Restoran Malaysia located at 815 Major Mackenzie Drive East in Richmond Hill

Wow!  I was so impressed with Restoran Malaysia!  I had been eyeing this restaurant for a while now seeing that it was the restaurant in second place on Urbanspoon in the Richmond Hill neighbourhood.  It just so happened that I was looking at the daily e-mail that Groupon sends me, and the top deal of the day was for Restoran Malaysia.   Continue reading

Just before my friends and I had a sweaty bootcamp workout at Flirty Girl Fitness, we had a quick but delectable dinner at WVRST. We’ve heard good things about this place and I found that it met my expectations. Continue reading

A Tremendously Informative Job Shadowing Experience!

Today, I shadowed with another court reporter.  Yay!  Today was also the first time that I rode on the GO Train to Union Station to get downtown.  Woohoo!   The main reason was to ensure that I got downtown nice and early and avoid any potential TTC delays…(my most recent delay was not fun!)   Continue reading

Golden Horse Restaurant, a Hong Kong Style Cafe

I’m not sure why there are so many Chinese restaurants that like to start off their restaurant name with “golden”, but it’s kind of amusing when you think that they probably want their business associated with the word “gold”.  Also, it’s interesting that the name of this restaurant in Chinese translates to “Restaurant of Macau”.  Anyway, Golden Horse Restaurant is a casual cha chan tang restaurant that serves breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch, or dinner sets.  Everything that you order is usually accompanied by a tea or coffee, and if it’s a lunch or dinner combo, you also get a soup of the day.   Continue reading

Colours of Hope: Completing My First 5K

October 19, 2013

I did my first ever 5K yesterday as part of the Canadian Cancer Society Colours of Hope 5K event!  When I first received the e-mail from the Canadian Cancer Society about the event back in September, I knew wanted to do it.  The event is similar to the very popular “Color Me Rad” one in which participants run through stations in the path where (non-toxic) coloured powder are thrown into the air.   Continue reading

The Return of Job Shadowing

It’s been a while since I’ve shadowed a court reporter on a job.  Today, I had the great opportunity to sit in with my friend and the girl who introduced me to stenography and taught me how to steno my first letters, punctuation, and word(s) on the stenograph!  It’s a big deal. 😉   Continue reading
