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
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
I’ve been doing a lot more exercise lately, both to improve my own health and also because I’m finding out more and more fun ways to work out. I’ve still been going to my Zumba classes weekly (sometimes 2-3 times a week) just because it’s so darn fun. I know almost all the dance moves in the songs now compared to when I first started and was flailing around all over the place. Dancing to the beat of high energy songs is just way too much fun.

Close-up of the Okonomiyaki Fries
I’ve heard a lot about this place and have frequently seen my friends post up food pictures from Shiso Tree Cafe so I thought it was high time that I went to check it out as well. It is a small cafe located in Japantown in Markham. Continue reading
Pork Katsu at Fin Izakaya
Today, for the first time ever, I ate at a restaurant all by myself! Up until this point, I’ve always dined with at least one other person out in public and the thought of eating alone always made me a little uncomfortable. Today, circumstances allowed me to eat alone, and I actually really enjoyed it! I was so pleased with the me-time that I even splurged a bit while I was eating at Fin Izakaya. Haha, let me tell you what I ordered for one. 🙂 Continue reading
Hello there..
I ate a scorpion today!!!!
Today we didn’t do too much; it was the only day where we had only one event in the itinerary. After a so-so breakfast (they had hot milk and sausages on a rolling grill), we went to the Lord Mengchang Mausoleum where it was so hot that even when we were standing there listening to the people talk, we were sweating. Continue reading
Daming Lake
Today we went to Daming Lake and Confucius’s mansion, temple, and cemetery. Daming Lake was nice and lunch was really good too since the presentation of the food looked really nice and there was a live performance too. The rest of the day was filled with incredible heat and humidity. I sweated through my 5-short… Continue reading
I started blogging on a whim on March 21 of this year and holy mackerel, last night, I published my 100th post! Woohoo! Time flies and it’s been a good 7 months with weeks of travelling abroad, several new steno adventures, a sprinkle of musical outings, fun volunteer experiences, and of course, TONS of food posts!

Dong Kee Chinese Restaurant in Scarborough.
Menu, restaurant signage, soup of the day that comes with every dinner order (usually pig intestine soup).
Dong Kee located in Scarborough is one of my favourite go-to Chinese restaurants to dine at. The food is good, the prices are cheap, and the portions aren’t big so that you can order more different dishes to share. It’s a straight-forward and typical Chinese restaurant so don’t expect fancy china or exceptional service. Continue reading
Combination Soon Tofu (with shrimp, mussel, and beef) & Hot Stone Pot Rice. $7.53.
Located at 5445 Yonge Street in Toronto
This is one of the busiest Korean restaurants in the Yonge-Finch area in Toronto. It’s essentially in Koreatown since most of the eateries and entertainment are Korean-owned. A group of us from the Mon Sheong group met up tonight to have dinner at Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. Continue reading
