without Honey.....again.

2008-02-23T20:06:00.000-08:00

[Sweet bonding time]

So busy after Honey went back to TO. Things have been moving quickly lately. Finished my Theory and Practical Midterms, did some volunteering in school and observation in DIVA at the MET restaurant. Exhausted. And got few cuts while chopping the parsley and twisted the lobsters. After done few observations, I am sure what I want to do is pastry. Can't stand anymore cuts or heat. Need to decide where to do my practicum. Decision, decision, decision. Hmm.....

Honey is busying with midterms and presentation in these 2 weeks. I have to do my presentation too. Let's work hard together =)

I miss you. Xuan and BB miss you too.

Stonegrill 2008.

2008-02-16T20:30:00.000-08:00

We went to Stonegrill on the 15th. Definitely a good place for steak. Never order any other stuffs but steaks, especially jumbo prawns and jumbo scallop, they ain't that jumbo at all and price wise, they are not worth 40 bucks for 4 pieces.

we love V-day.

2008-02-14T12:02:00.000-08:00

Made some truffles on Sunday and DIY card at 6ish in the early morning before 3 hours she arrived. Great that she love them all. Honey surprised me with those purple roses which actually her favourite colour. I told her to buy me stuffs from Sephora is good enough haha. I am just not so into flowers. Oh well, THANKS Honey! But no next time, ok.

the 7th week.

2008-02-11T19:10:00.000-08:00

[dry cracked hand with bandages]

So unbelievable that I got 2 cuts on my 7th week of school from cutting the onion. This kind of cut is supposed to be happened in the first 2 weeks. Anyway. So because of my carelessness, finally got a chance to use the waterproof bandage that Honey mailed to me. It is a weird plaster, I must say, or I don't know how to use it. It comes without any cotton on it, just simply a waterproof "tape". The not-too-deep-cut-but-bleed-lots-wound was covered and yea the waterproof did its job, but it couldn't stop and hold the bleeding. Thanks Honey. I guess we have to go for a bandage shopping when you are here.
Everyday life is a challenge. Tomorrow is Restaurant Day which we will have to pretend working in a real kitchen. We have to prepare the mise en place and wait for orders from "the customers" a.k.a. the chefs then cook. Sounds interesting but I can foresee the chaos we will be created. Crossing my fingers, we can all survive from tomorrow and have fun. Will go to C Restaurant this Wednesday with Jon. Excited yet nervous. Got my knives sharpened and polished. I am so ready. Hope will get to do some fish butchery or kill some crabs/lobsters.

And crossing my fingers again plus toes, no more cuts and burns.

*Yay, Honey is coming back in 3 days. Good luck in your midterms!!

recap of school life.

2008-02-11T09:35:00.000-08:00

::Will keep adding new photos!!

Happy February.

2008-02-03T09:59:00.000-08:00

Woohooooooooo! So happy happy happy that honey is coming back in 10 days for a week. Our first V-day and 6 months "official" anniversary are falling in the same week.

First month of school.

2008-01-27T18:47:00.000-08:00

Life has been pretty tired since school started. I've been sick for 2 times in 3 weeks. Now is suffering from cramps and sore throat. Gosh, I wish my honey is here to take care of me, just like last time I had high fever. I miss you so much, honey. Anyway, I am quite enjoy the school life now. Oh well, not to mention those cuts, burn, and blood blisters I got all over my hands. Getting used to/being an early bird and seeing the nice mountains view every single morning is a plus. On the other hand, I am getting lazy to call out friends, sorry girls. Just don't feel have extra time to do other things besides preparing for the next day of school and resting. I know there's always pros and cons for what you are doing. But hopefully all my hard work and sacrifices will be paid off.

Just start looking for nice sweet home. Feel so excited about it but will try not to keep the hope too high. I am sure all the things will go smooth and turn out all right as we planned. Right, honey?

Had several fights since you went back. Not a good sign but things solved ::I have faith in us and I love you very much.

wish everyone has a happy 2008!

2008-01-01T22:35:00.000-08:00

2007-11-15T15:20:00.000-08:00

Flying back home tonight. 5 hours of flight. And I miss my honey so much already. Been spending minutes and seconds with her in the whole 1.5 months. Been through so much laughs and tears. I know that you are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Oh well, I know this is pretty corny haha. Anyways. I am sure everything will be as we planned. So let's gayao together :)

Love you.

one fine Sunday.

