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 […]

An Officer and A Gentleman
It was John’s commissioning parade this past Saturday, December 10, 2005. (For John’s own perspective of the event, see here.) I can’t begin to imagine how it must feel for him, but I know all of us there (my parents, Cathy, Zibin & me) were happy and proud of our newly commissioned officer. It was […]
Fever in Subzero T.O.
Just wanted to leave a note to those of my friends in the midst of exam fever in Toronto. All the best…good luck! Amidst all the last minute mugging, stressing, and not-sleeping, here’s a reminder to drink more water and SLEEP as much as you can. It’s been studied and proven that sleep is needed […]
New Phone (Again?!)
Yep. Totally unplanned, unexpected…But as of yesterday evening, I’ve got a new cell/mobile phone. A Samsung SGH-E730 It started simply enough, with me shopping with my mom for a new digital camera for John (my mom’s present to him for his commissioning + Christmas). And she’s been looking for a palm for herself for a […]
Zibin & Joey
It was ‘aww-inducing’ to watch 3-month old Joey gurgling and cooing happily to Zibin’s voice…until one comes close enough to hear what it was that Uncle Zibin was saying to the chubby little bundle of joy. “Have you got a pot-belly? Ooh…have you got a pot-belly? Have you got a pot-belly?”
159 Reunion
It was Sin Teck’s son, Althan’s 1st birthday yesterday. (Sin Teck was one of Zibin’s 6 housemates at 159 Beverley St. back in their Toronto glory-days) And so, it turned out to be a kind of reunion for those guys…albeit with babies and kids screaming in the background, balloons popping etc. It was fun to […]
My Heart’s In Two Places…Again
I feel it again. The Toronto-tug. The last time I was aware of this feeling was May 29 (when I made my “T.O. Gal” blog post). This time though, I’m feeling it while in Singapore. Kind of unsettling…maybe because I don’t know what to make of it. Since the day I arrived, people have been […]

Hoo’s The Clown?
My Teva sandal fell apart when I was out for dinner yesterday. For the rest of the evening, I had to lift my right foot clearly off the ground when I walked so the ‘flap’ of the sole that had come loose wouldn’t drag on the ground. I wasn’t self-conscious about how I looked when […]
