Why you can trust SCMP
The wellness ritual you can’t live without?
I drop my eight-year-old son off at school just before 8am and go to House of Fitness, a boutique gym on Possession Street in Sheung Wan. I could go to a cheaper gym, but this one is between my son’s school and the office, so it’s convenient.
The most conversation-sparking object at home?
Roomba, our robot vacuum cleaner. We have one at home called Rob and another in the office called Bob. People always comment on Rob, whether he’s running over the dog or not doing his job properly.
A scent that immediately brings you joy?
Trudon makes a candle called Spiritus Sancti. It has a light incense smell and gives me the feeling of something old, magnificent and calm. It’s like being in a church.
Your favourite city and the first thing you do there?
Before we had our son, my wife and I often went to Chiang Mai. It’s an actual city, not a resort. I’m not a beach guy and it suited me. Chiang Mai is the farm of Thailand, where they produce all the fruit and vegetables. We’d get a tuk-tuk from the airport and go straight to have mango sticky rice.
