Location: Tokyo, Japan.
It's been another whirlwind couple of weeks here in Tokyo! My partner treated himself to a wonderful haircut and head spa experience in Shibuya, while I indulged in a delicious Chinese-Japanese pork liver and vegetable dish at Choraku. The contrasting activities really encapsulate the vibrant diversity of this city.
I'm also continuing my deep dive into the art of ikebana under the guidance of a true master. This time, the focus has been on using water as an integral element of the compositions...

Location: Tokyo, Japan
This past couple of weeks have been a true joy - I've been immersing myself in the ancient art of ikebana under the tutelage of a Sogetsu master in Tokyo. There's something so captivating about creating these miniature floral worlds, delicately arranging the textures and lines of different plant materials within small vessels. I've been learning specialized techniques like the jumonji-dome and jika-dome, which require real skill to intersect the elements in a way that enhances the overall balance and stability. And the pure joy of working...

I'm getting ready to leave Hong Kong for a few months and stay in Tokyo for two months. Before I go, I've taken care of some important things like renewing our broadband and rental agreements in Hong Kong for another two years because we'll definitely be coming back.
I need to get some Japanese cash since some shops in Japan prefer cash over contactless credit cards. A friend recommended...

Location: Da Nang,Vietnam and Hong Kong
In June of 2024, I had the opportunity to travel to the vibrant city of Da Nang, Vietnam, for a remarkable 1-week adventure. The weather was truly sweltering, with the temperature soaring to around 40 degrees Celsius every single day. As I stepped out onto the streets, the heat would instantly cause me to start perspiring, and I found myself craving the refreshing embrace of cold iced coffee, which became a daily ritual.
My days in Da Nang were filled...

Team dinner with my new boss for the first time in person. During the meal, trying so hard to curry favour with the boss and his lady. I welcomed them with enthusiasm that bordered on toadying. I have no shame.

One of the differences between Hong Kong and China is that there's a week-long holiday in China while I am working my ass off in Hong Kong and get 1 day off in the middle of the week for the Labour Day Celebration.
I have to treasure the moment. Been trying to declutter my house, I’ve been cleaning and giving away stuff for the whole week. Hope there are people who find my stuff useful and give them a longer life of use.

I organised 2 Horticultural Therapy sessions this week. One is 土種蕃薯葉 Sweet Potato Leaves Planting. By placing the sweet potato under a dry and hot place for a few weeks, they started to sprout, teaching the classmates to keep the bottom of the tuber submerged in water or soil. It can take a few weeks or even a month before you see green growth sprouting from the top of the tuber. The individual shoots that sprout from the tuber are known as "slips," and these th...
