First Cruise Trip
Joined my parents and their friends on a 9-day cruise vacation, my first ever cruise trip. Boarded the Voyager of the Seas in HK on the 8th, headed for Japan’s Hiroshima, Beppu, and Miyazaki for 3 respective daytime land excursions, and returned home in HK early morning today. The joy of exploring the huge ship […]

(Busy) CNY 2016
I was really looking forward to this year’s CNY holiday – reading books, cleaning up my home and studio, plantings, painting, meeting up some old friends, resting and doing some planning for the year ahead… But I’ve done almost none of that and was instead pretty much occupied for most days by family and church […]

Running
Last long practice before the actual half-marathon next Sunday(17th), completed about 19K, longest run thus far! Analyzed my running log since starting my training in mid-Oct., there’s a slight chance I can complete the half-marathon next Sunday if I can continue this upward trend…

Running
Slow, exhausted, but nonetheless thankful that I kept my promise to run 10k today! Note to self: don’t eat too full the night before.

Creative Monday
Wasn’t feeling too well in the morning, partly because of the beer the night before. I noticed that I’m less tolerant of alcohol after recovering from AOSD, should’ve passed the 2nd round of beer, but how often do you get to meet and chat with a good old friend?! Somewhat dragged myself to the studio […]

Hopeless HK Government
The biggest local news this morning was our Government’s Chief Executive’s daughter updating her FB status with a bruised photo claiming that she was beaten by her mother. Police and ambulance arrived at the Government’s House but left without the “victim”. The Chief Executive called for a public press in the afternoon to turn down […]

Day Off
Took a day off because I signed up to attend some seminars at my Alma Mater. The seminars starts at 11am, so I figured today would be a nice day to start a new routine of getting up early. Woke up at around 6:30am, had a light breakfast while reading the news, then I went […]

Running
Ran for the first time since January! Totally out of shape, I could barely finish the ~2.5k run (I actually aimed to run 5k). I think it will take a miracle for me to train up for a half marathon, not to say a full one.

Creative Monday
Couldn’t afford the luxury of a creative day, instead, I was busy juggling among 4 web projects. Tired, too much work with too little time, it’s been a long time since I felt pressure like this. Hope to clear up as much work as I can before my upcoming family trip, it looks like I’ll […]

Tired
Woke up feeling especially exhausted this morning, probably due to the soccer game under heavy rain and then coding pass 3am last night. Sent out my weekly work progress update in the afternoon. My friend seemed particularly impatient and ill-tempered over the phone despite what I considered a hardworking and productive week. Now I hope […]
