Dream House

This house is over thirty years in the making. My parents hold off building the house of their dreams to prioritize sending all four of us to the best schools they can afford, trips to broaden our horizons and providing us things and experiences that will equip us to have better futures. 

This house is a product of hard work and a lot of sacrifices throughout the years. Hats off to my parents for not giving up on their dream house!

Play Me, I'm Yours

There's an interesting art installation in Toronto right now - Play Me I'm Yours. 41 pianos from different artists were put all around Toronto (including the ferry that goes to the island I heard) and you can play it!

I found two in a week. One at the Distillery, another at Queen and Spadina.

If you see one, do share

Wiggly No More

What is it with 6 - 7 year old kids and their teeth! Having a wiggly tooth and the anticipation of it coming off anytime excites them, well, at least my 6-year old niece.

Every time, "Auntie, look, my tooth wiggles."

Or, "I can't eat that, my tooth is wiggly."

Here's my niece (and Alvin) happy that she lost her front tooth. All smiles!

Under Water

Our dinky, point and shoot Olympus water camera took some decent under water photos.
This is way better than the disposable ones.

Coral Garden - the sun rays seep through the water kissing the corals.

These blue lips protect pearls.

Sun rays beautifully reflected under water.

Everyone in the water.

This is my favourite spot. No one there but us. In the water, all you can hear are the birds chirping, bubbles in the water and the person next to you breathing. One will really feel connected to nature.

After a long day of swimming it's really nice to stand up, walk and rest.
