McRae Point Provincial Park, Ontario. July 2012
The definition of “serenity”! When you escape the city and go north into the depths of Mother Nature. On this clear summer morning, Steph and I got up at the crack of dawn to witness and capture this view. The water was so clear, the air was so crisp, and there was not a sound in the area.
Much Music Video Awards, Toronto. June 2017
Every year in June on Father’s Day weekend, the streets of downtown Toronto transform from ordinary streets to the huge stage and set for the Much Music Video Awards! I happened to pass by this year when the transformation was taking place and it was neat to be able to capture its in-transformation look Continue reading
Ken Oh located at 183 Dundas St W in Toronto
November 21, 2017: There are so many restaurants on Dundas Street that I have yet to try. Tonight, Grace and I tried out Ken Oh. It’s a restaurant that serves Japanese “spaghetti” or udon and rice bowls.
There were a decent number of customers here when we arrived at 5:30 p.m. The restaurant itself is rather small but comfortable enough to fit a lot of tables Continue reading

Unionville Curling Club located at 257 Carlton Road in Unionville
November 18, 2017: Yesterday, I tried curling for the very first time! 😀 I was first mesmerised by this sport back in 2006 when our Canadian team won the Olympic gold medal for the 2006 Winter Olympics (gosh, has it really been that long ago; it really feels like not long ago when my mom and I sat on the couch and watched them play that game).
Anyway, since then, I’ve always wanted to Continue reading
Quinoa Masala Meatballs in Romaine Lettuce Cups with Creamy Sweet Chili Sauce
November 16, 2017: As the last plate of this week’s order with Chefs Plate, I selected and made a vegetarian dish for the first time! Usually, I think that ordering the meat dishes are more worth it in value but since I’ve been enjoying more vegetables in my daily meals, this one was very unique to make and terrific to eat Continue reading
Chefs Plate: Thai Fish Curry in a Coconut Broth with Snow Peas and Lime Couscous
November 15, 2017: This was the first meal of this type from Chefs Plate that I made! It was a Thai Fish Curry in a Coconut Broth with Snow Peas and Lime Couscous. This was different since it was a broth and it was curry! I hadn’t made either one of these from any of the Chefs Plate recipes before. 😀
It had difficulty level of “easy” and a Continue reading

November 14, 2017: I’ve ordered so many meals from Chefs Plate now that I’m going to stop keeping count. For this order, we made Pork Bruschetta Burgers with Provolone Cheese and a Field Green Salad! This had a difficulty level of “easy” and a prep time of 25 minutes.
This recipe really was very simple and straight-forward to Continue reading
Growing an avocado seed into a plant
I remember a number of years ago when I was very into the practice of eating avocados and had so many of the large avocado pits laying around at home that I decided to plant them. I don’t remember what happened the the dozens of avocado plants that I successfully sprouted but recently terribly miss eating these awesome fruits and also growing their seeds into plants. Continue reading
Jingxi International Hotel in Changsha, China
September 16, 2017: For our fourth night in Zhangjiajie, Changsha in China, we stayed at Jingxi International Hotel. This was a hotel that was very close to the tourist area with lots of shops and restaurants. It looked so nice from the outside and had a large and spacious lobby area with lots of space and lounge chairs for guests Continue reading
