Reptilia Zoo, Vaughan. March 2014
This week’s photo challenge was a little difficult for me to narrow down. What is a twist? It could be a twist of licorice, a twist of a plot in a story, a physical twist of a strand of hair or arm (painful!) or a twist in song and dance (Twist n Shout!). Continue reading

How many Hong Kong style cafes are out there in the predominantly Asian-populated communities of Markham, Richmond Hill, and Scarborough? There’s so many that I still haven’t tried them all! These restaurants feature dozens and dozens of delicious foods that are served with a drink or soup and are always cozy and affordable! Continue reading
Yay!
Yay! This was definitely something fun and challenging to accomplish!
When my friend Holly pitched the idea of doing a 10K to me and Joyce, I was quite hesitant. Actually, she pitched the idea to me after I ran my first 5K and second 5K’s. Both 5K races were really more fun than competition/full out running. Continue reading

Today, stenoodie launches their very first contest. Woohoo!!! This contest is open to anyone 18+ in the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area.

Sarah and I had dinner at Mei Nung Beef Noodle House which is located in First Markham Place — I swear, this place has so many restaurants around its outside mall strip that I still haven’t tried every single one yet!

One of the newest and most talked about restaurants at the First Markham Place plaza is this one: Aka Teppan. The first time I heard about it was when my friend Jason showed me a picture of the food that he had there, telling me I had to go there and try it out. Since then, I’ve seen it on other friends’ social media pages as well. (I’m telling you, social media is so powerful nowadays!). Continue reading
