Large boardroom
On Friday, I had an examination at the office. For the first time, I was reporting in one of their biggest rooms that they had even though the number of scheduled number of people was slated to be 4 to 5. Four people showed up in the end. It was probably because it was the Friday before the long weekend and since there weren’t many jobs that day, they decided to put them in the big room Continue reading
Terracotta Army, Xi’an, China. July 2013
A part of the Chinese heritage includes these thousands of terracotta warriors that were made in the Qin dynasty as part of funerary art for the first Emperor of China to protect him in his afterlife.
I can’t ever forget the experience of getting to visit this in Xi’an, China when I was there four years ago. Continue reading
View from the 14th floor of the Financial Services Tribunal
Lately, I’ve taken the approach of preferring to work on my transcripts rather than blogging whereas in the past it’s always been blog posts before anything else to the point of staying up late until midnight or beyond to publish a post once per day. As some of you might have noticed — and as I know it myself — I’ve been lacking in the department of daily posts lately. It’s not that I’m uninspired — I already have a growing list of new backlogged posts already waiting for me to write and publish. Continue reading
Il Fornello located at 8851 Yonge St in Richmond Hill
As part of my very first #jojoinstameets from Jo and Joanna, it was hosted at Il Fornello where we had a fabulous tasting dinner and learned about their newest menu specials. This is a recap blog post about my experience at the event.
I had previously been to Il Forenllo on two occasions Continue reading
Good Catch Boil House located at 179 Enterprise Blvd, Unit M-109
On Monday, April 24, 2017, Yelp hosted an invite-only dinner party at Good Catch Boil House for Elite members. Up until this point, I had already been to Good Catch Boil House three times — the first time was to their media event, second visit was with Ken, and third visit was with my mom (second and third visits blogged here). Thus, I was well acquainted and familiar with what Good Catch Boil House was all about and I really enjoyed their food! Continue reading
Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, Toronto. April 2017
For this week’s photo challenge of “reflecting”, I picked this photo from my visit to Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada a couple of weeks ago. You can see the fishies reflected in the bottom of the tank against the light and lots of fishies reflected in each other (as they look the same). As we reflected on the fish swimming in this fish tank, we also reflected on what they were thinking and reflecting inside of their heads. Continue reading
The Loose Moose located at 146 Front St W in Toronto
There aren’t too many places on Front Street near Union Station which open very late at night so after we finally stumbled out of the underwater sea world at Ripley’s and were looking for a bite to eat, we ended up at The Loose Moose at around 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday. The Loose Moose is a pub that serves the typical pub food with lots and lots of beer on tap and drinks to go around. Continue reading
The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro located at 60 Wellington St E in Toronto
Before we ventured into the underwater sea world at Ripley’s, we went to The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro at St. Lawrence Market for some sustenance first. I wasn’t particularly hungry so we decided to share a burger. The WORKS Gourmet Burger Bistro is just one of several The WORKS burger joints in Ontario. It was my first time here even though I have passed by this intersection of Front Street and Wellington numerous times. Continue reading
Cacao 70 located at 485 Queen St W in Toronto
Cacao 70 is a chocolate heaven for those that like this sweet or bitter treat (depending on how you like your chocolate). Cacao 70 first started up in Montreal, Queback and since then have expanded to further locations across Canada and has two locations in Toronto!
I finally got to check out Cacao 70 about three weeks ago Continue reading
Queenstown, New Zealand. April 2015
Look out below! Danger! …Unless you have a bungy cord attached to you and are planning to jump into the river for an once-in-a-lifetime experience! 😛 …Which is what I did two years ago in an unforgettable experience tackling the bungy jumping experience in New Zealand at the site where it was first invented by A. J. Hackett. Continue reading
