Me & My “妹妹”s Happy Chinese New Year! To everyone, here’s wishing you a blessed new lunar year filled with prosperity of heart, body, mind and soul! I’ve had an amazing Chinese New Year weekend. So packed with activities, good food, laughter, wonderful company and fun that I have decided not to give a detailed […]

Carrot Cake, Slumber Party & Dreaming of Peking Duck
The title pretty much sums up my last 12 hours. Around 2a.m. last night, I was almost ready to go to bed…but I was thinking about the carrot cake in my fridge (the carrot cake that the resident chef of Chez Chew had lovingly made and given us for CNY). I was hungry, and although […]
Think Of Me…
I’m shameless about this… I love it when something happens that let me know that someone is thinking of me. And for some reason, these past 2 days, I’ve been showered with small gestures that’s put a smile to my face. An out-of-the-blue msn “i miss you” from not one, but TWO very dear friends […]
Food, Friends & Sentiment
This afternoon out of the blue I got an sms from HM: “Just read in today’s Varsity (UofT’s campus newspaper). Arbor Room to close on June 30. Apparently they have been operating at a loss all this while.” My heart sank. I scrambled onto the internet to look for the online report. It didn’t say […]
Solitude
Most of the time I can be alone, and comfortable, and I can even listen to the most plaintive music there is and be ok. But sometimes when I’m alone, the emptiness around me becomes palpable and the silence is almost tangible. At such times, it’s so hard to find the ‘right’ music to play […]
Fresh Air
I’m a homebody…staying home is usually very pleasant for me. But after having stayed indoors for nearly 4 days straight, it was lovely to step out for some fresh air today. I also more than made up for those long hours of solitude with a really long chat with HM. I suppose that could be […]
You've Got Mail
Getting mail used to be a rare and pleasant occurrence. A greeting card, an unexpected letter from a friend (these are still rare occurrences now, and still much cherished and beloved). Nowadays, those three little words “you’ve got mail” that I hear from Wanting produce in me a sense of resignation. I’m inundated with mail […]

The Duchess at Stratford
Went to check out the Stratford Festival’s 2006 playbill and found The Duchess of Malfi! What a blast from the past…it was a play I spent tedious hours over for my A-levels. I’ve never seen it staged though…wouldn’t it be something to catch it live? There are other interesting plays with less murderous themes too…decisions, […]
