I just had a honking cup of coffee with some hazelnut flavoured creamer. So bad, but so good. You know, I’m really just a regular old North American girl. I mean, screw the French press or espresso machine, I’m going straight for ghetto drip filters and artificially flavoured non-dairy creamer. My Francophone boyfriend […]

It’s definitely been a roller coaster day. Of love? I guess so. I fell in love with my city over and over again today. First, driving out of Downsview, I stopped for a divine falafel at Pita Paradise. Really happy to have discovered this place because I often yearn for good Middle Eastern food when […]

Today may be the first day of the Lunar New Year but it is already the second day of family fun. Though my aunt, uncle and parents are only flying back from Florida as I type these words, my cousins and I joined the rest of my paternal extended family for some loony Lunar New […]

Happy Birthday to me from Andrew, the bestest big brother a girl could have.

So I’ve been bragging about being more patient as time goes on. I’ve still got bragging rights, but boy oh boy, it hasn’t been easy. In the past few days I have witnessed and been victim to so many acts of stupidity that I am truly amazed that I even have the patience to […]

I’m going to go uncharacteristically un-P.C. tonight. Not that I’m typically politically correct just for the sake of being politically correct, but I generally end up being P.C.* because of my worldview.

On Thursday night I was the only woman […]

With all the birthday hubbub, I’ve been feeling way too reflective for my own good. That means a few rambling, incomplete entries that never made it to publication.
It bothers me that I’ve not gotten into regular rhythm of writing here. I feel unsure of what I want from all this. Certainly I write for […]

My two front teeth hurt today. That’s usually a sign of stress for me. I don’t know if you can tell from the pictures but I’ve got a bit of an underbite. My bottom and top teeth just meet with the bottom row just beating the top. Hoo-freakin’-ray. More confirmation that I got the short […]

Thanks to one of Emai’s classic music posts way back while I was still sweating in S’pore, I became addicted to James Blunt easy listening hit. I miss my Singapore life a bit now that I’m back home hence the playing of such Singaporean favourites. You can be sure that a little Tristan Prettyman will […]

I’m constantly teased by my family for being a spazz. Amazingly, I am good at laughing this off now because I am no longer the spazz of years gone by. Sure, there are times when I pound my pillow before angrily dozing off but such days are thankfully rare.
I attribute this newfound ability to […]
