I miss John. I feel like I see so little of him, and even when I see him, I never have the chance to find out how he’s feeling about all the stuff that he has going on in his life. I don’t even really know what’s going on in his life except for bits […]

Zibin's Birthday "Surprise"
It was Zibin’s 29th Birthday yesterday (Nov 1) and the sweet guy had been planning for 2 weeks to surprise me by taking a day off on his birthday to spend with me. (I know. It’s HIS birthday… I don’t know why the surprise is for ME. ha ha) But, somehow, like I so often […]
Budding Talent
I wish I could say I took this photo, but I didn’t. *grin* This is a photo that Sherry took of HER OWN EYE. Amazing isn’t it? I was very impressed when I saw this photo. There’s a quality about it that just draws me in… something about this photo that is emotionally evocative. Sherry’s […]
Embracing 'Auntie-hood'
In Toronto, every now and then, Wanting would comment that we (i.e. she, Melissa & me) were quite ‘auntie’. Once, when Jing Jing and I went to West Mall’s Shop n Save, she commented that what we were doing was so ‘auntie’. Today, upon grocery shopping and buying herbs and sharing soup recipes with Yinwei, […]

Weakness

Initially it was a call of necessity to sort out some information the condo’s management office needed… but of course we ended up talking a bit and catching up. Wanting “Hi!!!” I love […]
A Treasure
Sometimes I get frustrated by the long working hours that Zibin has. That guy has so much to do at work that he’s usually out the front door by 7a.m. (sometimes earlier) and only comes home around 8:45p.m. Quite often it’s later than that and we only have dinner between 9 or 10p.m. (It comes […]
He makes me laugh
We were at a crowded shopping mall in Orchard Rd. He went to the POSB atm to withdraw cash. Knowing that he would want to hand some cash to me right away, and not thinking that it’s a good place to do so, I shook my head silently and subtly (or so I thought) at […]
Proud to be 'Chinese Educated'
Recently I met with a good friend who told me that after having helped out at my wedding, she had decided she wanted to send her future children to ‘Chinese education’ schools. It was a conversation that has got me still thinking. She witnessed a warmth and a kind of closeness and sense of community […]
