Hearts all over.


A second I realize,
that there is another broken heart,
my broken heart no longer focuses on me.
Broken somethin' is trying to fix a broken somethin' else.
Is this truly caring, or is it just covering up?

Yet another year


As my blog turned 2,
I turned 26.

Getting older no longer seems as big of a deal as it used to be.
But I know that each year, I am surrounded with more love.

new year, new look


The blog turns 2 years old this month.
My blog needs a design renewal in respect for a new year 2012.
I don't have a resolution yet, but I will, when I need one.

Until then, I am appreciative of everyone who supported me in 2011.
Giving back will always be my goal for them.

dreaming about tomorrow; version 2012 in effect!
Wishing everyone a very very great year ;)

Sushi, love you long long time



There is a very humble sushi restaurant my parents always take me to whenever I fly home.
The owner a.k.a the master of Sushi chef, Mr.Suzuki is a sort of guy who looks very quiet and humble, but he actually cracks me up every time he opens his month.
His specialty is "tamago", this mouth-drooling tamago beats no other, but his sense of humour is definitely another reason that makes you want to go back.

See the pictures and get jealous.
They say "Seeing is believing", but in this case you gotta "Taste it to believe it" ;)

meat NOT focused


My lens decided to focus on the lettuce

Instead of the mouth-watering roasted beef.

Fine, lens. Be that way.

what's cookin' in my oven



My holiday spirit goes like this...

November 1st, stores put everything Halloween on clearance and the interior is newly decorated with holiday cheers. - I feel like it's coming too quick.

December 1st, it's getting really serious and I finally turn the radio off, because I can't take any more Christmas music.


December 15th, I am keeping calm and trying not to get swallowed up by holiday drinks at Starbucks and holiday promotions at Holt Renfrew.

And I drive home one night, and inevitably take my tree out of a box, which sat in the corner of my living room for the past 11 months.
And the next thing I knew, got carried away with a new theme (new ornaments) of this 6 foot tree, gave it a couple of days standing on its own, but after that, wrapped up goodies gathered around it, patiently waiting to be opened by my loved ones.



By December 20th, I am no longer overwhelmed or in denial of the fact that I decorate my Eiffel Tower shaped cookies with coloured icing until 3am on a week night.
Again, to be enjoyed by the people I love and appreciate.



For years, as a kid, holiday season was all about waking up that one morning to find a surprise underneath the tree. Anxiousness and excitement and restlessness and the indescribable happiness all swell up and the night always seems the longest.

Now I've grown and realized what I really enjoy is the 'giving' part more than receiving, things have changed a little.

But why is it, that no matter how old I get, there is no other morning in any other time of the year, that feels as precious as Christmas morning.
It's like a jewelry piece you only wear once a year...



Wishing everyone a very very happy holiday.
