Journey of the Heart

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” […]

Some people have been asking me about the differences between Pilates & Yoga. Frankly, although I can feel the difference, I don’t know enough to articulate/explain it. Though highly similar, each exercise has a slightly different goal. Physically, the best distinction I’ve found is that yoga requires positions to be held while pilates works through […]

It’s been 9 months since I’ve gone for pilates instruction. I’d forgotten how good it can feel and also how tiring it is. Serves me right for not keeping up with it on my own. I could feel the muscle burn everywhere! Quads, thighs, triceps, biceps, oblique abs… especially the abs. I’m not looking forward […]

Yesterday was an amazing day – a day with gorgeous weather, wonderful company, enjoyable activities and new experiences. I had no expectations about how the day would turn out, and perhaps because of that, I had one of the most fun-filled days in Toronto that I can remember. Brief Programme: Milton’s Farmer Market, Springfield Pumpkin […]

During lunch today, one of my lunchmates remarked that “real is over-rated.” Besides the fact that this remark was a little ironic coming from a somewhat fan of TAR, it kinda settled into a crevice in my mind and it’s been stuck there since lunch. I didn’t pursue the comment at the time, but I’ve […]

Just read a friend’s blog… and suddenly these lyrics from The Rose come to mind as something I’d like to share with her: It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It’s the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It’s the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem […]

I’m supposed to be studying now. But instead I’m fighting the Zzzzz monster. Well, at least I’m still in battle… my study-mate across the table has already succumbed and fallen asleep on her psychology textbook. Ha ha. Went swimming again at Hart House today, at Huixuan’s invitation. And my, that girl can swim! I had […]

I have almost forgotten how it feels to suffer at the “hands” of a faucet that blows hot and cold and have nowhere to run. Had the experience again today…twice. Scalding hot. Then… freezing cold. I yelped and howled to no avail. Ha ha… don’t think anyone heard me, and even if they had, there […]

Friday 23 Sep: Borrowed Qiuyan’s car to buy groceries for MSSA Orientation. Hui Jun & I brilliantly locked the car keys in the car trunk. 100mins and 48bottles of mineral water (don’t ask) later, the mess was fixed. Discovery: Hui Jun would be a great person to have if I ever needed someone to bail […]

I’ve been pretty stressed so far this week… bad timing. Suddenly all sorts of things colluding… parquet flooring popping up, government choosing to review my tax return. Today from the moment I woke up I was ‘fighting fire’ one after another…and it wasn’t till about 1p.m. in the afternoon that I could take a breather. […]
