dear jinny

If I had to pick a favourite part of your head, it would be the top of your head. Of course, I love your entire head, but if I absolutely had to pick, I would choose the top.

Why?

Because it fits perfectly in that spot in between my shoulder and my armpit, and when I hug it, it feels like an egg.

Today, we have been together for 6 happy years! Happy Anniversary honey!

dumplings and hearts

This is my weekend, part 2.

This year, the lunar calendar’s New Year landed on the same day as Valentine’s Day. To celebrate the New Year, our friends had a dumpling making party! We all sat around the table, stuffing and folding, and neatly placing dumplings in a row. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I made everyone wear a paper heart on their shirt, like in the movie Julie and Julia.

We all ate a lot of delicious dumplings that night. And we all looked so festive!

my weekend : part 1

I saw a lot of friends this weekend! It feels so good to take breaks away from the house! I used to work without breaks until I completed my task, especially in school. I think my thinking was that breaks were a waste of time. But I cherish my breaks now, I am realizing that it is the only way to keep sane for large projects, and our projects in life are only getting bigger and more exciting!

Remember this brunch?

Nikki wasn't feeling so good last time, so she was missing in our party. This time, we were complete! We all met at the Hoof Café, possibly the cutest new brunch spot in Toronto! Their decor is perfect, and we were all in love with their light fixtures! Of course, their food was amazing.

I had such a great time ladies!

I just realized, in a restaurant that serves so many interesting meat oriented dishes, I just ordered french toast! What was I thinking?

more white floors

Our bathroom floor. We chose white, glossy hexagon tiles.

It turned out nicely, we are very happy with it. Mojo likes it too, as you can already see.

Thank you for all your compliments on our painted white floors.

If you have wood floors that are making the whole room sad, I would suggest you paint it too.
That was the case for us. Our floor is terribly unleveled, and it was painted maroon. Painting it white made all the difference. I don’t even mind that it is disorientingly unleveled anymore (there is a 3 inch difference in level!).

What are your plans for the weekend? We have a busy one ahead of us. Family, friends, brunches and Valentine ’s Day. Chinese New Year happens to fall on Valentine ’s Day this year!

So, happy new year to you!
