Hokuten no Oka Lake Abashiri Tsuruga Resort, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. October 2016
[Post-dated post]. Hard to believe that a little pool of water can give you so much relaxation, health benefits, and MOOD! One of the highlights of my trip to Hokkaido this past first week of October has been the onsen from the hot springs in Japan. It’s simply a pool of H2O, but when you soak into that hot, steaming bath water, the feeling is simply indescribable. Continue reading
Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. September 2016
[Post-dated post]. Literally just came back from Hong Kong a day and a half ago but I’m already missing it. This photo is of the Hong Kong skyscrapers and buildings from the 18th floor of the BP International Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Although I go to Hong Kong relatively often — about once a year — looking back at this photo, I really want to be back there again. Continue reading
Pokemon Go screenshot, Hong Kong. September 2016
Quest: What an easy and most appropriate photo theme for me this week! 😂 I’m currently on vacation in Asia and since collecting virtual reality creatures, called Pokemon, are region-specific, it is only here in Asia that I can capture something called a Farfetch’d. Continue reading

合益泰小食 Hop Yik Tai located at 121 Kweilin St, Shum Shui Po in Hong Kong
On the second day of Hong Kong in 2016, we went to 合益泰小食 (Hop Yik Tai) in Shum Shui Po on 121 Kweilin Street to have lunch. Apparently this place boasts the best cheung fun (rice noodles) in Hong Kong. I was excited to try it out. 😀 Continue reading

On my first day coming back to Hong Kong, we ate at Watei Japanese Restaurant for an early dinner (which fit well because I was experiencing jet lag and highly exhausted after an hour or so into the dinner). Watei Japanese Restaurant is located at Shop 133, 134A & 136C, 1/F, Cityu One Plaza, City One in Sha Tin. Continue reading
Potato Noodle Soup of Bai located at 8333 Kennedy Road, Unit 1077 in Markham
Even though I didn’t enjoy my first visit to Potato Noodle Soup of Bai, when I found out that they had opened a brand new full-service restaurant at Langham Square and we were conveniently in the area looking for dinner, we decided to walk in to try it out. The first location of Potato Noodle Soup of Bai appears in the food court on the second level of Pacific Mall. For those of you who want to read the review I did of that location, you can click here.

EdgeWalk on the CN Tower, Toronto. August 2011
In the summer of 2011 when the CN Tower first introduced its EdgeWalk program, my friend Rachel and I were one of the first to brave together to try this first “walk on the edge” on the 356-metre high tower, the highest free-standing tower in Toronto. We were literally walking, leaning over, peering beyond the city, on the edge! 😛 Continue reading

I’ve heard a lot about this dessert shop and finally had the chance to go! Continue reading
“FAME is FAKE
and it FADEs
and if you don’t know that,
then you’re F_ _Ked”.
Lol, sorry to use abrasive language, but that’s the quote I heard long ago that cemented to me what “fame” really is. It’s stuck with me all these years and it’s true. Fame is a mental state; doesn’t last long, and isn’t actually real. Continue reading
