Take My Cheque To The Bank

Concerts, CrossFit, and Consumption Overload - my main three Cs of 2018. Whether it was a small purchase of gum to an extravagant gift, it's all in this report... So how much money did I spend in the year? Well, let's take a trip down financial expenses memory lane...

Does saving $1,530 equal to the amount that I spent in a year?

Product Reviews: Uncle Tetsu

When you need to take a bite into what everyone's dishing on - or, if you have a lot of time. After passing by this shop countless times, I decided to get in line and see what the fuss is all about. Was this cheesecake worth waiting?

Things I Don't Get: Shut Up & Swallow

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow people will criticize what you put in your mouth. Why can't we all eat in peace and harmony? Who knew that food can get political...

Seems like the only way to fight with pettiness, is with more pettiness #sigh

Things I Don't Get: Girl On Girl Action

Today's world is ever-changing, and it's incredible how far society has come. However, one thing still remains: the so-called 'cat fight.' A term to reference women feuding each other, it seems that this realm of gossip has no plan of going away. So I ask to myself, why?


Use to be one of my favourite songs... I don't know why anymore

Big Money Money

Throughout 2017, I wanted to see what would the outcome be if I played the same set of numbers for the weekly lottery. What I found out was that I made a few winnings, some bigger than others. 52 weeks, that is $260 spent, is it worth the investment? Let's see how lucky I got.

Can you imagine?

I Make Money Move

2017 was a great year! I had wonderful experiences, as well as many food photos that will never be seen again d": But let's focus on the annual 'budget' post, the one that analyzes how much I like to waste my money... consider my spendings as 'well-wasted.'

When your savings don't even compare to your spendings...

Things I Don't Get: This Is Real. This Is Me.

Seems these days that people want to be their true self - but sometimes, it seems to come off  like they want attention. Perhaps I blur the two ideas, based on my personal experiences. So in a world full of posts and overall image, what becomes the breaking point that people want to start again?

Wonder what made the girl get to this point...

Things I Don't Get: Well Now They Know

Social media plays an important role in today's society. From opinions to even petitions, anyone can express what they have to say. This is my thoughts on the proverbial agenda.

Love is a many-splendored thing... Let me try to explain this

Married To The Money

Just because you make money doesn't mean you should frivolously spend it away. As I'm in the process of paying my credit cards, there needs to be another reevaluation towards my own financial goals. After all, there's got to be more than food (even if that tends to be the form of socializing these days).

Essentially, my 2015

Strolling in Steveston

Just before the summer ended, had to go out with my favourite pair of twins (that would be my cousins, of course). It's like the old times, but now we can get to places we want to see - that is, granted that we can get up for those kind of outings d":

Birthday at Vancouver Aquarium: After Hours

Turning another year older usually doesn't mean big celebrations... Unless, you decide to go to the aquarium at night time. That is what we did for my friend's birthday, and let me tell you, it was hot (literally!) Here are the things that lurk in the dark when you're not seeing them. Come and take a look.

Birthday Lunch at Mega Sushi

It was my aunt's birthday, and I was sad that I couldn't attend her dinner as I had work (the agony of last minute plans!) Since I was available in the morning/afternoon, I decided to bring her to a restaurant that I quite enjoy myself. So let's dive into the food now.

Girls Night Out at Shark Club

Girls just want to have fun, am I right? Well, that's what happened one Wednesday night when everyone was available (for once!) And what do the girls want to do? Eat chicken wings, what else would one do? Let's look at the fun times on one spontaneous night.

Super Pride Parade

When I was young, I would love seeing parades, no matter what it revolved around. Now that I am 24, that is still valid. But if there is one parade that gets massive attention, it would be the annual Pride Parade. There's nothing quite like it, and anything absolutely goes. This was a snippet of 2015.

Islands and Night Markets

Even when your friends tell you that they're coming, it's still a surprise how fast the time goes when once you're together. So what does one do when they arrive? Well, as much one can handle. Here are the shopping, eating, and other shenanigans we've been through (and hopefully there is more to come).

Ahma's Birthday at Rainflower

It's incredible to see the life of your grandma, who I call Ahma (Fukien for grandma), especially to see milestones such as turning another year older. Not the biggest celebration, but still a very special one. Please welcome her 86th year.

Cousin's Day at Playland

Got up bright and early to get the most out of the amusement park with my cousin and cousin's children. It may have been cold, but no one seemed to care one bit. And with good company, who is really going to complain with all of the fun and excitement going on?

Fourth of July Celebration

Truth be told, I have never celebrated the Fourth of July, considering that my sister has been living in the states for a number of years. Now that she lives closer to home, we decided to do another trip to Seattle, with a few new sights to see. This was a short vacation, but a well appreciated one.

Product Reviews: Just For Men Moustache & Beard Dye

It's been mid-way that I've decided to grow facial hair, and although it's not what I expected, it does give me opportunities to experiment with new products. Never thought I would have to colour it, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If it's like hair colouring, then this shouldn't be painful, right?

Canada Day

Ever have traditions that you look forward to? When it comes to Canada Day, it rarely changes, but when it does, it's because it's better. Not the usual parade that I'm accustomed to watching, however, it still involves the people I love most. Let's look at the nation's birthday celebrations.
