This is a post I wrote in early December 2006. At the time I didn’t feel it was time to post it. I post it now because it is a timely reminder to myself… I’ve been feeling anxious and irritable with myself and others these past few days. But I also post it because it […]

A Very Good Heart
One of the attributes that attracted me to Zibin in those early days, even before we were more than friends, was how he was kind to everyone. You could be a good friend, or an acquaintance he barely knows… you could even be a perfect stranger. But if you approached him for help, he would […]
Pilates vs Yoga: Round 2
A long time ago I made a blog entry titled Pilates vs Yoga. I can’t help it, now it’s time for Round 2. After having a dearth of exercise over the holidays and then falling sick, I finally stopped putting it off and went to try the classes at The Yoga Sanctuary with Wanting. Maybe […]
The Thing I'll Miss Most is…
Snow. That’s what I felt as I watched snowflakes waltz past my bedroom window. Some even skidded past my nose as they brushed the pane of glass separating my cosy bedroom from the -30 deg (with wind-chill) winter city outside. I’m a winter baby… I was born on a very snowy day when it was […]
So True! :P
I discovered a graduate student comic strip called PhD – Piled Higher & Deeper. And I couldn’t help laughing… Graduate student life is certainly a world of its own… the challenges, the stress… all of which can only be fully understood by other graduate students. I’m one of the very lucky ones already, since I […]
*Dreamy Sigh*
Scarlett Johansson as fairy-tale princess Cinderella I initially saw this photo on Sherry’s blog (thanks!). I wasn’t overly fond of Disney’s Cinderella as a little girl, cos I thought the gown looked too ‘bubbly’ and what’s so fantastic about a hairband? But I absolutely love this image. The exquisite Scarlett Johansson is an inspired choice… […]
Educated & Entertained
I had my first microteaching skills seminar today as part of the Teaching in Higher Education course I’m taking. We had to give a 10 minute lecture on an academic topic in our respective fields and teach it to our classmates (who were all PhD students in various fields). We were then critiqued by our […]
Tending My Garden
Let silence speak to silence. Let deep speak to deep. Let words not be squandered lest they lose the power to rebuke and to heal. Cultivate a garden of solitude and baptize it with silence Then your words will be as seeds when received by fertile hearts, and they will flower and bear fruit in […]
MTV
Was waiting to cross the road to Canadian Tire on Yonge last Saturday, and the interesting coloured lighting on this building struck my fancy.
Icing from Heaven
Don’t know why the sight of snow falling can still immediately make me happy, or why the feeling of crisp newly-fallen snow under my boots makes me light-hearted. And when it’s night time, the scene of snow falling is even more romantic and magical… I could lose track of time just watching how the snow […]