2007-11-05T09:19:00.000-08:00

Opening of Toronto Raptors v.s. Boston Celtics

Got up at 830am for the St. Lawrence Antique Market on Sunday. It's like the flea market on Hasting but the items are clean and more expensive. The happiest thing to start the day was we bought White Mocca and Hot Apple Cider from Second cup for just CAD$1. The lady who worked in the morning was too nice/stupid to give us back CAD$19 for the change. After the market, we did some shopping in Winners and Queen Street. Had hotdogs for lunch then headed to ACC for the basketball game at 230pm. It was our most excited game ever in this year. Let's go raptors!

ROM.

2007-11-03T09:18:00.000-07:00

Pretty enjoy the half price trip in Royal Ontario Museum. We toured around in the museum from 430 until 930pm and they have live musical performances on every Friday.

cooking mama.

2007-11-02T08:39:00.000-07:00

Had dinner with J's friends (Wendy, Catherine and Dolly) on Saturday in an Italian restaurant where is just 5 minutes walk from our place. We ordered 4 different of appertizers (mussels, calamari, escargot and italian bread), my entree was very salty Rigatoni with bacon and dried tomato and J ordered seafood pizza. The food is just ok. No picture available since I forgot to bring my camera. After dinner, we had HK style dessert.

boo!!

2007-10-31T08:39:00.000-07:00

Woooooooo tonight is going to be the creepiest and spookiest night ever. Will go to Halloween Haunt in Wonderland, from 7pm until midnight. There are 10 bloodcurdling haunted mazes where over 300 creatures that prowl the grounds, plus 20 thrill rides all under the cover of TOTAL darkness. Ahh can't wait to be scared.

More fun? Volume up your speakers.

p.s. Honey thanks for the night, I had so much fun.

Xuan's first trick-O-treat! Awwww so cute!

So bro, keep your look until next halloween.

what a prank.

2007-10-30T10:33:00.000-07:00

Haha happy halloween!

bloody ooomu-rice!

2007-10-30T10:07:00.001-07:00

2 thumbs up for mommies.

2007-10-29T14:01:00.000-07:00

You go girls, Elly jie & Xuan, Elisa & Viola!!
Can I join you guys after baby boy is born? Anyway you will need a maid to take care of Xuan . :p

fresh and yummy.

2007-10-28T18:24:00.001-07:00

My very first homemade congee.

J's lunch box on Monday. Which flavor is your favorite?

we'd fight but never lose.

2007-10-26T08:36:00.000-07:00

Because.....

We went for shopping on Tuesday. Thanks honey for the breakfast; Lunch, McDonald's; Dinner, Famous Fishball noodle in Chinatown.

Basketball night on Thursday. Lunch, leftover clam chowder and curry; Dinner, Viet Pho and Spring rolls in Chinatown; Supper, Cinnamon Pretzel.

This is why our losing weight plan, FAILED. Hahahaaa. And darn, I'm so addicted to BACON, will definitely finish one pack by this weekend. Still have 2 packs in our refrigerator. So here, thanks Costco for making us fat.

happiness life.

2007-10-21T21:14:00.000-07:00

Result of Your choice of 10 things to be included in "Happiness life".

Soul mate
Family, Car
Computer with internet, Camera, Air-con/heater, Cable TV
Bathtub, Toilet bowl, House with ocean view, Television

Ok, this is ridiculous.

J said, "my happiness life must include WATERBED and THEATRE SOUND SYSTEM."

pig-out this weekend.

2007-10-21T20:55:00.000-07:00

J gained 6lbs and I gained 3lbs in 3 weeks. We plan to eat like crazy in this weekend. BECAUSE WE DECIDED TO GO ON DIET!! Start on next Monday.

Thursday

These were what I cooked in an hour. So proud of myself. Hoho. Thanks for Toe, the site is great, the pudding is ok. Haha.

Friday

When I said pig-out, I mean it. After read Elisa's blog about the Paella, I tried it myself on Friday's night. Different recipe, but taste good too. There are only 1/3 left for the next day ( I use 14" frying pan, imagine the portion). We ate too much for dinner, but seemed like we don't care. Haha. Dessert we had was Grapefruit and Coconut milk with sago and mini rice balls (black and regular glutinous). Whew. We were so full, and so fat.

Bowling here (especially during daytime) is really inexpensive. So much cheaper than playing in Richmond. It is about CAD$1.75 (tax included) per game.

Went to Costco and spent an hundred on foooooooooood and water. Yes, picky J only drink spring water, not tap water. So we have to use our own "stroller" to bring them home from parking lot. Hmmmm this is why I prefer house to condominium now.

