I. Hunt For The Green T-Shirt Well I didn’t find a true-green t-shirt exactly, but a true-green sweater instead. Wanting knows about my ongoing hunt for a truegreen t-shirt to replace my almost 12-yr old favourite t-shirt and she told me she’d seen a Gap sweater of that shade on sale. So I went, I […]

Déja vu. Woke up this morning and the view from my window seemed rather grey and blurry. After putting on my glasses I realized why…it’s snowing! (Last night Yuehan had just wondered when it was going to snow again…ha ha.) Watching the snowflakes twirling and floating past my window, I’m reminded of the Land of […]

For the second week in a row since I’ve been back, Friday’s the prettiest day of the week. After days of grey and gloomy skies, today’s blue skies and bright sunshine is a feast for the eyes. Yet, as is almost always the case in winter, such visually beautiful weather is accompanied by frigid temperatures. […]

Conversation 1: Bananas & Nuttz from SFO January 4, 2006 (12:02a.m.) I received a rather surreal 2min 40 sec phone-call from SFO. Surreal because it was almost like a dream. I had just fallen asleep when Wanting knocked on my door at about midnight. She said something about HJ/M/X on the phone and wanting to […]

Just like that, another year has gone by… and the last week of 2005, it seems, has flown by the fastest. Just barely 7 days ago I returned to T.O. with three people dear to my heart (two who are dearest and the third who is becoming increasingly dear as I become better acquainted). John […]

We made the mistake of sleeping too early last night (10pm?) and we were all awake at 4a.m. this morning. Had some food, drink…now John & Cathy are back asleep and I’m joining them in dreamland soon… Feeling quite disturbed by the fatal shooting on Yonge St on Boxing Day…a gun battle right in the […]

Back in Toronto for a little over 24 hours now. I’m tired beyond belief, but decided to take this opportunity to make a blog entry (perhaps seeing how diligently HJ is blogging from SF and how even HM who hasn’t blogged for ages actually posted a blog ‘motivated’ me into this). The flight from Singapore […]

It’s been a long week. My grandfather’s wake and funeral has come and gone. Such a trying event really brings out the best and worst in people. I’ve received plenty of food for thought just from the last week alone. Although it wasn’t exactly an easy time, something good came out of it. For the […]

It feels a little odd to follow a post about such a wonderful family event with a sad one. But such is life, I suppose… it shouldn’t be odd at all. My 爷爷 passed away in his sleep early this morning. It’s a little ironic that after a few close-calls when the entire family rushed […]
