Photo of my ‘newly-found’ passport…upon Mel’s request :P Yes, I found my ‘houdini’ passport! This morning. In the rental car I drove to Cornell. Yesterday, the guy at Budget had helped me look but said he didn’t see it. I thought I’d give it one last shot in person this morning (hoping that the car […]

C'est la vie
Has there been a spate of bad luck running around? I think I may have the (mis)fortune of encountering it, cos I think I may have lost my passport. The timing couldn’t have been better, cos I am supposed to go to L.A. to see my Grandma next Monday. Now we’ll have to wait and […]
Back in the City
Back in T.O. Border crossing was smooth this time (doesn’t anybody want to come to Canada? :P), but traffic into Toronto was horrendous due to CNE and the Air Show. *sigh* Still more driving later as I am going to airport with Melissa to fetch Li Ning & Jing Jing. Meanwhile, I think a nap […]
Downpour, Shopping, & Stolen Cows
What a day it was to be driving yesterday! Traffic was backed up at the Canada/U.S. border such that we waited nearly 2 hours in line. Then, drizzle became downpour as we were on the I-90. Visibility was poor, but fortunately we all arrived safely and happily in Ithaca by 2:45p.m. A cheerful Zibin brought […]
Road Trip!
The house has been buzzing about it all week! The House of OPL1204C a.k.a. “The Sorority” (*pained look at Edmund*) is going to Ithaca this weekend! Oh, our ‘honorary member’, Mr Poon, is also joining us so it just won’t be three girls and a “monkey” (very cute one) in Ithaca. Will try to update […]
Fighting to Love
Out of the blue, yesterday afternoon around 4p.m., I suddenly thought of John. More specifically, I thought of the way he’d call me when he’s excited about something. That eager note in his voice. That impatient gleam in his eye. And the affectionate way he’d drag me by the shoulders to wherever it was he […]
Happy Teachers' Day!
Shi Qi reminded me that it was Teachers’ Day today. :) And I just thought I’d wish all my teachers a Happy Teachers’ Day. My teachers come from all walks of life and are of many different ages. Seriously. I even suspect that some of them don’t realize that I’ve been learning from them *grin*. […]
A Nice Day
Just as I was about to go to sleep last night, I had a thought, “Today was a good day.” There wasn’t anything out of the ordinary yesterday. It was the little moments that were interspersed throughout (particularly in the afternoon and earlier evening) that added flavour. It was a day peppered with ‘moments’. Facial […]
Ithaca Photos
A barn along Highway 96, enroute from Ithaca to Toronto Sorry I took so long to put these pics up. The delay was due to various reasons. I was lazy. I wasn’t too happy with the pics I took on this trip because almost all the photos were taken from the car. Neither my skills […]
Onegin
Been in a ‘balletic’ mood ever since I found out that The National Ballet of Canada is staging Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty (choreography by Rudolf Nureyev) in November. That fairy-tale was my childhood favourite for two reasons. 1. The ballet. 2. The Disney cartoon. Both for which I loved the music. Of course the cartoon […]
