I don't know when was the last time I wrote in this blog, but I thought I would start to reinstate some thoughts in my mind, given the past tumultuous 8 months of havoc in the startup of my new studio in Hong Kong. It seemed not that long ago that I had just moved into Sheung Wan, and right during a time when the world was in strife over the September, 9-11 incident in New York. Times were really rough, and I had just moved into the flat. Now, the same thing has arisen here the move this time to Chai Wan, from West end to now East end. What a horrific time it has been in dealing with the university that I have been teaching at. I'm going to be brutally honest, and not because of the university itself, but the people that I have had to work and cooperate with, namely, a certain middle management personnel has taken me and my business partner for a ride, a ride that cost myself frustration, aggravation, financial strife (right during a time when the economy is in a downturn), and headache. Picking up the pieces has been an ordeal. Unpaid invoices dating back to 2006 and unresolved contracts for models and such, it is a fiasco. Regaining ground was all a bit too late, but it's better than never.
