As much as I want to pepper this post with my usual [lack of] wit, I’m pretty tired. I didn’t get much sleep last night after the Wedding and Reception. Let’s just say that the wedding was delightful and wonderful, and the reception that followed was tasteful, funny, and all-round entertaining.

Congrats to Liz and Chris. My best wishes to both of ( Read more... )

Oh…where to even begin with this silly issue that isn’t a simple regurgitation of what’s already been stated. For those of you who don’t already have a good grasp of the situation, I’d refer you to here and here [courtesy of ink_13], as well as here [courtesy of UW's Daily Bulletin]. Also, I’m sure you’ll find plenty of discussion across Twitter, ( Read more... )

For reference, I haven’t stopped taking pictures, but I am just taking my sweet time getting them back up on Flickr. They’re there now.

Ah…my sorry attempt at staying awake on my flight back from Beijing. Let’s see how cogent these thoughts will become; maybe there will be a few gems I can use in a real post another time. Who knows though - I’ve been up for a good 26 hours already, and I won’t be in bed for another 2? Ah well…

The final leg of my power drift in Asia was anything ( Read more... )

Today was a long one - woke up before 6 [that sounds familiar] and went out for breakfast dim sum with my grandfather and parents. Good ( Read more... )

I’m safe and sound in Hong Kong - at my parent’s place. It’s definitely been a hell of a day.

The flight across the Pacific was done in one of those fancy new Boeing 777s, where there is noticeably more legroom and personal space as compared to my previous intercontinental flights. This was a huge plus. On the down side, it seems like the extra ( Read more... )

It’s been a while, and I wish I had more to say. But I don’t, so let’s leave it at that.

I’ll be travelling quite extensively next week [YYZ-->HKG-->PEK-->HRB-->PEK-->YYZ, for those who understand airport codes]. I’ll definitely be taking tons of photos, and I’ll try to upload those on the road if I get net access.

It’ll be a rough trip, but I hope ( Read more... )

Took a chance last night, and decided to hit up the Toronto International Film Festival [TIFF] for Rush Tickets. I hear from ellie_bellie that it’s been hit and miss for the last few years, and that’s with pre-selecting tickets weeks in advance.