Saturday

Due to technical problem of Blogger, couldn't upload the pictures right now. Nothing much for today, just sleeping, watching VCDs and hockeys, playing wrestling, cooking and non-stop eating. J finally mentioned that she must lose some weight. Good for her but she wouldn't want to do any exercise. Boooooo her and Blogger.
[picture update]

Sunday

Sunday is always slower so I feel I eat more than usual. Been non-stop eating the whole day while J is studying. BUT surprisingly, I lost 2lbs today. Waahahahaa. Oh well, we will still go on diet, it starts tomorrow. NO MORE RICE, honey!

p.s. Almost lost my finger today. So YOU better treat me gooooood now.

korean lunch box week.

2007-10-17T09:34:00.001-07:00

J's lunch box today, Korean KimBap (Korean rolls).

Her lunch box for tomorrow, Gal-bi (Korean BBQ Beef).

The last night's supper.

Hope we won't get really fat *cross our fingers.

what else? of course food again.

2007-10-15T20:53:00.001-07:00

Finally, finally bought cranberries and made my own cranberry sauce. Been so addicted to Turkey Cranberry Sandwich since I first tried it from Save On Food. It was so easy to make and the portion would allow me to have Turkey Cranberry Sandwich for the whole 2 weeks.

Prepared J's lunch box. This is what she will have for tomorrow, 'Oi Sum' Onigiri.

i'm driving allbymyself in TO!

2007-10-15T13:22:00.000-07:00

Woooooo, dropped J off at school today in the morning, then went to Wal-mart, Korean supermarket, T&T, and H&M. It's not that scary to drive on the highway here though. And I didn't get lost. Hehe.

Refrigerator now is all filled up. Never been so packed before.

Bought this cute little red riding hood jacket for Xuan's birthday from H&M. Very berry good deal. Can't wait to see her wearing it and playing with snow.

lemon chicken wings.

2007-10-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

yummy yummy :) and happy that J will bring it to school tomorrow.

Packed fruit, sandwich, and rice for J. Have a good day in school, honey. (This is why her diet never work.)

happy saturday.

2007-10-14T13:04:00.001-07:00

Because the pipe hasn't fixed yet. So we had lunch at the Korean food court, finally tried the black bean noodle, which almost everyone there ordered it. After that J went back home to study, and I spent the afternoon @ Wendy's place. Drank Apple Cider I bought in Quebec (just a normal apple cider, bleh) and baked cheesecake. Then got back home at 6 to have sushi dinner with J.

p.s. We've been waited for 1 day and 12 hours, the plumber finally came at 830pm. Whew.

if you can guess what that is..

2007-10-14T13:00:00.000-07:00

..on our head.

p.s. Poor J, hahahahaaaa.

friday night.

2007-10-13T11:54:00.000-07:00

Disaster!! After I finished preparing all the food for hotpot, we found the pipe of the sink was leaking!!!! Couldn't wash the dishes and cook until the next evening.

Had a great night with you, Wendy :) First time to make coconut sago dessert. It was so yummy, thanks Wendy! Poor J was forced to trim her eyebrows. But you looked great now, honey!!

2007-10-11T21:06:00.001-07:00

p.s. By the way, I didn't force J to dress like this. Actually she was the one who suggested it.

all about food.

2007-10-11T20:23:00.001-07:00

Dedicated to Bro:

Malay Thai Famous Cuisine (@1st Marhkam Place): Mango and chicken & Special Rice Noodle (Wak Dan Ho tastes so like hometown and even have that green sour chili).

Food I cooked in this week.

Bonjour Quebec City: Day 1

2007-10-10T10:54:00.000-07:00

We planned to spend our Thanksgiving long weekend (4D3N) in Quebec City, which is about 9 hours drive from Toronto.

Bonjour Quebec City: Day 2

2007-10-10T10:30:00.000-07:00

Bonjour Quebec City: Day 3

2007-10-10T10:22:00.000-07:00

Bonjour Quebec City: Day 4

2007-10-10T10:20:00.000-07:00

After 4 days in Quebec City, here are some tips for you:

Quebec City is smaller than Montreal but you definitely need a car to get around if planned to go outside the city. There's no subway.
Parking is cheap. CAD$9 whole day on Saint-Pierre (Vieux Port). All the attractions are walking distance. (I don't mean the street parking, CAD$1/30mins.)
Go outside of the city, explore the nature! Go see the snow geese! Go hiking!
Food is cheap. For example, a set dinner costs only CAD$35 (tax included but not the tips)
Tips definitely 15%
Reservation for dinner is a must! Because it's either no more table after 6pm or have to wait until after 9pm.
Must try Rabbit (taste like chicken), Duck+foie gras sausage (very juicy and very tender), and fries (hmmmmm) from Le Cochon Dingue.
Wear something comfortable (especially shoes).
Make sure that your battery in camera is fully charged before leaving the hotel!!

