I never thought this day would come. I’m burnt out from doing transcripts.
For the first time in my steno career, I’ve been inundated with transcripts for more than two months… I feel like I haven’t stopped editing or scoping transcripts without a full week in between to rest or have nothing at all Continue reading
Sunnyside Park, Toronto. May 2018
The most recent photo I took of some liquid:

Toronto, Canada. April 2018
Steno is on my mind this morning as I had just posted a great video explaining it on my social media channels. I’m an introvert so I really like watching others and observing what goes on in the world. At work, this is exactly what my “place in the world” is. I sit at the head of the table and I watch both sides of legal counsel duke it out. I don’t need to say anything. I simply watch, listen, and take down everything they say verbatim without judgment. My place in the world is a role as a Continue reading
Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, Toronto. April 2017
I feel like this week’s challenge of “unlikely” makes me think towards the more pessimistic side of things. You have to look for the unlikely chance of something happening, which is usually something negative. (I can’t seem to think of something positive right now at least.) In the aquarium where dozens of people visit every day and expect to enjoy the wonderment of the underwate Continue reading
King’s Noodle Restaurant located at 296 Spadina Ave in Toronto
April 13, 2018: We had a second dinner at King’s Noodle Restaurant (富豪麵家 ) in Chinatown after Otto’s Berlin Döner. I had been to this Chinese restaurant in autumn 2013 and fondly remembered their wonton noodle soups that were tasty and very affordable.
We walked in on a Friday evening and got a table immediately. There were so many other people here too. It really is a popular spot for traditional Chinese food Continue reading
Otto’s Berlin Doner located at 256 Augusta Ave in Toronto
April 13, 2018: After the AGO exhibit, we went for dinner in the area. I had found a Berlin restaurant that had high reviews located on Augusta Avenue in Kensington Market.
Otto’s Berlin Döner was a small restaurant with a hipstery kind of vibe. It was a smart causal service where you ordered and paid for your food and could eat in or take out. In fact, we saw a lot of takeout orders during Continue reading
First time experiencing Kusama’s infinity mirrored rooms!
April 13, 2018: The Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the AGO was fantastic and definitely worth the money! I, along with thousands across the GTA, logged in early onto the AGO website on January 16 to get placed in line to buy a ticket. On the first day of ticket purchasing, I had completely forgotten about it and by the time I queued myself in the virtual line, I was 27,930th in place and Continue reading
Northern Dumpling Kitchen located at 550 York Regional Rd 7 in Richmond Hill
April 12, 2018: This was a substandard lunch. 
After an early day of work for me, my mom and I headed to Times Square at Leslie and Hwy 7 for lunch. We picked Northern Dumpling Kitchen 興隆軒 as we noticed through the restaurant windows that there were so many customers dining inside! If a place is packed for a random Thursday lunch time, it must be Continue reading
Restaurant L’Avenue, Montreal. August 2017
When I think of “lines”, I think of line-ups and usually the line-ups I have to wait in are those to eat in a restaurant. If a restaurant is popular and not just because it’s trendy — it’s because it’s actually good quality food and doesn’t take reservations — there will likely be a line outside its doors from the moment it opens business to when they close their doors (or when they run out of food, whichever comes first). Continue reading
Do Eat Chinese Restaurant located at 550 Hwy 7 in Richmond Hill
April 10, 2018: I had such an amazing dinner here that was so fitting for my taste buds! 😀 Every month at a certain time time of the month no matter how hard I try to eat clean and more veggies, I have an intense craving for salty and MSG-laded foods or fried food.
It was the end of a workday and even though I wasn’t massively hungry, I knew I wanted to eat out for some savory food. We arrived at Do Eat Chinese Restaurant Continue reading
