A Proper Goodbye
Last time we left Hong Kong, we left in a hurry. No pause. No proper goodbye. So here it is. A proper goodbye to my home, Hong Kong. I miss the cheap, safe convenience. I miss the MTR. The buses. The walking. The need of no driving. Not the taxis so much. I miss the…

2025 On Dec 31st
2025: A year of transition. A year of reckoning. A year where we kept restarting before we could finish. In Jan, I wrapped up my time at Casetify. I rejoined the corporate world in 2024 because the opportunity was intriguing. But 12 months back inside a company forced a tough self realization: what actually matters…

2025 in Life
2025 was the transition year, or the watershed year. Looking at it through the woo-woo 7-year-cycle lens, 2025 was the end of the 7th cycle and the start of the 8th cycle. So if this 7-year thingy is legit, 2025 was a significant year. And it was. I left Casetify in January and returned to…

After A Week Of Reflection
Last week the school organized a biography session for everyone to go through the biography of the school. It was a very valuable experience for the school and for those who participated. I also had many reflections and realizations. I have gained clarity. Sometimes I think I give myself too much credit for my successes.…

All You Have Is Money.
“You’re so poor. All you have is money.” – Kara Swisher These days my focus is less sharp. Most of the time I am spending time driving my kids to school, getting our home set up, and cooking meals. Every now and then I supported our school. Compared to when I was working for Casetify…

UK – 37 Days
I don’t want to reread this and re-experience all the internal whining. True to how reality always unfolds, things are moving forward. We’re in our new place now. It’s nice, spacious, comfortable, and quiet. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen. The rest of the space still feels wasted, though. There’s so much room, and…

UK – Day 19
We finally got our place. It’s well taken care of, though a bit far from civilization. I don’t love the location, but I do like the place, and Sharon likes it too. We’ll need to furnish it. I used to love that process. Not anymore. A lot of that has to do with accepting that…

UK – Week 1.8
It’s been 12 days since we left Hong Kong. The way we moved was far from ideal. We didn’t pack up our home, we just left it. Four suitcases, ten boxes, and Honey, that was all we brought. I wish we had done it differently. I wish we had gone through our things, emptied the…

Same Shit, Repeated.
Sometimes I think we just go through life reminding ourselves of the same shit over and over again. Call your mom. Eat your veggies. Don’t steal. But our brains and souls are so scattered, we need to be reminded of the same shit over and over again. And how things resonate with us, when and…

49
My reflections @ age 48. I have already written a lot about how the world has completely changed for us. I quitted CASETiFY in January. I spent all my time at the school, hoping to get it ready for us to hand it over to the team. Then the church bought our place, and we…
