Too cute for words!

What kind of a person wakes up at 5a.m. in the morning because she couldn’t solve a conundrum in her dreams? A crazy one, I bet. I was sound asleep…then I started wondering (while in my dreams!) about the correct spelling of the word ‘chrysanthemum’. Was it ‘chrysanthemum’ or ‘chrysenthemum’? I thought it was the […]

It has been an interesting two days. Yesterday I went swimming at Hart House despite my better judgment. As a result, my pectoral muscles which have been aching since pilates on Wed were strained even further. I swam the last two laps with just one good arm, prompting HX to comment that I was akin […]

It’s really true that you never stop learning new things. Having become a sort of ‘ah jie’ figure in Toronto whom most juniors expect to know a lot about UofT & T.O., it’s refreshing to learn new things from a freshman. For example, I never knew we could order a ‘part hot choc, part coffee’ […]

The trip to Algonquin Provincial Park today was a little less than expected. It seemed we spent forever on the road, and didn’t have any chance to hike along the nature trails.

Why are you laughing? WT: “Oh…heh. Nothing lah…you remind me of Bananas in Pyjamas.” Me: ???!!! Yesterday… After a hectic morning settling grant applications, I settled into […]

It’s nearly 4a.m. and I’m still up because the SSHRC website is overloaded and I can’t retrieve my online application. Strangely though, I’m calm and resigned. I have no excuse. I’ve been told that the website tends to crash on the eve of the application deadline. But for some reason unfathomable to myself, I kept […]

Ok, both HJ & HM have blogged about my spicy sms duel with HM. But I’m particularly fond of that duel as well so while I shall not discuss it here, I strongly encourage a visit to their respective blog entries: Spice Up Your Life (HM’s first hand account of the duel) HJ’s “innocent bystander” […]
