Soccer Night
It has been weeks since I last played soccer, actually thought about skipping tonight but joined because there were not enough players. I was thinking about having dinner at home because I was out last night for badminton, and I won’t be home for dinner tomorrow and the weekend due to fellowship and friends’ gatherings. […]

Creative Monday
Started a new painting during class tonight, it’s not just another painting, it’s a new type of painting – this is the first landscape painting I’m attempting, a little departure from the usual painting of “objects”. I caught a slight cold last week, wasn’t serious, but energy level had been rather low because of it. […]

Aftermath Of Competition
Started working from home again since my mother was injured early July. And for the last week or so I even moved in to sleep in my home studio to focus on completing the submission for the architecture design competition. Worked restlessly – there wasn’t a night I slept before 3am, and I even pulled […]

Mother Returned Home
After more than a week, mother was finally discharged from the hospital this afternoon, I can tell from her gestures that she was really eager to get home. She’s still not fully recovered and cannot sit or standup for a prolonged period of time, but I feel really relieved just seeing her home and be […]

An Unusal Week
I’m a rather habitual person, so it felt a little uncomfortable when my daily routine got out of wack since my mother’s accident on Monday. Instead of going to the office, I decided to work from home again since it’s much closer to the hospital, very little got done however. Visited my mother at the […]

Mother’s Chinese Name
Visited mother at the hospital despite being told by her every time not to do so. I’m sure she liked seeing us despite what she says, wouldn’t life be so much simpler if women speaks their mind?! On the sign above her bed that used to say my mother must lie in bed was an […]

Running
Missed my weekly running session for the past weekend due to friends’ gatherings, the running bug was itching, so I went for an early evening jog tonight. Ran 10k, for some reason, breathing seemed particularly difficult and I seemed to be a bit more tired than usual tonight. It seemed like an appropriate time to […]

Mother Hospitalized
Mother injured her spine falling off a chair, she was trying to put away some of my winter clothes. The first thing that came up my mind was to scold at her for I’ve told her a million times that I’m capable of tidying up my own rooms. Thank God that I was able to […]

Uncle’s Operation
Uncle had an operation tonight to have some of his liver’s cancerous tissues removed, I joined my sister to visit him at the hospital. We arrived at around 8pm, but the operation wasn’t finished until ~10pm (it was a ~5-hour operation). During the 2-hour wait outside the operation room, I silently observed many patients being […]

Sick and Tired
It’s been a long time since I last used the phrase “sick and tired”, but it seems to describe perfectly how I’m feeling in the last few days. I woke up on Friday feeling a little sick, had a light fever of 99.x degrees and decided to skip fellowship that night (for the first time […]
