Grave Sweeping
Gloomy day, just the right weather to join my aunt and sister to visit my uncle’s grave. My aunt reminded us that it has been 1 year, 1 month, and x days since my uncle passed away. She still misses uncle a lot, but less so than the last time we saw her, may time […]

Typhoon Hato
Typhoon Hato hit town today, it’s the third time typhoon n0.8 or above was hoisted this year. It’s not difficult to remember because the first time happened on my birthday, the second time on my studio’s birthday, and the third time exactly one month afterwards. I decided to stay home during this crazy weather. The construction site […]

New Year’s Resolutions
It’s mid-Feb and I’ve finally found the time to do a little tidying up of my studio’s desktop and then spend some quiet time planning for the new year ahead. Made some new year’s resolutions (wishes), some work related while the rest are more personal. Most of the resolutions are things I’ve been wanting to do for […]

CNY Holiday Starts
Had been a bit busy before the CNY holiday trying to prototype products to apply for a tiny space to market the studio’s products. The kiosk owner quickly replied saying they were full and could only put me on the waiting list. They also mentioned that there are kiosk spaces in other malls I can apply […]

Busy Work Week
This week was a considerably busy week. Decided last week to apply for a local handcraft fair as an joint “exhibitor” with a friend, and being the last-minute person that I am, I only started working on the application on Monday, 2 days before the application deadline! Rushed into prototyping and photographing products to include in the application, […]

Time
Time, a concept that warrants timeless debates/discussions/contemplations. I’m still not quite completely recovered from my emotional low, the constant depressing news (both locally and globally) seems to have lengthened the recovery process. Rather than pushing myself to recover from the blues with mindless and endless work, I decided to take it slow and use all […]

Back to I.T.
Finally getting back to my real profession – website design/programming. For the last few months, I had been indulging myself with designing and printing all sorts of “toys”. The iterative design process was rather time-consuming because the 3D printer is awfully slow, but it was quite enjoyable and addictive. Can’t afford to continue my indulgence […]

Another Week
I did get more serious with work this week as I promised myself. I migrated the church’s website (DEMO) to their existing web host, completed the change requests for the only web project I have on hand, and mocked up a poster design for church’s upcoming evangelical meeting. I got a little proud and started […]

Studio Cleanup
Spent much of my weekend at the studio. I first dusted off the little illustration/cartooning area and used it to ink and color the illustration for the upcoming fellowship programme card design. I hope to utilize the area more in 2015 and do more illustrations/cartoons on my spare time. I also spent a lot of […]

New Year’s Day
It’s public holiday today, so it seemed especially quiet when I went to the studio in the afternoon. I didn’t do much on the 1st day of 2015 other than slightly improving and printing my to-do/memo/calendar design for January. I also did a little cleaning and organizing of my work desk, preparing myself to start […]