Home sweet home.

2007-10-08T22:15:00.000-07:00

Finally home after 10 hours of driving.
Pictures will be uploaded after Tuesday.

I am sure everyone has a happy thanksgiving :)

Parisian: Christophe Willem

2007-10-07T18:19:00.000-07:00

Saw Christophe from one of the French channels in Quebec. Love his feminine vocal and think I am in love with this song.

do you drool?

2007-10-04T12:16:00.000-07:00

I've been a drooler probably since I was a kid. And now I'm 26, and always wake up to a moist pillow (I KNOW IT IS PRETTY GROSS), drooling seems to occur all the nights. Seems like I've just grown a custom to it and never really paid any attention until J mentioned about it. Is it a sickness? Or symptom of any disease? Oh well I know it is disgusting if you still drooling when you are not aged 2 anymore. Bro said Ava never drool. Pffffff shame on me. But come on, I can't help it!! This morning I was wondering is there something I can take that will stop myself from drooling? Or at least keep my mouth shut during sleep. So I went online and found this: Sal-Tropine, which prevent hygiene problems and remove social barriers for those concerned about drooling and/or excess saliva.

Do I need it? Or, masking tape??

concert: dirty on purpose/fujiya & miyagi.

2007-10-04T10:35:00.000-07:00

Had dinner at Sushi On Bloor. Tried their Mango rolls, Ginger Wasabi rolls, Spicy Tuna Crunchy, and University rolls. Cheap and yummy! The concert started at nine @ Lee's Palace with special guest, Dirty on Purpose from NY. Fujiya and Miyagi, a british trio that pretending to be Japanese, play the finest electronic meets Krautrock sounds, which makes your assss shake till no tomorrow. Like the vocal, he has so many gestures and moves and sing like a rapper. Cute!

the necklace for J.

2007-10-04T09:25:00.000-07:00

About half an a year ago J saw this Stainless Steel Kaleidoscope tube bar necklace in store and it costs CAD$70! Then we went to the store again in July, it was sold. She has been mentioned to me several times about how much she misses and loves it. So I decided to search and buy it from ebay. Weeeeeeeeee! It arrived yesterday, finally, after I've waited 2+ weeks.

p.s. Leehom wore the exact necklace in his Forever Love MV.

Dedicated to gay bro: indian food.

2007-10-04T08:53:00.000-07:00

We went to this Indian restaurant in Uptown, which is 25 mins drive from J's place, just for him. Bro has been mentioned one Indian restaurant for several months to us. It was a restaurant that he likes while he still lived in TO 15 years ago. Then we heard from a friend said that it moved from Yonge Street to Uptown. So we tried the famous Biryani as he said and Seekh Kebab. Guess what, the Biryani is just so-so and ended up he said it's not the one he mentioned. Booooo. The funniest thing is we found out that the restaurant has a branch just right across from J's place which is less than 5 mins drive. Grrrr..

to my lil bro.

2007-10-03T09:23:00.000-07:00

Happy 23th birthday!

egg rules.

2007-10-02T16:34:00.000-07:00

YAY! Finally succeeded in steaming eggs. Somehow was craving for yam and rice ball. Made some for siuyay and added in rice.

steaming egg.

2007-09-30T10:41:00.000-07:00

I tried steaming eggs again. AND failed again. Bleh. The Coke Chicken Wings, wasn't bad but didn't have the taste of Coke at all. Haha. Luckily the soup is always that good.

scotiabanknuitblanche.

2007-09-30T09:48:00.000-07:00

We had dinner at All Star Wings & Ribs with J's friends on Saturday. This place is really nice since you can taste different levels of hot for the wings. We ordered 50 wings ranged from 2 to 5 stars. The 5 stars wings called Suicide. Guess what, it's really feel like dying: your lips and tongue are burning, you can feel they are swollen after 30 secs, they don't belongs to you anymore. The interesting thing is if you order the extinction level, you have to sign a waiver for it. Woohooooo.

