Bye-bye Q2
After writing out the last character from the book of 1000 Chinese character samples on Mon., a huge relief was immediately felt. The rest of the week was taken relatively lightly as I soak in my greatest achievement of the Q2 projects! Most other Q2 projects will carry on to Q3 untouched 😅. Before getting […]

Post-COVID Plan?
Had dinner at one of the usual restaurants near the studio on Fri. The restaurant owners seemed especially happy seeing me dining-in, they mentioned that it had been 3 years since I last dined in. It felt strange but true, having lived through the long years of pandemic still seemed like a surreal experience. Have […]

Remembering Mr. Kot
Had dinner with my parents, sister and brother-in-law near my studio last night. In our conversations, we shared our memories of late Mr. Kot who passed away on Christmas Eve. Apparently, my dad had known this good friend since 1986, that’s more than 30 years of friendship! As for me, my earliest memory of Mr. […]

Mourning…
Called up my calligraphy teacher to tell him of my absence tomorrow morning; Messaged my fellowship committee to inform them of my absence this Friday evening. I think I could really use some time to mourn of my uncle’s death. I’m still sad (with some regrets too) and easily sobs when I think of the things […]
