This is a blog hat-trick today. But I just had to post something about my swimming session. It was a jungle out there. Limbs flailing, an ‘uncle’ attempting what seemed to be like a back-stroke butterfly, a swimmer in my lane who kicks/scratches/hits me everytime we pass each other, a guy in a diving suit […]

This photo was taken in September 2001 at the laundry room of 222 Elm St. Why did we bring a camera to the laundry room? I don’t remember…must have been one of those crazy days. I wanted to put another pic (with John looking positively psycho abt doing laundry) up as well, but I’m afraid […]

Peanut butter & dried prune sandwich. :)

Being a snob is not something that sits well with me…not when I’m the supposed snob. But more and more I’m realizing recently that I can be, well, very finicky about some very trivial things. I don’t like to see/watch performances unless it’s of what I deem to be a sufficiently high calibre. Figure-skating…dance… and […]

There’s really something to be said for delayed gratfication. As some of my blog readers already know, I’ve been feverishly longing after the iPod Nano for quite a while now. First it was an article in Time magazine that I saw. I was impressed but unmoved. Then I saw the TV ad, and well… I […]

Sometimes I don’t know what gets into me… Maybe it’s some pent up or unused energy that sometimes wells up within me. At times, I get so much satisfaction from teasing people that I’m almost ashamed of myself. I had a meeting today with some of my fellow OISE philosophy students to discuss the planning […]

They laminated a giant bumble bee, They laminated a giant bumble bee, It’s so disgusting, can’t you see, They laminated a giant bumble bee. Sometimes I think I’ve got to be the ‘luckiest’ person on earth. What are the chances of a bee getting laminated into the back cover of an academic journal? And then […]

Have I had any romantic notions about autumn in my mind today (which, thankfully, I didn’t), it would most definitely have been blasted out of my being during the longest walk home I’ve had in my life. The wind, dear reader, was blowing at 68km/h with blasts of 89km/h. And the regular, mundane 15mins walk […]

Hui Jun managed to find and download the full balletic score of Ludwig Minkus’ Don Quixote. The mp3 lasts for 1:25:47! I haven’t heard some of the themes for ages and ages… I used to have the Bolshoi Ballet performance on VHS which I watched over and over again when I was 5 or 6 […]

Hmmm. Huixuan told me about this humanmetrics site, which got me…intrigued. It’s a version of the MBTI, and the analysis is…interesting. I’m actually quite impressed. Some parts of the analysis were eerily (and some parts sadly) true. Strength of the preferences % Extroverted (1) Intuitive (12) Feeling (62) Judging (33) I’m: slightly expressed extrovert slightly […]
