The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, AGO, Ontario. April 2018
Prolific. Last Friday, I got to witness the artwork of a prolific artist, Yayoi Kusama! This is one of her best known works in the Infinity Mirrors series called “The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away”. With all of the LED lights and images reflected infinitely in the mirrors, this is the epitome of what “prolific” means! Continue reading
Shater Abbas located at 8141 Yonge St in Thornhill
April 4, 2018: We went to check out Shater Abbas, a Persian restaurant, for dinner. When I was researching for places to eat around this area of Thornhill, Shater Abbas had a website but not too many photos in general showing the restaurant’s interior or food taken by customers.
It is located in a strip mall with other local Persian businesses and also a Continue reading
Smash Kitchen and Bar located at 4261 Hwy 7 in Unionville
April 2, 2018: Tracy and I went to Smash Kitchen and Bar for dinner. Funnily enough I’ve been to Smash three times previously but all of those times were either for lunch or brunch; this was my first time there for dinner!
We arrived after 7:15 p.m. and were given a seat right away. As it was Continue reading
It’s never been about us.
We forget that we live in Mother Nature’s world on Planet Earth. We’ve spent decades up to this point hoarding and using her clean water resources, Continue reading
One Of A Kind Show 2018 (spring) located at Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto
April 1, 2018: This was my first time going to the One of A Kind Show and Sale!! I’d always seen their advertisements on the TTC and was curious about it. Apparently they have a couple of shows throughout the year like a spring and autumn one. This was the spring one.
Their spring 2018 session this year was Continue reading
Mandarin Restaurant located at 7660 Woodbine Avenue in Markham
March 11, 2018: I know there are a lot of Mandarin buffet restaurants across the GTA but this was my first time dining in one in the longest of years!
I was so impressed by the interior design of the Markham location (located on Woodbine near 14th). (I think I vaguely remember coming here when I was a child and it looked nothing like this fancy. Continue reading
Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant located at 4020 Finch Ave E in Toronto
March 9, 2018: For my mom’s birthday this year, we celebrated at the new location of Fishman Lobster Clubhouse (魚樂軒). I had been to their Scarborough location at Steeles Avenue and Silver Star Boulevard many years before this (that blog post is here) and remember fondly the gigantic seafood mountains that we enjoyed. Recently, Fishman Lobster Clubhouse has relocated from that location and moved to the intersection of Kennedy Road and Finch instead Continue reading
Spending the last day in Yellowknife with leisurely strolls through souvenir shops
February 25, 2018: I can’t believe that today was already the last day in Yellowknife and the trip has come to an end. For some reason, even though I was in Yellowknife and seeing the sights and sounds, it still didn’t feel like I was there for some reason in the last two days. Perhaps it’s because there were so many familiar stores and people (so many Asians all over the place) that it didn’t feel like I had left Toronto. Continue reading
Markham, Ontario. January 2018
When my avocado seed finally starts to awaken after a cold winter.
Although to be honest, I’m still waiting for full spring temperatures to “bloom” (get it?). It’s been a very cloudy and grey start of spring (not complaining though because I like cloudy skies). It won’t be until there is more sunlight streaming in and warm waves heating up these babies that they’ll fully start to sprout better. But at least they’re awake now and just waiting. Just me. 😀 Continue reading
Menya Fuji located at 3 Finch Ave E in North York
March 4, 2018:
I finally got to try Menya Fuji! It’s a ramen house that is located right at the corner of Finch and Yonge, which makes it so easy and convenient for any subway goer to stop by to check it out. I was also influenced by several IGers who posted photos of the ramen from Menya Fuji to come here — social media influence works. :] Continue reading
