I haven’t checked, but I think that the last two times I’ve come back to Singapore for a visit, I’ve made at least one blog entry about my being pulled between Singapore and Toronto. Who am I to break a tradition that I started myself, right? :P *small sigh* It’s not really that funny. Maybe […]

Jet-Lagged Rambles
Conversations that “Never Happened” The first two days I was back, I concussed by 7-8p.m. I found out on two separate occasions today that I had somehow held lucid conversations when I was supposedly asleep. Conversations I had no recollections of. My mom was amazed. Zibin…was even more perplexed because apparently we had quite a […]
Two Women. Two Girls. Two Friends.
After playing with Zonghan for a while, Yinwei and I left her place to go to town. It didn’t really matter where we were heading, really, because where the two of us are concerned, the location is just a setting for talking… doesn’t matter if we’re standing, sitting or walking. Nevertheless, there were a couple […]

Too Awake
Bah! It’s useless… woke up 1.5 hrs ago and can’t get back to sleep! It’s 1:10a.m. And if I stay awake any longer I know I’m going to get hungry. I always do. *mock sigh* :P **************** Was reflecting earlier and marvelling again at how much Nouwen’s writing seems to speak to me… to address […]
Back in Sunset Way
Just like that, I’m back in my old room again. It never fails to amaze me how within a short 24hrs I can be in my other home half the globe away, where everything is so different and yet familiar. Mom, Dad and John were all at the airport to pick me up. John didn’t […]
Flying
An Alien’s Problem Seems recently I’ve been having some bad luck with travel… last night at the Pearson Airport, I briefly feared I would not be able to leave. See, apparently Singapore has an immigration law that prohibits aliens/foreigners (i.e. ME) from entering the country without a confirmed return air-ticket or an onward air-ticket. Since […]
À Bientôt
My 8th year in Toronto has come to a close, and what a year it has been. There isn’t an adjective I can think of that could do it justice. This was the year I ‘stepped out’ again, immersing myself in extra-curricular activities and opening my heart to new friends. It’s funny how agreeing to […]
Showers of Blessing
I was drenched from knee down earlier when for a brief spate Toronto had some real rain. I stepped out from the church and I was greeted by sleets of water! Second time rain has made me laugh in the last month. Something about stepping in puddles and having the rain pounding down on me […]
Brunch @ Cora's
Met Tingfang for brunch earlier today (thanks for the great suggestion, Tingfang!). It was raining steadily, but that didn’t deter enthusiastic brunchers from lining up in the rain with their umbrellas. That’s an indication of how popular Cora’s is. :) The food was hearty and tasty, and the place was very colourful and cheerful, as […]
