Last Tuesday night, I unexpectedly poured out my heart along with many tears to Zibin. I say unexpected because I had not been feeling particularly down. But we started talking right before bed, I shared a sentiment, he asked a question, and before you know it, BAM. Niagara Falls right in his apartment in Ithaca. […]

New Blog
Not retiring ‘Animann’ just yet, but Zibin and I have decided to start a new combined blog that, hopefully, will evolve into our family blog in future if we manage to keep it up. You’re welcome to visit our new space at http://www.withjoyfulhearts.com!
Our Very Own Space
This blog is really cool, in that we’re creating our very own space for ourselves in the cyberworld…I guess I’ve never been an avid blogger, but when Ann mooted this idea of us having our own domain, it sounded nice… It’s like we’re working together to create something special, which I am sure this blog […]
Remembering Toronto's Class of 0T6
John, Yuandong, Thaddeus & Daniel Ting and I were just saying how we missed these guys the other day… and quite by chance I stumbled across this in my computer. Something John must have made quite a few years ago. Haven’t been in touch with Thad & Dan for a while… Qiuyan and Yiling too. […]
Word Games
From http://www.thefreedictionary.com I found more fun and educational things to add to my personalized Google homepage! Yes, Google is my homepage now because it’s so cool! I’ve got weather (both Toronto and Ithaca), calendar, e-mail, CNN and Toronto Star newsclips, wikipedia articles, words of the day, and now word games! Ok, this trencher(wo)man is going […]
First Post
Cool… our first domain! Hope this will be the site of many good reflections to come from The Hoos. :P
Friendship & Love (1999-2006)
Niagara Falls, Canada. February 27, 1999 and November 23, 2006. The first photo was taken back when we had no inkling that we might become more than friends. It’s still a special photo though, because that’s the first photo that we ever took together. *grin* *************** Last week was a great week for me. Spent […]
Blue & Grey
Spadina Ave, Toronto. Taken Saturday, November 25, 2006. We were waiting for the fog to clear on Saturday morning before going up the CN Tower (which you can glimpse in this shot). I like how this photo turned out, virtually monochrome in the foreground but with a hint of blue sky in the background. Can’t […]
No Nose for Wine
Lamie & I attended the ‘Quick Track to Wine Mastery’ wine-tasting class at the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. We tasted 6 ‘archetypal’ wines that will supposedly help us to make sense of all the dizzying array of wines out there. The session was very informative, if at times baffling. Richard Best (a.k.a. “The Frugal […]
Feeling Bearish
Cute bear in Cornell Store After a week packed with activities in two countries, Zibin, Serena & WK left Toronto yesterday evening.