After dinner, we headed down to downtown at 11pm for an event called Nuit Blanche. It is a free contemporary art thing started from 703pm until sunrise. There were 425,000 people wandered around and appreciated all kind of art works: installation, performance, gallery, music, videos, etc. Of course we didn't stay till 7, we walked like 3.5 hours and got back home at 3am. Freaking tired. Since we were out at noon. The next day we couldn't feel our legs at all. We were in desperate need of massage!

bomb? nah.

2007-09-30T08:17:00.000-07:00

The subway station which less than 3 mins walking distance from J's place closed after a bomb hoax on Saturday. News here.

the soup.

2007-09-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

Wahaha. Tried to make Papaya Chicken Soup today. But I wrecked J's pot. Wonder when will I burn her kitchen. Woohuuuu.

Today isn't a good day for me to enter the kitchen. Oh well, maybe I shouldn't go into the kitchen at all. Bro said it's a sign that I've been rested too much. Bleh. Anyways. First I wrecked the pot, then I forgot to put oil while cooking veggie, overcook the steam egg, and also too much water for the rice (it's porridge wannabe now). Poor J still finished all and had 2 bowls of soup. Honey, muah.

forgiveness flower.

2007-09-27T22:45:00.000-07:00

Thank you honey.

But I hope there's no next time.

Sorry honey for these days. I made you angry and cried. I said a lot of things that hurted your feelings. I will not be an ass again. Thank you for coming here... You cooked for me, cleaned my place, helped me reorganized my place. Thanks you for everything :)

I love you very much , honey! :O

maple leafs vs buffalo sabres.

2007-09-26T21:05:00.000-07:00

Leafs suck!! We spent Wednesday night watching our first live hockey, Toronto Maple Leafs against Buffalo Sabres dropping a 2-7 game. Was fun and we pretty enjoyed the hockey fights, been waiting the whole night just for that. Haha.

p.s. Mike Myers was shooting his new movie, The Love Guru (Summer 2008), during the breaks. See how they played without the puck and us screamed of joy.

life in toronto.

2007-09-25T07:46:00.000-07:00

Aww, see how beautiful the Fall is. But TO is still as hot as in the Summer. Bleh. I am still wearing shortsleeves and still sweat like a cow during daytime. Weird thing is, J got a cold yesterday. She was sick again! You know the same routine, all the sneezing then nose bleeding. We were saying she is allergic to me.

We went to Winners on Sunday. "Forcing" J to get this leather jacket. It fits her perfectly. And for a leather jacket it's quite cheap, under hundred tho. Love this combo - J and leather! Weeee.

Here, we wish everyone Happy Mid-autumn Festival!!

cool stuffs from Fredflare.

2007-09-19T14:21:00.001-07:00

Let me know if you saw any of these in Vancouver.

First comes stability of the relationship, then comes.....the blues?

2007-09-18T22:10:00.000-07:00

I don't know what's wrong with me after things are getting better and settling down with J, I am supposed to be happy, I tell myself, but instead I am down today and sometimes (happened twice in a month already) find myself fighting the tears. I was cranky tonight and ended up with an unhappy phone call. After cleaned my bathroom thoroughly and took a shower, I called her up. And I cried. I just feel like I am deprived of her right and happiness to be with guys, and even deprived of her right to wear dresses. Can she really stand my temper/pms/drool for the next 5+ years? Is she really happy while being with me? Am I good enough for her? Will she still love me this much later? Will she get bored of me? Or do I bore her? What if her family hates me? What if her mom never talked to her again after found out about us? et cetera et cetera. And oh wow, we are really a L couple now. I know she must think I'm silly.

Well well well, maybe as J said, I am just experiencing some sorta post pms right now.

Anyways, I love you.

the itinerary.

2007-09-18T18:59:00.000-07:00

I'll be staying in TO for 1 month and 3 weeks.

2007-09-16T00:57:00.000-07:00

I spent my whole Saturday night just to transfer my old blog to here. It was crazy, I know. But I have to since Blogger has bigger MB space and can directly upload videos. So I am sure it's worth it to spend hours for doing this. And I love the cleanliness of this template. Neat. :)

missing J.

2007-09-15T23:24:00.000-07:00

Bad news, she left today and I miss her already. Miss being with her knowing everything is all right. But good news is I will fly to TO next week!! Waahaha.

the 80’s baby.

2007-09-14T23:24:00.000-07:00

Oh my god, she is adorable!

the boathouse.

