Art Therapy
Went to the funeral of Mr. Kot on Sunday evening with my dad and sister. His daughter gave a speech on Mr. Kot’s life on behalf of the family, I was moved and couldn’t control my tears. My empathy towards others seemed to have grown last year since my uncle passed away, I am now […]
Longest Running Practice
Completed my longest practice ever this morning! Ran about 24k, walked for about 10 min at 3/4 of the way and tried taking in a pack of power gel. My energy level seemed to have replenished somewhat as I didn’t feel the hunger towards the end like last week, but the joints on my left […]
(Merry) Christmas
Had dinner at home with my parents last night. Towards the end of dinner, my dad calmly told us that one of his long time friend, an uncle who’s very close to our family, just passed away. My mom and I were a bit shocked even though we knew that he had been battling the […]
Weekly Update
Caught a cold early this week, had been living most of the week with a runny nose and unwanted tiredness. Despite the need to rest more, there were some social meet ups I promised to join the week before: Mon: volunteered for the first time with Lizzie Bee to learn how Art can be applied […]
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 […]
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 […]
Fuzzy Head
Caught a minor cold/flu with a runny nose, clogged ear, and fuzzy head. Couldn’t quite put myself to work with this state of mind, took it easy today and watched some Olympics badminton and continued my reading of Jimmy SPA’s illustrative books. <<Beautiful Solitude>>, another imaginative book by Jimmy SPA. There were a few occasions in […]
Primary School Friend in Town
A primary school friend was in town, it was a good opportunity for me and two other hk-stationed primary school classmates to catchup with him. Couldn’t remember the last time the 4 of us met up, and we were still missing one who’s in Canada now and to whom we could only greet via WhatsApp. It’s always […]
Sick Day
Woke up with a minor sore throat and light fever, decided to take a day off and rest at home. I can’t remember the last time I spent the afternoon at home on a weekday. Managed to read the entire book of Ezra and prepare the ppt for tomorrow’s fellowship while taking a few naps […]
Sickness
Woke up with a high fever of 104 degrees early Friday morning. I whatsapped my family group and my brother downstairs was the first to pick up and soon drove me to the hospital. There was a stream of panicky messages among my siblings in the group all the while my parents were still sleeping. […]
