Back to School
A gloomy day to kick-start possibly my last academic year. Being part-time, it seems like my schedule will again be quite flexible this year – requiring to complete 2 electives, 1 design project, 1 dissertation, and an IT proficiency test. The most critical and time-consuming part will definitely be the dissertation, but strangely I’m kind […]

WZQ Design Competition
Rushed myself into completing a submission for a design competition before my trip to Australia. I don’t hold too much expectation as this is my first ever entry into a competition of this type, and honestly, I don’t even know if the panel had received my submission as I have yet to receive any feedback […]

Bonsai Terrarium Class
Took an introduction class on bonsai terrarium yesterday. The instructor performed an amazing live demo and created a scenic landscape inside a semi-enclosed glazed apple. Reminded me of hobbyists assembling model ships inside wine bottles. I’ve already reserved a small space next to the miniature stone garden to put into practice what I’ve learned…

School
I was 30 minutes late when I arrived at the main campus. Instead of walking in late to a seminar, I went the opposite way to drop off my book at the library. Then I took a long slow walk along the usual route in the very quiet campus. It was a hot and humid […]

Summer Vacation Starts Today!
Submitted my paper on “Mitigating Air Pollution with Architecture in Hong Kong” today. There were at least 3 months for me to work on it, but I barely did any work until the last two weeks, all the other time were wasted on procrastination. I don’t know why I just can’t get myself to start […]

Air Pollution
When I came home from badminton tonight, my mom told me worryingly to close the windows and turn on the air conditioning before going to bed. The weather isn’t too hot yet, it’s the air pollution! The air pollution index (api) topped off at 500 (severe) today mainly due to the devastating sandstorm from northern […]

Tired
Today’s one of those days when I just don’t feel like doing anything. After departing my friend at the airport, I went home and decided to go down to shoot some hoops, just like the last few weekends. The basketball seemed to be heavier than usual today, and I had my worst shooting record by […]

I’m Healthy Again!!
After a long week of sore throat and “dizziness”, it feels good to be healthy again! Suddenly, food tastes better, mind is clearer, and even badminton games seem more enjoyable! Timing is just right, I need to gear up to work on my research paper and help with my friend’s wedding preparations…

Bauhinia Blakeana
Recently, I started noticing the vivid pink and purple colors dotted all over the streets of HK. It’s the blooming season for the city’s floral emblem. I remember stumbling upon a small park which had tens of Bauhinia trees planted, so I made an effort to visit it again expecting to see something like the […]

Marathon
Finally submitted my assignment last night, I’ve spent much of my time this week working on it. Relief! I chose one of the buildings for the upcoming Shanghai World Expo 2010 as the case study, so the end of the assignment is actually a new beginning for my research of the much anticipated Expo. While […]