2007-09-14T23:22:00.000-07:00

I was craving for rare Ahi Tuna since the last time I tried it in Sandbar. But this time we went to The Boathouse instead. Their Pepper seared rare Ahi Tuna was SO pepper. I still miss Sandbar’s Ahi Tuna. Anyways. It was a great evening and love the time while J hung out with my family.

Thank you, J. I love you and I think my family will too. =)

karaoke and baby.

2007-09-13T23:59:00.000-07:00

Daiso has been mentioned about sing K for several times. So we decided to go all sing with Ava. Haha. It was fun. She did all the tricks she can and had fun on her own in 3.5 hours without crying or feeling cranky.

ava, the pooh.

2007-09-13T23:19:00.000-07:00

ava and her drink.

2007-09-12T23:17:00.000-07:00

Babysat Ava when Daiso was out in the morning for her doctor’s appointment. See how relaxing she was while Mom wasn’t home. And see how much fun she had with her drink, she even know how to balance it on one of her knees. Smart eh!

Haha. See how she begged for food but couldn't concentrate.

hiking: deep cove

Our second hiking, hardcore one. It took us 1.5 hours + 40 minutes of resting to finish the trail. So proud of us, and bravo! for Elisa and Viola. Although there were a little accident and got lost, you did it, 3rd time in a week. Haha. And thanks for the avocado sandwich. It was really yummy and fresssh.

picnic: english bay.

2007-09-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

Elisa, thanks for the fried rice, curry beef and salmon. We really enjoyed the meal and sunset. And thanks for the jumping pictures. J wants to print them out and frame them. :p

Q: What did Ava dress like?
A: Minnie Mouse!

clubbing: celebrities

2007-09-11T22:51:00.000-07:00

I think this would be the last time to go to Celebrities on Tuesday. Totally different group of people and music. The club wasn't that fun as before but we know how to have fun in our way. And this was the first time to go clubbing with J. So we went to Dennis to celebrate it. What an oily breakfast we had, but this was the highlight of the night. What I realized that night is, never live without your cellphone.

sick baby.

2007-09-10T23:14:00.000-07:00

Really have no idea how she got a cold. Tons of sneezing and rubbing the bridge of her nose almost the whole day caused her nose bleeding. Aww.

all eat korean food in landsdowne.

2007-09-09T23:12:00.000-07:00

If you got bored of having all eat sushi, all eat bulgogi isn't a bad idea. $24 for dinner/2 hours.

hiking: golden ears.

2007-09-09T23:10:00.000-07:00

My first hiking in 2007. It was an easy trail and only took us 1.5 hours. Love the scenery. Quotes what Elisa said, staying in Vancouver is the right choice. I am sure BC is a better place to live than in TO. At least there are more outdoor activities to do during Summer time.

p.s. One thing I want to say is, I AM SPORTY!!

nibble & bites.

picnic: rocky point park.

2007-09-08T23:08:00.000-07:00

45 minutes of drive to a normal park for picnic. It was fun while still can run like a kid through water and get wet, that was the highlight of the day.

the morph.

2007-09-06T23:06:00.000-07:00

JWL and B.S.

Thing you can do if you are bored: Morph

phone and J.

2007-09-05T23:01:00.000-07:00

I got a chance to try out the effects and frames in my cellular while waiting for Toe and KT. It turned out quite nice and fun. And thanks for J’s cooperation.

happy b!rthday to k.

2007-09-05T22:58:00.000-07:00

Hope You have a great night. The concert started at 945 and ended at 1am. It’s the most worth concert I’ve ever been to. Only $14 and there were THREE excellent talented bands. They rock!! I’m sure it’s much better than watching Justin Timberlake’s which was in the same night but at GM Place. Although it wasn’t that crowded, everyone did dance the night away and enjoy the music.

Some of the videos are in youtube.

VOTE: Who does J look like the most?

2007-09-04T22:57:00.000-07:00

butt enhancer.

2007-09-04T22:53:00.000-07:00

Ok, I’m sure people will be wondering what the heck is this. It’s not fruit with butt crack. It’s underwear with pads in it to help to enhance your assss. Yea, interesting eh. I found it in Zellers, forgot to check the price, it comes with 3 different colors: black, white and nude. There are more actual pictures here: www.buttforyou.com

biking in the rain.

2007-09-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

Hmm, J is addicted to biking. So being a good girlfriend, no matter it’s sunny or rainy day, I will bike with her. And I DID. Luckily we both didn’t get sick. The route was from my place to Steveston, the destination was Pajo’s Fish and Chips. It took 45mins to there (we spent sometime for scenery photo taking while on the way to Steveston: the birds, the turtles, the lotus, the cows, the berries, and the “orchestra”); and 30mins back home because of the rain so we had to bike nonstop and crazy. It was freaking tired. Guess what, that night we slept at nine.

