An Alien’s Problem Seems recently I’ve been having some bad luck with travel… last night at the Pearson Airport, I briefly feared I would not be able to leave. See, apparently Singapore has an immigration law that prohibits aliens/foreigners (i.e. ME) from entering the country without a confirmed return air-ticket or an onward air-ticket. Since […]

My 8th year in Toronto has come to a close, and what a year it has been. There isn’t an adjective I can think of that could do it justice. This was the year I ‘stepped out’ again, immersing myself in extra-curricular activities and opening my heart to new friends. It’s funny how agreeing to […]
Showers of Blessing
I was drenched from knee down earlier when for a brief spate Toronto had some real rain. I stepped out from the church and I was greeted by sleets of water! Second time rain has made me laugh in the last month. Something about stepping in puddles and having the rain pounding down on me […]
Brunch @ Cora's
Met Tingfang for brunch earlier today (thanks for the great suggestion, Tingfang!). It was raining steadily, but that didn’t deter enthusiastic brunchers from lining up in the rain with their umbrellas. That’s an indication of how popular Cora’s is. :) The food was hearty and tasty, and the place was very colourful and cheerful, as […]
"A Disgrace to All Insects"
This is funny. I have to share it. Wanting and I were having lunch at the Sushi & BBQ place on Dundas & McCaul. We were sitting at the window, happily eating and chatting while watching people and cars go by. We joked about being live advertisements because passers-by frequently peered in to look at […]
Friday Noon Musings
Noise Yuandong’s back in Toronto. And the noise level at home has definitely increased. Makes me think of how John’s been saying that he looks forward to me returning home and ‘increasing the surrounding noise level by a few decibels’. I egg him on, just like Yuandong eggs Wanting on. Wanting was so happy about […]
For Little Pony Ter
Today, one of my dearest friends turns 27. Didn’t seem that long ago when I first knew of her. She was in a different class from me in Sec 1 & 2, but in Sec 2, she was one of the PUN (Prefect Understudy Nominee) level representatives. I hardly talked to her then. She was […]
Another Day On The Road
Lord I Offer My Life All that I am, all that I have I lay them down before you, oh Lord All my regrets, all my acclaims The joy and the pain, I’m making them yours Lord, I offer my life to you Everything I’ve been through Use it for your glory Lord I offer […]
Age Issues
Issue #1: Aches & Pain Had a conversation yesterday that reminded me of the time I went through an ergonomic phase. Before John left me his PC, I used my laptop all the time. In my final undergrad year, I started having more chronic muscle tension in my neck, shoulder and back. So I decided […]
A Gift of Bergamot
No pictures. No names. Because apparently, I had given my word to hold my peace…*heh* I received 100 teabags today. This is the second time in my life that I’ve received so much tea at one go as a gift. The last time was in January 1999 when Zibin bought me 5 boxes (of 25 […]
