I went to catch Erich Kunzel conduct the Toronto Symphonic Orchestra in ‘The Magical Music of Disney’ tonight with my friends. It was a lot of fun! I felt like a groupie mouthing the words to the songs half the time… Well, maybe a little more than half the time. Heh. The feel and caliber […]

What Hoo?
From time to time, Zibin and I will drift into inane conversation about the names of future kids. (Check out this old post to see what else has come up as unfortunate name candidates.) Today’s short interchange on the phone went like this: Me: Hey, if we have a daughter next time, can we name […]
My Weekend
Saturday was my much anticipated date with Wanting (one of the very rare times we actually make plans to go out together for an extended period of time). The original plan was to visit UTSC (UT’s Scarborough Campus) so I could show Wanting where I spent my first year in Toronto and for me to […]
Poor John
I called my mom who’s traveling in China with my grandmother to wish her Happy Mothers’ Day. In the process I found out that John is in Changi General Hospital because the poor boy had injured his right leg: torn the ligament, dislocated his ankle and fractured his leg in two places while playing soccer […]
My Surprise BBQ Farewell Party
Click on any thumbnail to enter photo album I’m usually a very bad target for surprises. Just ask Zibin! As much as I seem oblivious to everyday goings on at times, I am usually very savvy when it comes to signals that there’s something cooking under my nose. But today, when I turned up at […]
Bread & Mushroom
I love bread… ciabattas, foccacias, baguettes… freshly baked and fragrant! Jing Jing bought me a little souvenir from Niagara recently, and that girl didn’t know just how fantastic a gift it was for this bread lover. She got me a simply divine asiago and parmesan bread topper from Kurtz Ochard in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It contains grape […]
Once You Had Gold
It’s slowly sinking in through the whirl of things I’ve had to busy myself with… I’ll be saying good-bye to Toronto soon. I’m sad, but yet not as sad as I would have been if I had to say good-bye a few years ago. Why? Partly because I feel that it is time to move […]
At the Beach
Click on any of the thumbnails to enter the photo album! Today was an out and out Girls’ Day of Fun! I had breakfast with Jing Jing at Tim Hortons where Wanting and Zoe later joined us. Then the four of us went to 12:10p.m. mass at St. Patrick Church where to my delight and […]
Sunshine Days
The past week has been pretty much as good as it gets weather-wise. Sunshine and blue skies everyday (but one) with temperatures hovering in the mid-teens. I’m feeling pretty exhausted from all the things I’ve been trying to squeeze in… meetings with thesis group and supervisor, reading, errands and meeting up with friends as much […]
Sa Sa & Me
Wanting, Melissa and I have very curious interpersonal dynamics. And I swear Melissa brings the TNT. Cos it’s so easy to go crazy when she’s around. If anyone raises their arms or leaves even a hint of unprotected belly flesh (whether exposed or not), you will see the devilish gleam in Melissa’s eyes as she […]