Congratulation WooHo!!

2007-09-01T22:36:00.000-07:00

I totally could feel their tension and happiness. 10 years! How many couples can really survived from 10 years in a relationship? They did!! I felt honored to be there to witness the whole ceremony and shared the tears and laughes with them.

Wish Mr. and Mrs. Ho a happy married life! =)

p.s. Really nice packaging, Za, good job. And thank you for the red wine.

the seaweed.

2007-08-31T22:26:00.000-07:00

Fine. I’m a bad aunt. But, isn’t she adorable…..with the beard?

all about oyster.

2007-08-27T22:20:00.000-07:00

We went to Steveston Seafood House just for the $1.90 each/oyster!

drama queen.

2007-08-26T22:15:00.000-07:00

She ‘freaked out’ by filet-O-fish.

p.s. Obviously I don’t know how to hold my cell. Bleh.

2007-08-26T22:11:00.000-07:00

za’s bachelorette party!

2007-08-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

We had the dinner at Guu in Gastown. It was SO much fun. 15 people/the nonstop supply food and alcohol/the before-and-after-za/the dare-the-bride-game/Mr.P straw. Za, I wish you happy!

i heart marc.

2007-08-22T21:41:00.000-07:00

I am falling in love with Marc by Marc Jacobs. How pretty they are. I love the little details of the totes. The creases and luster of the leather. The tags on the handles. And the prices are quite pretty too. So, forget about them. But I can get the wallet instead. Reasonable price and I always want to own a Marc. This is what I can afford for now. Yippee!

girlfriend’s girlfriends.

2007-08-22T21:40:00.000-07:00

I don’t get along with all my girlfriend’s friends! And I don’t want to get along with them!! I truly understand that girl friends are an important part of every girl’s life. My girl friends are important to me as well, BUT we don’t disturb each other’s life OR do/say anything to get involved in other people’s relationship. Most of her friends doesn’t like me; I know I am egotistical and ethnocentric, which is a little harsh but exactly true. Whatever. I believe the best in people, I try to convince myself that her friends are only looking out for their best friend, and perhaps perceives the worst in me because they desires the best for their friend. I am not exactly “Miss Political Correctness” but sometimes I just couldn’t not to be one whenever the conversation involved them. I always say things that are contrary to the set of beliefs that J and her friends share. This may be one the reasons why they ain’t Pro-Willie. The bond between friends drives them to look out for the other’s best interests and to try to protect each other. If you love someone, you don’t want to see that person hurt. I know it is important to get along with close friends. We do plan on pursuing a long term relationship, BUT I don’t want to forever deal with her friend! The only thing I can do now isn’t to please them so that they’d like me, instead, I will have mutual love for each other with J. THEN her friends will become cognizant of that love, ultimately the best of friends will desire what is best for their friends. So, her friends may or may not like me, but IF they are true friends, they will put those feelings aside for the happiness of their best friend and stop bs-ing. Anyways, I will try to be the best person can be for them (at least try not to mention them in my lifeeeee). I don’t want the gang’s friendship to me is the sole problem in my relationship, never! By the way, they won’t be in her life forever. Humph!!

such a bea-u-tiful sunday.

2007-08-19T21:55:00.000-07:00

First of all, good to know that my sis A is feeling better and happy now. So proud of you! Had a great chit-chat with my sistas (if the pina colada wasn’t that freaking sweet, it’d be called a perfect night). Then 5 hours of sleep and got up at 10am for the Chefs of the Field in the farm around my place. We tasted some yummy food and enjoyed the morning sunshine. I guess I’ll call it a day for now. The rest of the day I’m going to sleep, read book, and watch dorama in my sweet comfy bed.

the diva.

2007-08-19T20:18:00.001-07:00

She sings: Woo woo song

She sings again: Pump pump song

the thought. the crowd.

2007-08-18T20:17:00.000-07:00

Woke up with a thought in mind, I am really living a lesbian life now. I don’t plan to have kids. Therefore, no kids no grandsons/daughters in my life. Only J and me. I am sure this is the only matter differ from straight couples.

