About a month ago, I got hooked playing the Counting the Stars game. You might be, too. I just thought I’d post the link here in case any of you hasn’t discovered it yet. It’s pretty addictive. The funny thing about it is, if I concentrate really hard on the game, I would score less…… Continue reading Counting the Stars

Last weekend, we had supper at the boy’s favourite Pad Thai restaurant in Stratford. The restaurant is run by a Vietnamese couple. It was nothing fancy, but the food was good. Besides, you just can’t help but liking a place where the toilet is called the “lady + man room”. The restaurant lady immediately recognised…… Continue reading Fortune Cookies and Other Tales

I know I’m risking getting laughed at by the boy by posting this but I scored a 7/10 at the What’s that song? quiz Modest Mouse edition and a perfect 10/10 at the Bon Jovi edition. What can I say. I grew up with Bon Jovi singing cheesy songs in the background. Don’t tell me…… Continue reading Fun Music Quiz

Patently Silly is a website that showcases some patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that they found to be unique, useful, unobvious, or all three. In poetry. Be sure to check out the Sphincter Exerciser.

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!
