to replace the old collapsing one. This new design actually collapsed a few times during assembling, hopefully it will stand for at least a month or so until I move out of the apt and out of the city. Also made considerable progress […]

Drenching Heat
The scorching heat last week had drenched out much of my energy. It was unbearably hot here in HK last summer too, but this year seemed worse. Monday was a public holiday, I turned down my fellowship b&s’ invitation to visit Macau and instead stayed home drenched in sweat and simply wasted the day away. […]

End of Q2
Finished the 4th and last class of the paper-making course on Monday. I can now resume my regular routines on Mondays. I started going to work at the studio early in the morning because I desperately needed AC during the day in this extremely hot weather. Started the long process of cleaning up the messy […]

Plan Postponed
Today is a “sensitive day” according to the local government officials. It’s sad to witness the city deteriorate to a point where people are afraid of merely saying the two numerical digits “64” and commemorating publicly what happened on this day 35 years ago. It feels suffocating to live in a city where we’re constantly […]

Studio Cleanup
The studio’s laser cutter stopped functioning a few weeks back. It just so happens that a couple of artist friends came seeking help for their recent projects that involves laser cutting/engraving. After a few days of troubleshooting the laser with no avail, I decided to buy a cheaper and lower power laser to help my […]

Meetups and Farewells
Except for Tuesday, I had been meeting up friends every weekday this past week! After returning to HK for 2 months, I finally contacted and met up with a friend’s friend on Monday to help deliver a gift from Canada. It was nice to meet and chat with a fellow Canadian and UW alumni. Farewelled […]

LNY 2024
Completed my annual fai-chun writing exercise on Wednesday. Wrote more than 100 fai-chuns this year in total, a personal record. Worked till around 10pm on Thursday because I didn’t want to go back to the studio on Friday. Prepared and brought home all the things I needed to work on the annual 100 postcard fai-chun […]

Another Tiring Week
I was hoping to start the week fresh with the worst of the studio’s sprinkler disaster put behind me, but the incident was actually more difficult to handle than I thought. When I returned to the studio on Monday, my colleague told me that one of the younger neighboring landlord barged in earlier yelling and […]

LEGO Minifigs
My studio neighbour stopped by on Mon. and talked about a project that needed to make figurines for a diorama display. After some discussions, he decided to make custom Lego minifigs. While experimenting and prototyping, I got carried away and shrunk my studio’s mascot into the scale of Lego minifigs. When the custom designed and […]
