long holidays

hiya luvs,

i almost didn't want to leave hong kong. just wanted to live there as an 'extended house guest' of akin and dave but reality knocked. my last week there was a productive week designing. in the morning, we would have playgroups. it was a great opportunity to observe the children interact with their spatial environment (at this point i should mention i'm working on a childrens furniture project, just so you guys know and not think i'm some weirdo that observes little kids lol).

meet the playgroup:

i met some great people there through akin and david. mostly expats and parents of young children (they're all in their thirties like me). we had some guests over for dinner and i contributed by baking some cupcakes :)

for my last weekend, we decided to take it easy and go to see the pixar exhibition at the hong kong heritage museum. it was a fun trip. i only wished they had a pixar gift store :(
