So I’m back home again. Well, I’ve been home since the 18th but I just didn’t really have anything to post. But now I actually have something to post because, after being stuck with a pair of glasses with lenses as thick as the bottom of a Coke bottle for 8 years, I finally got…… Continue reading New Glasses!

Well, today is my last day in Canada. In less than 8 hours, I will leave Toronto, Ontario, Canada for London, England. I’m going to miss so many things about Canada: the wide open space, the friendly people, the car headlights in broad daylight, the huge number of red trucks on the street, the dollar…… Continue reading The Last Day

I’ve decided to restart my weblog with a fresh Movable Type installation, a new design, a new site structure, and a new format. Whether the old entries will be imported into the new installation or not will depend on how much space I still have left when everything has been set up properly. The redesign…… Continue reading A Fresh Start

The Amateur Gourmet’s Thursday Therendades really made my day. I downloaded all the songs and played them while I was cooking. It made my cooking today felt more interesting. The “Anti-Chopsticks” song has got to be my favourite of all. Why? Because I can’t use chopsticks! See, when I was in Toronto a couple of…… Continue reading Chopsticks Are Evil

I had my first encounter with Canadian mosquitoes a couple of days ago when we were walking on a trail along the river that was leading to St. Jacobs. Apparently, Canadian mosquitoes are greenish (unless my eyes were playing tricks on me) and they attack you in big groups. They don’t play one-on-one, for sure.…… Continue reading When Mosquitoes Attack

In less than a week, my evil father is going to get married even though it hasn’t been a year yet since my mother passed away. He brought a woman home in March (he said he’d been selecting the new wife candidates only two months after my mum died) and since then he’s just been…… Continue reading Warning: Depressing Post

Do any of you still remember Kris Kross? You know, the kid rapper duo with their hit “Jump, Jump”? Well, apparently, one of the two occupants of this apartment is a big fan of Kris Kross. I’m not going to tell you which one, but that person is such a big fan that they just…… Continue reading Kris Kross Forevah!!!

You know what made me happy today? We finally got ourselves a wok. Yes, a wok! Man, living without a wok for 2 weeks was horrible. I had been looking all over for a wok in supermarkets for the past 2 weeks but to no avail. This evening Troy took me for a wok-hunting. Canadians…… Continue reading A Wok in the Clouds

So Troy and I went to see that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie this evening and I noticed another, um, fascinating (?) thing about Canada. The line for popcorn is actually much longer than the line for movie tickets! In fact, there’s no line at all for movie tickets. It’s always the…… Continue reading Harry Potter the Third

There is a couple of bugs in Firda™ v.1.31’s ultra-sophisticated system that still have yet to be fixed by our team of engineers. When Firda™ v.1.31 is placed among a lot of people, Firda™’s v.1.31 ultra-sophisticated system will automatically start running in mute mode. When someone chats Firda™ v.1.31 up, Firda™ v.1.31’s ultra-sophisticated system will…… Continue reading Technical Notes
