My Toronto Gang (who are still in Toronto!) The original OPL ‘Bathrobe’ Sorority Sisters We celebrated Jing Jing & Wanting’s birthdays today with our own hot-pot special!

'Unfashionable doctrine'
From Sacred Space this week: Jesus told us, ‘When you do good, your right hand should not know what your left hand is doing.’ That is almost a description of a mother changing nappies. Her routine is such that her right hand barely knows what her left hand is doing as she skilfully and rapidly […]
Remembering Heath
When Heath Ledger passed away earlier this year, I was saddened and shocked. He was a brilliant young actor who had so much to live for. And he was only my age. I came across this video clip of the first movie I ever saw Heath Ledger in: 10 Things I Hate About You. It […]
Proud of you
The thing about my brother is that he is a dreamer. All through his schooling years right up to university, his heart had always been somewhere other than on the books he had to study. He used to dream about being a professional soccer player, but of course, my parents didn’t support that idea. (I […]
What if I had wavy hair?
I went to get a haircut in Koreantown today. The pretty hairdresser lady said to me before she was going to dry my hair, “Your hair…straight. Today make curly, ok?” I thought, why the heck not? Let’s live a little! So she used the flat-iron to curl my hair… and ta-da! ha ha ha… what […]

(it’s spooky, this isn’t the first entry I felt this way about… and the blogger is just a month older than me.) Happiness, they say, […]

In Kenneth’s words, “The flip side of Agony (Into the Woods)” [Thanks for sending it to me, Vee!]
"More sibling than friend"
Wanting and I continued with our impromptu talks this evening over the dinner table. As usual, our conversation topics were randomly endless. Somehow we got to talking about how we made friends with people and how we became friends. She began to describe how she felt about our friendship. WT: “… you were never a […]
A splendid afternoon walk
I made a date with Jing today which was probably our last chance of quality time alone together before she hibernates for exams. The weather this afternoon was gorgeous so we decided to spend the time together walking. We walked all around campus, visiting St. Basil’s, being frightened by pigeons (only Jing, not me), eating […]
