This morning… I open my bedroom door and walk out in my yellow top and striped pyjama pants. Me: “Hi Wanting…Good morning!” WT: *double-take* Ahhhhh! *giggles**giggles**giggles* Me: What? Why are you laughing? WT: “Oh…heh. Nothing lah…you remind me of Bananas in Pyjamas.” Me: ???!!! Yesterday… After a hectic morning settling grant applications, I settled into […]

It’s nearly 4a.m. and I’m still up because the SSHRC website is overloaded and I can’t retrieve my online application. Strangely though, I’m calm and resigned. I have no excuse. I’ve been told that the website tends to crash on the eve of the application deadline. But for some reason unfathomable to myself, I kept […]

Ok, both HJ & HM have blogged about my spicy sms duel with HM. But I’m particularly fond of that duel as well so while I shall not discuss it here, I strongly encourage a visit to their respective blog entries: Spice Up Your Life (HM’s first hand account of the duel) HJ’s “innocent bystander” […]

I had no expectations about how the day would turn out, and perhaps because of that, I had one of the most fun-filled days in Toronto that I can remember. Brief Programme: Milton’s Farmer Market, Springfield Pumpkin […]

During lunch today, one of my lunchmates remarked that “real is over-rated.” Besides the fact that this remark was a little ironic coming from a somewhat fan of TAR, it kinda settled into a crevice in my mind and it’s been stuck there since lunch. I didn’t pursue the comment at the time, but I’ve […]

Just read a friend’s blog… and suddenly these lyrics from The Rose come to mind as something I’d like to share with her: It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem […]
