#MarketFriday Picking up shopping and getting lunch | 取货和吃午餐😎 Went out of office on Thursday to go for lunch and saw the chickens already having lunch. Nice rooster among them.

Late dimsum dinner at Tim Ho Wan | 添好运的点心晚餐😎 Looking for dinner late after pickleball game. Went to Tim Ho Wan since haven't been there for a while. The char siew bao is sweet as I remember. The fish and pork meatball porridge was more diluted than I prefer. I don't enjoy having a strand of noodle in my porridge although I don't have to pay for it. The fried bean curd skin with shrimp is OK The spinach dumpling with shrimp is nice. The glutinous rice in lotus leave is more…

Happy Easter | 复活节快乐😎 Happy Easter to all who observed Easter. This picture of a the start of a terrarium display my wife did some weeks ago. It turned out quite nice already in between. I thought it should have more earth. She told me she used less soil than her colleagues. Along the way home, her train ride was like an "earthquake" to the terrarium. So she had to do some renovation when she reached home. In the end, the bunnies are still intact. 😎 If you need an invite to…
Trying Microsoft Designer | 试用 Microsoft Designer😎 Microsoft Designer was touted as the Canva competitor. I signed on to join their waitlist some time back and recently receive a mail from them to try it. So I decided to play with it on Sunday.

Saw the sunset as I walked away but the first two pictures were bit blurry. So I continued to walk and find another spot to try one more time. Just a few more shots at different.
