Aarrggh. I slept ALL AFTERNOON!!!! It was a cool and lovely rainy day today. After lunch, I just couldn’t resist lying down on my bed and just…well…resting a bit. Before I know it, it’s 7p.m.!!! I’m so dead…*sob* ***** Zibin was able to have lunch with me today. We had a very, very animated debate […]

Nano Wait No More
Today was… Fun! Amusing! Enjoyable! Entertaining! Pleasurable! Ha ha…no, I haven’t gone nuts. I’m just still amused by Dictionapolis’ 5 cabinet members who speak in synonyms one after another. Yes, I’m talking about the Duke of Definition, Minister of Meaning, Earl of Essence, Count of Connotation and Undersecretary of Understanding. (Intrigued yet? Go and get […]
From Zero to Thirty
Well, I’m back in Singapore again. A veritable thunderstorm seems to be pouring outside…and I’m up at 5a.m. and getting pretty hungry (close to dinner-time in Toronto!). The flight back was pretty smooth and relatively pleasant. Positive points: 1) slept quite a bit, and pretty soundly too! 2) had Norton Juster’s The Phantom Tollbooth as […]
First Snow It Is!
Seems I blogged too soon yesterday… The heavens chose today to bestow its first snow of the season to Toronto. Yuehan smsed me to say “The snow insists on saying good-bye…” And as I was staring out of my window earlier, I was thinking the exact same thing. After so many winters, I still have […]
A Taste of Winter
It’s nice in a way…that I get a brief sample of winter the day before I fly back to tropical Singapore. For the first time in my 7 yr stay in Toronto though, I might miss the first ‘real’ snowy day. Off to sleep now. Had planned to sleep by 1a.m., but ended up having […]
The Best Laid Plans…
I’m flying back to Singapore this Friday, Nov 18th. I don’t know whether I’ll make it back in time, but I hope I’ll get to see my 爷爷 again. I don’t quite know what I’m feeling either. Ah well.
When Moo-Mates Swim
This is a blog hat-trick today. But I just had to post something about my swimming session. It was a jungle out there. Limbs flailing, an ‘uncle’ attempting what seemed to be like a back-stroke butterfly, a swimmer in my lane who kicks/scratches/hits me everytime we pass each other, a guy in a diving suit […]
Those Laundry Days
This photo was taken in September 2001 at the laundry room of 222 Elm St. Why did we bring a camera to the laundry room? I don’t remember…must have been one of those crazy days. I wanted to put another pic (with John looking positively psycho abt doing laundry) up as well, but I’m afraid […]
New Love
Peanut butter & dried prune sandwich. :)
Austen Snob?
Being a snob is not something that sits well with me…not when I’m the supposed snob. But more and more I’m realizing recently that I can be, well, very finicky about some very trivial things. I don’t like to see/watch performances unless it’s of what I deem to be a sufficiently high calibre. Figure-skating…dance… and […]
