Ever since I watched Steve Martin’s Father of the Bride and saw Annie wear sneakers underneath her wedding gown, I had wanted to do the same. Yes, I know it’s not stylish or elegant, but hey, it’s comfortable! And besides, as long as the gown covers my feet, who cares what I’m wearing on my […]

Too cute to eat?
Yep, I like monkeys! I think they’re intelligent and mischievous and cute. Most zai monkey of all time – Sun Wukong! Cutest monkey – Monkey Boo. And now I think I’ve found a tasty one! Ha ha ha… and it’s waiting for another Monkey to come to Toronto and eat it!
Frosted & Melting
Snowflake clusters melting on my window As I was walking home from Yoga today it started snowing… and then it really began to come down. And it’s been snowing heavily for over 3 hours now which makes me very happy. But temperatures are supposed to rise above 0 overnight and the snow is supposed to […]
It's All Here (Snow, New Year, Philosophy!)
On Friday I had a conversation with one of the Cornellian graduate students. It was very interesting. He was a Hwa Chong science student (class of 91) who failed his A-levels.

The exquisite Scarlett Johansson is an inspired choice… […]

Was waiting to cross the road to Canadian Tire on Yonge last Saturday, and the interesting coloured lighting on this building struck my fancy.
Holiday Highlights
What happens when you have 2 trigger-happy people on a trip? Too many photographs! :P After a selection and screening process, I managed to pare down my family’s holiday photos to 1996 (that’s from both my camera and John’s). I’ve selected some highlights from that ponderous collection to be shared in my online album. So […]
Snow. Finally!
Rue St. Antoine in Montréal After all that waiting, we finally got to see a bit of Canadian winter! It snowed overnight and we woke up to a winter wonderland. We checked out Vietnamese food and Montréal’s Chinatown, as well as Vieux Montréal where we visited Notre Dame and Pointe-à -Callière, Musée d’archéologie et d’histoire de […]
