My first EV (I love you)
Since May 2025, when I first began looking into cars before our move to the UK, I had my eyes on the i3. This was very typical of me—I was attracted to something quite impractical, a bit off, and irrational. I was like this with my first car, when I chose the Golf Cabriolet. It…

On the Eve of Fundraising Gala 2026
I re-read what I wrote after last year’s concert. This time around, I am not in HK to attend it. Nor is there, so it is going to be good. But so much has happened, and I have hardly had the time or focus to write about everything. The school feels like it’s crumbling. It’s…

Bad Service & Maintenance
There are two books I want to read: Bad Services: How to Fix Services That Don’t Work by Lou Downe and Maintenance of Everything: Part One by Stewart Brand. Just thinking about reading these books makes me feel less anxious. I realise that my anxiety often comes from wanting things not to fail. I want…

AI Gods; AI Counseling
A few things to spit out: LLM vs RL RL (Reinforcement Learning) is a kind of AI training framework that focuses on learning through trial and error to maximize a reward, while LLMs focus on understanding and generating human-like text based on statistical prediction of the next token in a sequence. LLMs are large-scale models…

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…
