The Best Way to Skip a Stone. Oh man. You don’t know how happy I was to find this article. See, every time we come across a river or a lake, I always ask the boy to teach me how to skip a stone Amelié-style (he’s really good at it). He’s taught me a zillion…… Continue reading How to Skip a Stone

Every evening, at 7:30 PM, the boy and I would be glued to the TV watching “Jeopardy!”. Even when he was studying, the boy would take a break just to watch the show. He’s that much of a geek. Anyway, if you’re a “Jeopardy!” junkie yourself, you must’ve heard of Ken Jennings, but how much…… Continue reading Jeopardy!

That’s just my way to say that these songs frequently get stuck in my head for hours or even days which drives, not only me, but also the boy crazy because when I have a song stuck in my head, I just can’t stop myself from singing it over and over again until it’s out…… Continue reading Favourite Annoying Songs

In case anyone’s still checking my weblog, I’ve been back in Canada since October 16. I just didn’t get around to updating this wee blog until today, mostly because I’ve been sick with a really bad case of cold even before I left Indonesia and I only started to feeling better yesterday. I still get…… Continue reading An Update, Finally!

I’m supposed to be flying back to Canada on Friday next week but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Well, I will fly back to Canada this month but probably not next Friday because I still have so many things to do prior to my departure. Anyway, knowing what a huge procrastinator I…… Continue reading To-Do List

Today would’ve been my mother’s 61st birthday had she still been alive, but she passed away last year after being in a very poor health for almost a year, only a little less than two months before her 60th birthday. I can still feel the sadness every time I see other people hanging out with…… Continue reading Happy Birthday, Mama!

So I’m back home again. Well, I’ve been home since the 18th but I just didn’t really have anything to post. But now I actually have something to post because, after being stuck with a pair of glasses with lenses as thick as the bottom of a Coke bottle for 8 years, I finally got…… Continue reading New Glasses!

Well, today is my last day in Canada. In less than 8 hours, I will leave Toronto, Ontario, Canada for London, England. I’m going to miss so many things about Canada: the wide open space, the friendly people, the car headlights in broad daylight, the huge number of red trucks on the street, the dollar…… Continue reading The Last Day

I’ve decided to restart my weblog with a fresh Movable Type installation, a new design, a new site structure, and a new format. Whether the old entries will be imported into the new installation or not will depend on how much space I still have left when everything has been set up properly. The redesign…… Continue reading A Fresh Start

The Amateur Gourmet’s Thursday Therendades really made my day. I downloaded all the songs and played them while I was cooking. It made my cooking today felt more interesting. The “Anti-Chopsticks” song has got to be my favourite of all. Why? Because I can’t use chopsticks! See, when I was in Toronto a couple of…… Continue reading Chopsticks Are Evil
