Congratulations Mind HK on the 5th year anniversary of More Than A Label. It was a joy to be one of the ambassadors taking part in an exhibition of light, art and recovery stories to mark this milestone. I attended the opening of Refraction: A Journey of Our Mind with artist Charles Tang. Attendees were invited to take home a poem inspired by mental health recovery as a memento.

In The (Wrong) Studio on World Mental Health Day!
Aiya! My return to RTHK Radio 3 did not go as planned. I arrived at the studio early and zoned out when I realised hang on, aren’t I supposed to be on the air by now? It turned out Noz was in the studio, too. Just not the one I was in. She was in the one on the other side of town. So we did the interview on the phone but I couldn’t upload my poem without cutting her off (so RTHK listeners were spared that annual ‘treat’. At least until World Bipolar Day.😆)
Always a slice of sunshine chatting to Noz in any sticky situation – on the air or off it! Hope your World Mental Health Day was as full of memorable mishaps and mayhem as mine! And it was nice being back in the studio, even if it was the wrong studio!

Mental Health Award
I discovered I’d been nominated for a GHP Mental Health Award a few weeks ago for my contribution via Mental Ideas and Bipolar Hong Kong. Well, apparently I’ve won ‘Most Dedicated Mental Health Advocate 2025’ (Hong Kong)! 😂 🙏🏼
Thanks to everyone who’s given me a platform to rant and muse about mental health, especially Mind HK and RTHK. It’s a lovely way to celebrate the 10th birthday of Bipolar Hong Kong! 🇭🇰 🩷
