Happy feet happy soul

2011-09-29T00:52:00.000-07:00

Shopping spirit kicks in after a hard working day at work. Instead of the regular route to my home sweet home, I detour to the nearby Brentwood Mall. I was planning to get a pair of FITFLOP as my cousin Mei told me that she really love the flipflop. For beach lover, Havannas is your better choice because it is made especially to sand your beautiful feet. I actually ended up buying none of

Splittz Burger

The four of us decided to have burger meal this sunday to end the lovely sunshine week of Sep 11. Thus , we went to Splitz Grill at Main street. The store closes at 9pm and we reached there half an hour before the closing time. The store is unique and the aroma of the grilled juicy beef is breath taking. I especially love the friendly lady cashier who has so much energy and smile on her that

Starting September 11, 2011, I will be taking all my photos with the GF2. My cousin is kind enough to lend her precious DSLR to me so that i could experience photo shooting with a different kind of camera. Don't get me wrong, Canon, my very first DLSR does a great job and still do. However,I still love to take photo with different kind of camera and see how my camera profile will look like. If

farmpucino

Darling, can you order a cup of frap please? I am a coffee drinker. Love Chai latte too! The spice just spike me up when i think my job stress level is unbearable during month-end period. We visited a berry farm two weeks ago and i decided to have a frap/cappucino to spend my lovely sunday afternoon at the farm. My friend was freaking out for a while when she saw the menu board. "

Nerdy Keychain

2011-09-05T19:37:00.001-07:00

I used to be a keychain collector. Basically, there is no theme for my keychain collection. When i see something i like, i will buy it for others or myself. Few days ago, I was browsing the disney store at Metrotown and happened to see this key chain waving to me. Without a second thought, I decided to grab, pay and go! Now, don't ask me how much the keychain is. Just tell me how cute and

Making Wine for the first time

2011-07-09T22:22:00.005-07:00

Making our own wine? I never thought about making our own wine as there are many liquor stores around the Vancouver and buying wine is never a problem in our city. A friend who had made her own ice wine before, suggested that we try out the activity and see the fun of doing so. In term of complication level, it is zero effort when you first made the wine. However, picking the right wine-

Strawberry in season

2011-04-03T21:15:00.002-07:00

I love strawberry and i always cant get enough of it. The strawberry is in season now and you can hardly miss the juicy strawberry that cost less than $2 buck per box in the supermarkets. However, after going through 5 boxes of different brand, i still cant decide which brand has the best quality. In term of the size, they are almost equivalent. In term of the taste, most of them are not sweet.A

Irresistable Gadget

2011-02-16T22:07:00.005-08:00

Because I know your presence will add some special touch to my dull HP laptop. I know I won't regret of having you around. People, I am so right about it. The gadget definitely added some special atmosphere with the lighting on each petal! Love it!

Provoking Thought of Marriage life...from a single woman

When you are in love, you promise to love me till......I am always curious about the up and down, the love, the sadness, the craziness in a love relationship. When one makes his or her special vow, he or she promises to love each other till death make them apart. I love the statement but i would love my hubby to add this additional line... I will love my honey eventhough she becomes old and

Hiking place near Home!

2010-09-06T23:36:00.003-07:00

Ever imagine the hiking trail is 5 minute away from your home? I am happy with my finding. I found a hiking trail just 5 minutes away from where i live. The entire trail takes about 45 minutes and it is very good trainning ground for beginner (runner). Once you are up the stair, you would find a beautiful tennis court and a playground nearby. I need to visit the place again with my Canon DSLR so

Baby bibs... with such lovely wording....Eversince the arrival of my niece, I can't help looking for fun baby products such as bib, toys, clothes, etc. When I was having my lazy afternoon stroll at Steveson Harbour, I noticed this cool bib in one of the retail stores.

Living in Vancouver, we have the opportunity to experience four seasons annually. Starting with the gloomy, icy, cooling Winter for the first 3 months of the year, then the next visitor so called the lightening up Spring.

When we were casually having our afternoon stroll at the Whistler Village yesterday, my aunt pointed one very interesting artwork of a hotel in the village to me. She was impressed with the flower artwork and indicated that i could do similar thing to my balcony at home. Shame to say that I hardly put much thought to my balcony eversince i moved into the new place. I always claim that i am so
