In the deepest throes of heartbreak (nearly three years ago), I posted the lyrics to two of Moulann Chang’s songs, “When you turn away” and “Where did forever go?”. NPY says they are somewhat generic ballads but when they struck a chord so long ago, the emotion of the songs never leave me because they…

Taking it one day at a time
As the weekend approached, I wondered if I would actually come out of it alive because here is what went down (it’s so Vancouver!) – Friday Dancing at Robson Square in the first of their Summertime Dance (Lesson) Series. It is free and so much fun. Granted, this did not require a great deal of…
“How to Get the Guy”
Upon my sister’s suggestion – she thinks I’m in dire need of help =P – I tuned into this dating reality series, How to Get the Guy. It is guilty amounts of fun on a Monday night since you can see yourself in each of the four women – Kris who needs to learn to…
They call me the Energizer Bunny
Last Saturday, I – * ran 11.5k at 8 a.m., * shopped at IKEA in Richmond, * strolled for 2 hours along English Bay/Stanley Park, * drank way too many cheap drinks at Rugby, * danced it all off at Saigon (the “free club”) next door, and * enjoyed a nightcap with a really inane…
A fantastic wine pairing
A girl sitting alone in a bar with a glass of red wine, reading a love/sex memoir is totally asking for it… for a pick-up, that is. I first encountered him at the reception counter where he chuckled while asking, “Where are you going?” “Halifax,” I replied drily. Henceforth I was known as Halifax-Girl. He…
“You bring out the best in me”
It’s the end of an era – ten years of 7th Heaven. I didn’t watched most of it but made sure to catch the last episodes which aired the past month. Even so, I always identified with “Mary” (Jessica Biel’s character), the royal screw-up who was incidentally about my age. Aside from everything wrapping up…
Time to buckle down
What is the end result when you mosh to Brit Pop, groove to R&B, and carelessly agree to go on carnival rides, all in the space of four days? Light-headedness. Actually, I think that was mostly the effect of the last activity, going to PlayDome, B.C. Place-turned-midway for the closing weekend of the high school…
23 Dates
The Asian Speed Dating was a success on the organizers’ part by holding a sold-out event at Jupiter Cafe on Wednesday night. Behold here my note sheet – I hope it’s not legible by a combination of my deliberate chicken scratch and shorthand. I anticipated feeling tired by the intense (3-minute) conversations but it was…
The Link
I was trying to figure out why I’m so down about not being a competitor in the upcoming dance competition, the Gala Ball. I know I’m partly to blame despite the fact that my previous partner and I mutually dumped each other. I went on a search for someone better-looking who could also dance but…
Should I or shouldn’t I?
When I said after Cupid’s Ball I was open to trying speed-dating, I had no idea an opportunity would present itself so soon in the form of an Asian Speed Dating event coming up on March 15. Given my predilections, perhaps I shouldn’t let this opportunity pass and otherwise have to go to some other…
