“It’s the Day and the Night.” – St. Laurent Street Festival This is one of the reasons why I love summer in Montreal. There are always something going on in the city: street festival, where you can get cheap food to kill your cravings and clothes for stocking up your wardrobe just in time for […]
Having been in a game of patience/silence for the past seven days, I am now officially back onto my food therapy regime. So on day #N (because I just can’t remember which day it was), I woke up after 13 hours of sleep and had a sudden craving for ice cream. When it comes to […]

So right after I left Beijing, I became 2 wisdom teeth-less and have turned into a baby chipmunk for the past few days. This is my picture diary of how a baby chipmunk lives for the week. 1. baby food: a puddle of thick congee made with finely blended veggies 2. London fog habiccino at […]
Experienced the heaviest rain in 61 years in Beijing just 3 days ago and guess where I was on that Saturday morning: the Great Wall of China. It just wouldn’t stop raining but at least it wasn’t flooded there, unlike all the other areas in Beijing (including Peking University campus). The Saturday morning when I […]

I’ve been to the snack streets at Wang Fu Jing once and the food hasn’t changed since my last visit back in winter in Beijing. It’s those […]
Another picture diary time. I’m so ashamed of myself that I didn’t visit a single cafe (those franchised ones don’t count…..) / traditional Korean tea house when I was in Seoul, which was very unlike myself since I’ve always been a coffee person. I had even pictured myself in the little, cozy cafes and tea […]
Here’s the live reporting straight from Beijing! I’m currently doing summer school in Peking University with students from different universities around the world. This summer is the hottest one that I’ve ever had and when I walk under the sun I feel like either I’m on fire/sweating so much that I’m almost melted. So my […]