Another thing is, we (including human beings and animals) live in a world that assumes everyone is born heterosexual, yet some are not ready or able to challenge this assumption. So when parents and siblings first hear the news, it may or may not make sense. They may have suspected the truth, or may be completely in denial. They may need between several days to several years to absorb the information and then to question, and then to absorb again. The questions flooding in their mind will be, “Why are you telling me this?” “Are you sure?” etc. Then they will ended up with a conclusion and solution, “What you are doing now is abnormal, so you must love men, marry them and have kids.” Coming out can hasten a period of rapid change for the entire family. It is normal for them to feel confused and even ashamed, then worried about our future. There are people are homophobia in this society, which they feel uncomfortable if they see two women locked in a romantic kiss, or two men holding hands. Luckily, we live in Canada, where a place has taken a progressive approach to equal rights for gays and share in almost every legal right afforded to people who are straight. We can’t control what others say. Do have people are immature and have a limited understanding of human sexuality that still can’t accept gays and lesbians. at. all. It is wrong, small minded and unfair, but it happens. So, our families might meet these people around them in the future. They have the same pressure as much as we are dealing. The only thing we can persuade our family is, love us then accept who we are, then we all will have a better chance of living a happy and healthy life. We know what kind of life is leading us to and we know what we are doing. I always believe that ignoring people who ain’t important make life much more easier. And our feelings give us our strongest clues as to who we are. We do not simply wake up one day newly born into our sexual identity; we grow-up over many years observing the world through the lens of our unique individuality. Especially we already met the one we loved. Our future and goals may be more difficult to achieve than others. If we receive strong support from people who love us, we will have an excellent chance of accomplishing anything we wish. Nothing is impossible. And we are really looking forward to it. =)

p.s. I love my family so much!

dogman!ac.

2007-08-17T20:10:00.000-07:00

We started to talk about dogs. Yeap. Me, talks about dogs. And know what, I started to pay attention to other dogs too. Just like yesterday, saw a man with his little cute pug walked past in front of me when I stopped for the red light, a man with his 2 macho husky at the dyke; I couldn’t stop looking at them for like 10 seconds. But, am I paying attention to dogs, or the men? Anyways. We kind of rounded up to get one out of these 3 in the future. I like Golden Retriever because they look smart, J likes Old English Sheepdog because they are cute and fluffy. Either one, J will have to take care of it entirely, and I’ll just be the playmate. This is what I called fair and equal. Haha.

shopp!ng.

Pair of very-good-deal-khaki.
Stussy wallet.
Got my actually-AMBER-color-vintage-glasses today. Omg, i look so like a nerd. And my eyes are 2X smaller than usual now. I will match it with my PJs look, so people will be WOWed if they saw me “before” and “after”.

[EDIT] Desmon and Daiso just commented my glasses “ugly”! So J better still falls in love with me in glasses.

getting attached.

2007-08-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

It is amazing, but if you really look closely you’ll realize that people are extremely private individual creatures. For all that we seem to want to boast and have ourselves become acclaimed, we still tend to bottle our truest and deepest feelings inside. We still need to take the time to understand each other and visa versa we could create a relationship of true closeness and intimacy. We wouldn’t feel the need to hide our real feelings, or keep our deepest dreams and desires hidden because we would feel safe, and not being scared, in the knowledge that each other would understand.

relationship can be fragile, but so what.

2007-08-15T20:02:00.000-07:00

Afterall, human beings are always selfish. It’s gene. It’s nature.
Choose what is the best for you and discard the worst.

Welcome to the reality.

Thank you for your patience and everything.

the Runaway Trip.

2007-08-05T19:38:00.000-07:00

The Spiegel Show. The best show I've seen in 2007 so far. Yes, it was an almost naked woman. There were like at least 5 almost-naked-women in this show.
Niagara Falls. All I could remember of that day is FREAKING HOT.
Ferris wheel @ Niagara Falls.
African Lion Safari which is just an hour away from TO. We drove through the Drive Through Game Reserve to past grazing giraffes, playful monkeys, and zzzzz lions.
The world class sunset @ Sauble Beach. It is about 3 hours drive from TO. And I made it to drive back home. So proud of myself that finally have the guts to drive on the highway in TO.
We drove past the Sunflower farm while on the way to safari.
Chinese Lantern Festival. We didn't really go in it. We took the pictures at the door instead and pretended that we did attend the event.
Homemade dinner. Our very first time to kill crab (Onion crabs) and shrimps (Eggwhite shrimp). Brutal but yummy. Next time we are going to kill geoduck.
Inniskillin Icewine.

So much thoughts going on.
Finally. Cut the string and craps. Leave the jerk. End the drama.

To the n.b. self,
Why not have some fun until something serious turns up? Right?
