Here’s a song to celebrate the coming of spring. From the twisted mind of Tom Lehrer, introduced to me by the equally ‘twisted’ minds of a certain Penguin Friend and her sisters about a year ago. Enjoy! *grin* Tom Lehrer – Poisoning Pigeons In The Park.mp3

Smorgasbord
It was Customer Appreciation Night at St. Lawrence Market today. I had no idea what that was…but a few days ago, Lamie called me and invited me to join her at this event as she had two invitations. She knew two things about it. 1. It’s FREE. 2. Got good food. I was sold! (Thanks […]
Anything Can Happen If You Let It
If you reach for the stars all you get are the stars But we’ve found a whole new spin If you reach for the heavens you get the stars thrown in From Mary Poppins The Musical
Hello Serena!
I just heard from Zibin that you read my blog too! Hee, feeling very honoured. Btw, can you help me scold that crazy brother of yours? Just a few minutes ago he was talking about the 何必 and 何苦 thing and he say if they’re twins then together they are 必苦 and it sounds like […]

Clutter
Isn’t it interesting how clutter begins? A paper that isn’t filed…a book not put back in place…some mail that was put aside for ‘later’…pieces of paper with random notes…magazines that weren’t put away…notes that were used and not put back in the folder…days go by, weeks, and I procrastinate putting things away. And before you […]

That’s what Hui Jun challenged me to pronounce, and which I succeeded in doing today. Earned me a cup of Second Cup’s Earl Grey tea (not bad eh?). It’s basically Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious spelt (truly) backwards. The West End musical soundtrack for Mary Poppins is addictive. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. […]
