Bay Street Hoops Basketball Tournament held at the University of Toronto Athletic Centre
March 24, 2018: I didn’t even know about Bay Street Hoops Basketball Tournament until Ken forwarded me the e-mail for the volunteer positions. It’s an annual charity event where money is raised to make sports more accessible to children and youth in Toronto. From their Continue reading
Bullocks’ Bistro located at 3534 Weaver Dr in Yellowknife
February 24, 2018: I had heard all about Bullocks’ Bistro in Yellowknife and definitely knew that I wanted to visit if I had the time to. I read about it both in Stephanie’s blog post when she went to Yellowknife and also when my mom read another blog post that said if you go to Yellowknife without visiting Bullocks, it’s like you never even Continue reading
Day 2 in Yellowknife with the aurora lights!
February 23, 2018: Day 2 in Yellowknife!
Today, I woke up around 9 a.m. which was surprisingly early considering I finally had a chance to sleep in. The sun streamed in at 9 a.m. Unlike what I had heard about and thought of Yellowknife, the sun does not only come out at the hours of 10 to 3 p.m. Instead, the daylight hours (at least while during our visit) were from 8:56 a.m. (sunrise) to 5:43 p.m. (sunset) — a later sunrise than Ontario but a similar sunset time. Continue reading
Thai One On located at 7750 Kennedy Rd in Markham
Mar 19, 2018: The girls and I had dinner at Thai One On after our original dinner location was unexpectedly closed that day. I had been to this location of Thai One On before but that had probably been more than 10 years ago. XD Nothing had changed inside the restaurant and by the looks of it, since they hadn’t changed anything up, it looked rather drab and old inside when compared to other restaurants these days that have a more refreshed Continue reading
Aaniin Community Centre and Library located at 5665 14th Ave in Markham
March 18, 2018: A few hours after our early morning KFC Cooking School and feast, we visited Aaniin Community Centre and Library in Markham. Aaniin Community Centre and Library is a brand new community centre in Markham that opened just a few weeks ago. Thanks to the TorontoLife article that alerted us to it. It’s about time that something like a new community centre is Continue reading
2018 KFC Cooking School located at 6055 Creditview Rd in Mississauga
March 18, 2018: Sometimes it pays to listen to the radio. It was only because I was listening to the radio while at home that I found out that the KFC Cooking School was accepting students this year! The KFC Cooking School is actually a one-day cooking workshop run by the official KFC brand where they teach you how to make the finger lickin’ Continue reading
A most lovely weekend getaway in Port Hope, Ontario
March 17-18, 2018:
This weekend was an absolute amazing time!!! I was so honoured and grateful that Jon from the Tourism Department of Port Hope reached out to me after discovering my blog posts on my past visits to Port Hope and the salmon run. He wanted bloggers and vloggers to come to Port Hope and recognize and share the sights and sounds of their small but very characteristic town. I was so happy to accept this Continue reading
Hong Kong. September 2017
I wouldn’t say this is my favourite photo of a sun set or sun rise, but it’s one that was memorable to catch because we were in the midst of hiking for four hours on the Tai O hiking route in Hong Kong when this happened!
The view was spectacular as the path was right up against the shoreline and ragged rocks. We actually had to be really careful when walking because Continue reading
Trattoria Gusto located at 1 Walton St in Port Hope
March 17, 2018: Trattoria Gusto is an Italian restaurant situated in a 19th century hotel in Port Hope. Our dinner reservations were made at 6:45 p.m. but since we were already in the area and ready to eat, we arrived at 6 p.m. We entered from the main entrance of the restaurant and discovered that their reception desk is actually past the bar (the restaurant is connected right to the Continue reading
Dreamers’ Cafe located at 2 Queen St in Port Hope
March 17, 2018: I had been to Dreamers’ Cafe in Port Hope once before on the last visit I was here when I was watching the salmon migration in the fall. When we were here last time, the cafe was packed with people and the line-up did take a while to reach the front since there was only one staff member working behind the counter. I remember we sat in the dine-in area afterwards to lounge which was so pretty and European (and Continue reading
