I used to be an Evernote user until 2020 when they released an unusable update. I am only using an app which is preinstalled on all my devices: Apple Notes. Why Apple Notes? alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/4/…

But I know clearly why my every piece of writing starts from Apple Notes: because I just simply want to record my ideas, thoughts and observations. Just open the app, write and that’s it. On iA Writer and Microsoft Word; as well as Apple Notes: alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/5/…

Writing should be a part of life for everyone, especially if you are not good at it and even a professional author. On the myths of writing: alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/6/…

A good app does not need you to do extra things while your life can continue as usual. It won’t undermine your ability but will make you better instead. Apple Notes can really achieve that. Why Apple Notes (2)? alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/13…

Under such the perfect weather in early April, I had a trip which was a little bit different because of visiting more than one place/town at once instead. I started from Portsmouth and ended in Bognor Regis. A trip to Portsmouth, Gosport and Bognor Regis: alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/14…

A construction site on Fleet Street, City of London. Building and preserving part of the old architecture. I love sketching construction sites because I can capture the moment that I will meet again. The last photo is the church nearby told by a pedestrian I met.

Chatsworth Hotel is the oldest hotel in Worthing with more than 200-year history. Garden view twin hotel is one of their room types facing Steyne Garden and a small part of the sea there. Sketched on Moleskine first with colour version on Procreate later.

Horizon 22 is my favourite viewing platform which is the highest in the city. I made the second visit and sketched the same view again. Drawing the sky view of London in Horizon 22 again: alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/4/24…

Sketches in Canada Water, the view from the library nowadays, and the library architecture two years ago when Canada Dock Boardwalk and one of the skyscrapers was still in progress.

The changing Stratford: it's like a future city where you can get off the train to the shopping mall seamlessly without getting wet, while you have a big wood and park, two new museums with universities and collaborated workspaces where great people can gather together.

For the impending 80th Anniversary of Victory In Europe Day, I share this fascinating colour film of the VE Day celebrations held in London on 8th May 1945. I have edited it together for you using rare original colour cine footage. It is not colourised. The soundtrack is Irving

This is how I, as a male, was sexually assaulted by a man in the toilet. Don't think this happens to females only. alvinintheroom.com/blog/2025/5/8/…

看得出來中國怎麼搞的嗎? 用AI生成的帳號頭像,在網路上製造分裂議題, 讓雙方對立與吵架。 這招除了對付美國,也拿來對付台灣或甚至其他國家。你內部吵得越兇,中共越有機會滲透與煽動。 所以,如果你懷疑任何帳號是AI假帳,封鎖就對了,別給它們機會。
