Lockdown in Hong Kong |
| In 2022, Hong Kong has disconnected from the international world for the third year now. The PRC and HK economies (also the global one) are heading downhill. There isn't much IPO for me and no more travelling to PRC for work, so I mostly stayed in Hong Kong. | |
 This year I practice golf almost weekly at the Hong Kong Golf Club. Thanks Carol for the good company. |
 Zen... My IPO days has come to an end... It's time for a detour. Zen... |
 When the gathering restriction eased a bit, I threw a birthday gathering for Royceton. |
 While the situation allowed, I did what I should do. Memory is the best gift I have for you. |
 Thanks my friends for the birthday wishes. |
 Playdate is my weekly routine. |
 |
 I did have an overseas trip this year -- back to Vancouver home for lovely memories. |
 Thanks my good friends for always there beside me. Thanks. |

2020-2021 are among the roughest years in the 21st century with COVID pandemic impacting all livelihoods
around the
world. Yet I am thankful that the adverse effect on me is minimal except that I had cancelled all my trips.
On the bright side, I have
been spending more time with family and friends in Hong Kong. Life's
satisfaction and quality triump.

 My lockdown activities include hiking and walking along the beach with Tino |
 My social life has reduced to minimal, yet had my birthday gathering at an exquisite place |
 The firm I work for relocated to a smaller office, but gladly remained in a central area of Hong Kong |
 I'm thankful to have remained employed. It's an art to keep calm and carry on |
 Once gym opens, my daily activities include maintaining a healthy and balanced body |
 Despite the lockdown, I still celebrate birthdays for my family members |
 Body building in progress. I'm challenging to evolve from a twink into a muscle-lean man. |
 I had my first every staycation and enjoyed fancy meals while hotels are in promotions |

 I had a birthday gathering at Chris's residence at Hong Kong Peak along with a few of my friends |
 Of course I dressed formally for my birthday and the occasion. Based on my family's artefact, Chris suggested that my ancestor was a noble too |
 He collects over 2,000 Chinese garments and textiles including an emperor's gown, which was exhibiting in a museum in Singapore at the time |
 I imagined myself spending a night at the Louvre or the Imperial Palace |
 Seat cushion of the Emperor QianLong (乾隆皇帝) |
 Shoes for the ladies who bind their foot. (缠足) |
 A garment from Empress Dowager Cixi (慈禧) to the UK. The thread are gold plated |
 Necklace of Emperor's concubine. Those are color coral covering pearls |
 Study room. I was hoping to absorb more wisdom and knowledge |

 Friends gathering at Rosewood and chatted about life |
 naked at a hot tub, like a Japanese onsen |
 Tino had no physical school for 3 months due to the COVID 4th wave in HK, so... |
 we scheduled play dates, visited museums, parks, and tourist attractions of Hong Kong |
 |
 |
 I've grown to be at peace with the past, myself and friends around me. Hope I am becoming a better person |
