4 reasons why you should attend the 327 stem cell drive
There's a need right now that you can help with. The OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network needs more registrants, especially Chinese registrants. What is this network? It's a network of Canadians who have registered to potentially be donors for patients who need a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, a lifesaving procedure. For this procedure, patients must be carefully →

I've got a confession to make: I love the internet. I absolutely do. It's the greatest thing ever. I don't know what I'd do without it. Really, I don't. There's just so many things that are possible with it: communication, entertainment, purchases, music, the list goes on. Here are a few things I love about it. Communication. Things like facebook and →
something more…
It's been a really long time since I've even touched this blog. Surprisingly, people have still come and visited over the last 7 months, even though there has been nothing new to read. Well, now you have something new to read! So, two things: my online presence is back, and there'll be some minor changes. This blog will be a →
a tribute
This is a tribute to somebody I barely knew for an hour today. He was full of life and seemed to have fun no matter what. He seemed like a great friend to those close to him and very friendly. Unfortunately, he was struck and killed by a car this afternoon. His name was "Joff" I believe and he was a →
wisdom from a nine year old
I attend this small group every other Saturday that is basically made up of university students mainly from SCBC (one other person & I are the exceptions). We meet at our leaders' beautiful condo down at the lakefront. The leaders are actually really good family friends and it's kind of cool how I got connected to this small group. But →
jehovah jireh
Just a quick background before I get into this post. So, for U of T Chinese Christian Fellowship's winter retreat this year, we've faced some challenges in the past couple of months, the biggest one being financial. There were very few places we could hold our retreat on the weekend we wanted (that being next weekend) and one of the places →
themes, trains, & tcelebrations (the ‘t’ is silent, couldn’t think up of another ‘t’ word, so i made one up)
As you may have noticed, I've changed the look of my blog recently. This was more for practical reasons than aesthetics. I loved the old theme, but the blog column was too narrow, I couldn't put pictures in the middle of text effectively, so I changed it to this one. Hope ya like it. Just got back into TO from Leamington →
better memories?
This is how I feel right now:
warm fuzzies
when you have your first drink of the day and the way you can feel it just travel through and coat your insides getting a phone call from a good friend a good piece of stinky cheese putting on a warm pair of worn-in jeans fresh from the dryer hot chocolate with some good friends getting mail, real mail, not credit card bills or junk →
lest we forget
Yesterday was Remembrance Day. The day where most people in Canada wear a poppy and hopefully take a moment out of their busy schedules to remember those who fell in war. In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. Myself, I was →
a warm hug on a cold day
Is there anything better than a hot chocolate on a chilly day? I don't think it gets any better than that...especially when you add a splash of Bailey's, sip it slowly with some good friends, and listen to some Coldplay. mmmm...creamy goodness. Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
hey hey hey, goodbye!
This one goes out to all the leafs' fans :) [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqKh6gb_1uY]
up 2 games!!!
Yay Habs! What a game! Double overtime! I can't believe we blew the 3-0 lead, but at least we got the win and that's all that matters in the playoffs. Wooooo! Put up another section on the blog. I put up the slideshow from the grad dinner and some of the videos I took. I'll be putting up more videos in →
I love my roots!
If you haven't heard yet, Leamington is officially (according to money sense magazine) the best place to live in Canada!!! That's right, little ol' tomato town is where people should live! Booyah! Take that TO! heh heh, well, not really, I don't have anything against Toronto, ('cept maybe the Leafs...) but it's pretty cool that my hometown is held in →
jumping on the bandwagon
Yes, it's true. I've decided to jump onto the bandwagon and start a blog. Actually, I've been wanting to do this for a while now. Actually (again), I wanted to actually start up my own website with my own domain name and everything, but that required me to actually learn things like php and rss and all that web coding →
