My friend Grace and I finally had some quality catch-up time the day before my detox started. We ate lunch at a frequently seen — Oshio Restaurant — but rarely visited Japanese restaurant. The reason I say that is because I’ve passed by this plaza at Steeles and Don Mills plenty of times but never chanced to go in and try their food. Continue reading

Before my detox last week, I ate at this yummy restaurant! Bayview Court is an absolute favourite restaurant of mine that began in my early elementary school days. When I first blogged about it here, I mentioned that they used to reside in the Peachtree Centre in Markham. Continue reading
A room full of court reporters!!
I haven’t written anything on the topic of steno lately! Here goes. Tonight was Court Reporter Appreciation Night at my court reporting agency. It was all about networking, seeing all my court reporter friends and colleagues again, snacking on some hors d’oeuvres, learning about some new technology that can help us deliver better reporting services, and learning how to brand ourselves as better reporters. Continue reading
Essentially, I started my retox last night when a bunch of my friends and I went to City Hollywood Cafe for some wings and fries! Today is the first day of the month in the lunar calendar so my mom and I went out for some vegetarian food. Isn’t it funny that I just finished a week of detox eating all veggie food and I voluntarily chose to eat at a vegetarian restaurant today? You would think that I would want to immediately run out and eat lots of grains and meat products instead. Continue reading
Wings!!!!! (and fries with gravy)
Yay!! Day 7! We did it, team! We survived on just fruits and veggies for all 7 days of our 7-day detox! ^_^
Tonight, we celebrated together with 3 baskets of wings and food! Real food!

I have so much respect for vegetarians and vegans everywhere around the world after going through nearly a week of detox and eating just fruits and veggies. It is difficult to find different ways of preparing and choosing different veggies to eat! I still can’t wait to eat some solid meat tomorrow and enjoy anything I want again. 🙂 Continue reading
Today was a difficult day. Either it’s been said that the first day is the hardest, or the third day, or the fourth day, or the fifth day. With all these different opinions, I guess there’s really no set day to call it a “difficult” day for a detox. For me, Day 5 was a toughie.
I felt so sleepy, a little hungry, and irritated above all for most of the afternoon. Continue reading
Hong Kong. August 2009
Street life: This is a classic view of what Hong Kong looks like: Metropolis, urban, people, cars, traffic, noise, motion, never-ending activity, and a city that doesn’t sleep.
Homemade!
This is the first thing I’ve made from scratch in a long, long time: Broccoli and cauliflower mash for the fourth day of my 7-day detox! Woohoo! :O) We’re more than halfway through the detox now and I honestly don’t feel that starved or deprived of food. Of course, when I opened my cabinet this morning to find some cutlery, Continue reading
The green juice makes a comeback on Day 3 of my March detox! One of my very first posts as a blogger featured a green juice. Click and read it here! Back then, I went through a phase where I was addicted to juicing fruits and vegetables every morning since it was a fast way to get all my nutrients in one meal, or rather in one glass. Even though at the time, I had every intention of continuing to juice every single day because of its apparent health reasons, as with most sudden phases, they tend to go out sooner or later.
