Journey of the Heart

For some reason I’m not someone who is easily surprised. But I was surprised early this morning. I thought I had gone to the airport just to fetch Huixuan and her mom. Instead, I received a third arrival from Toronto: 2 slices of delectable pecan pie from Swiss Chalet! Huixuan had gone and bought it […]

Today’s entire morning was dedicated to clearing out my wardrobe. When I was finally done, Mom decided she also wanted to clear some very, VERY old clothes of mine. Out came a suitcase full of selected clothes, both mine and Johnny’s… from newborn shirts to kindergarten uniforms and even John’s Monkey God costume that my […]

It’s “Duan Wu Jie” again, and since I was really young, I had looked forward to this festival because of my grandmother’s rice-dumplings. I remember when I was around 9 or 10 yrs old, I once sat down with 2 of my cousins (all of us were the older siblings) in my grandmother’s kitchen and […]

Mom brought me to her room today and showed me what she bought from L.A. And among other things, saw this mass of black Nine West bags on her bed… plus one Guess bag. Gifts she says… asked me to choose what I want first. I did. Got 2 new bags now… just wish I […]
